Xbox South Africa Presents Winter of Arcade

While the rest of the Northern world is soaking up the summer sunshine in scantily clad clothing and enjoying the beach, most folks in the Southern hemisphere are kitted out in jerseys, pullovers and scarves whilst hibernating indoors waiting for winter to pass.

Thankfully, Xbox South Africa is here to warm our fingers and help us pass the time until summer returns with the Winter of Arcade.

Winter of Arcade runs for the entire month of August 2013. Check out the games below and then tell us which of the Xbox Live Winter of Arcade titles you are most looking forward to.
