Xbox Live: Harbor Master and Centipede now in the Marketplace

An amazing two weeks ago, we brought you the news of this week’s Xbox Live releases and their prices, and now our prediction has come true. Harbor Master and Centipede are finally available on the Marketplace.

Harbor Master is a line-drawing game from Imangi Studios in which players direct incoming ships to port. Once the ships unload their cargo, they must also be sent safely on their way. It features seven levels with cool hazards like pirates and sea monsters. For more information, check out our exclusive preview.

Centipede is a faithful emulation of the hit 1980 arcade game from Atari (the Windows Phone port comes from Krome Studios). Players control a garden gnome who fends off invading centipedes and other vile bugs. Centipede is also the first Game Room title for Microsoft’s mobile platform. These arcade ports include bonus content like 3D recreations of the original arcade cabinets as well as historical data. WP7 Game Room games share Leaderboard data with the Xbox 360 and Games for Windows Live (PC) versions.

Both games costs $2.99 and have free trials. Grab Harbor Master here and Centipede here (Zune links) on the Marketplace.

  • you think you're so cool don't you! well then, predict next weeks!haha, on topic: Centipede is actually real fun, and the achievements for travelling a certain speed (in real life, while you play) will be fun to do!
  • Just bought Harbor Master. A very well done game and it's great to play when you have some time to kill!! Well worth the three bucks!
  • I'm always working on finding out the new releases. :) Sometimes Microsoft doesn't decide on them until late, or they just want to play their cards close to chest.I'm looking forward to reviewing Centipede for our site.
  • I dunno I got a feeling it might be Deal or no Deal & Game Room - Shao Lin's road since those two are on the list of WP7 games on MS site but aren't actually out? But that's just a guess, since Game Chest: Board Games has been on that list forever yet it's not been released yet.
  • More WP7 exclusive games, less iphone ports please Microsoft.
  • Both these games are unfortunately out dated and boring...When will we have some quality games ?
  • Harbor Master is stuttering on my Arrive - not a lot, but just enough to look bad. Boats do not move smoothly, and the screen does not always draw the path correctly. Very disappointing.
