Microsoft announced today that 3 on 3 NHL Arcade will be this week's release on XBLA. The game has been out on the PS3 for a while, but now it is time for Xbox 360 owners to get their crack. It seems to be garnering favorable feedback across the board, so I will have to check out the demo when it hits to see if it is as fun as people have been saying. 3 on 3 NHL Arcade will hit Xbox Live Arcade this Wednesday at 5:00 a.m. EST at a cost of 800 MS points.
