MCV Staff 13th July 2010 Business News

The launch of Microsoft’s Destination Arcade has been delayed until Wednesday, July 21st.

The slip was revealed by the company’s Larry Hyrb on his Major Nelson blog, and will see the revamped interface mark the start of the latest Xbox Live promotion.

Announced last week, Destination Arcade is a new browser designed to make it easier for 360 owners to search through arcade games.

I wanted to let you know that the Destination Arcade release date has been moved to next Wednesday to kick off the launch of Summer of Arcade,” said Hyrb.

Destination Arcade will only be available in the US. If I learn of any plans for other regions, I’ll be sure to let you know.

I have also learned that the Destination Arcade app will only be available during the Summer of Arcade promotion, which ends August 18th.”

Summer of Arcade will highlight key weekly releases, including Castlevania: Harmony of Despair and Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light.

[Industry news] Core Keeper’s ancient Core becomes a one of a kind gaming PC, to be won for charity

More than 4 million people have played Core Keeper, and every one of them started the same way, waking in a dark cavern beside an ancient Core that has lain dormant for aeons. Pugstorm and Fireshine Games, the game's developer and publisher, have now worked with Scan to build that Core into a real gaming PC. It is one of a kind, and it is the prize in the Global Games Draw, a new prize draw for Into Games, a UK charity that helps young people from working class backgrounds into careers in games. Every entry raises money for that work.
