Microsoft has revealed the games that will be featured in their 'House Party' Xbox Live Arcade block.

The games that will be included are:

February 16: Hard Corps: Uprising, 1200 MSP - Hard Corps: Uprising is actually a game in the Contra series, but the first to not include 'Contra' in the title.

February 23: Bejeweled Blitz, 800 MSP - The fast-paced version of the classic Facebook game features 16 player multiplayer and Bejeweled Twist Blitz as well.

March 2: Beyond Good & Evil HD, 800 MSP - Basically the PC version ported to the Xbox 360. It features high-res graphics, and frankly, it's nice to revisit this classic title.

March 9: Torchlight, 1200 MSP - The popular Diablo-style hack-and-slash RPG arrives on XBLA.

March 16: Full House Poker, 800 MSP - The main attraction of the game is that it heavily utilizes Avatars, as seen in the video below, and will allow gamers on XBLA to play against gamers on the Windows Phone 7. Don't poo poo it, you might face off against someone playing in Spartan armor or Altair's clothes.
