DaKing240 breaks the news about these six games being on PartnerNet:

Centipede

Milipede

Jetpac

Pinball FX

Alien Hominid

Ikaruga

While I feel I’ve had enough of both Centipede and Millipede, the other games are pretty interesting. We wrote about Ikaruga previously so that’s known. Alien Hominid should be great and I can’t wait to play Pinball FX, which we covered previously. Also, Jetpac being up there more or less confirms that it’s the game that Rare are working on.

It would seem that we’re not getting a Live Arcade release today, which is sad of course. Actually, it kind of sucks, to me Microsofts is neglecting their Live Arcade game commitment. There are so many indie developers out there with great ideas, so it shouldn’t be hard to make sure that there’s new quality content each week. Why not just let up some smaller games for 400 points or something?

Anyway, I think Microsoft sense that they need to provide value each Wednesday, so they’re trying to get out of this fix by listing ten upcoming Live Arcade games in a press release.
