It’s Wednesday and three new games have been added to the Xbox Live Arcade today. The lone new title this week is Mad Riders, an off-road racer from Dead Island developer Techland. It’s been priced at 800 Microsoft Points ($10) and promises 45 “stunning” tracks:

Mad Riders is an adrenaline-fueled off-road arcade racing game, that will let you perform amazing aerial stunts and race on over 45 stunning tracks from all over the world, at breathtaking speeds.

Also available this week are two Sega collections from the Genesis era: the Golden Axe Collection and the Streets of Rage Collection. Both compilations also carry a price of 800 Microsoft Points ($10) each.

More Sega classics on their way to PSN, XBLA

Posted on May 20, 2012 by John Scalzo

Sega has announced they plan to bring more classic games from the Master System/Genesis era to the PlayStation Network and Xbox Live Arcade this month. Sega is calling this latest wave of classics “Vintage Collection 3,” and that moniker is more than apt.

Xbox 360 gamers will receive 12 Sega classics over the next two weeks. The titles will be released as special three-game collections for a very nice price (800 Microsoft Points/$10 each). Check out the release schedule right here:

Monster World Collection (5/23)
Wonder Boy in Monster Land (Arcade)
Wonder Boy in Monster World (Genesis)
Monster World IV (Genesis)

Alex Kidd & Co. Collection (5/23)
Super Hang-On (Arcade)
The Revenge of Shinobi (Genesis)
Alex Kidd in Miracle World (Master System)

Golden Axe Collection (5/30)
Golden Axe (Arcade)
Golden Axe 2 (Genesis)
Golden Axe 3 (Genesis)

Streets of Rage Collection (5/30)
Streets of Rage (Genesis)
Streets of Rage 2 (Genesis)
Streets of Rage 3 (Genesis)

Sega also has six classic titles on tap for the PlayStation Store on May 22. Why the difference? Because the PSN got all three Streets of Rage games and all three Golden Axe games months ago. So with that knowledge, we know that Wonder Boy in Monster Land, Wonder Boy in Monster World, Monster World IV, Super Hang-On, The Revenge of Shinobi, and Alex Kidd in Miracle World will all be available as individual downloads on the PSN this week for $4.99 each.

Say it with me… SAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY-GA
