Building off of last Wednesday's launch of Marathon: Durandal and Spyglass Board Games, August and the rest of the summer are shaping up to be scorching hot on Xbox LIVE Arcade. Perfect for whittling away the long days of summer are a bevy of unique sports games, classic and futuristic fighting games, as well as a few other surprises, all of which will be making their way to Xbox LIVE Arcade in the coming weeks. This Xbox LIVE Arcade Wednesday, gamers can log virtual track time and exercise their fingers and thumbs with Track & Field from Konami. Originally released in 1983, Track & Field was an arcade smash. The updated version for Xbox LIVE Arcade features the same button mashing game mechanic as the original, and now allows for up to four player multiplayer competition on one Xbox 360 or over Xbox LIVE. Clocking in at 400 Microsoft Points, Track & Field will be available to download on Xbox LIVE Arcade this Wednesday, August 8 beginning at 9:00 a.m. GMT (2:00 a.m. PDT).

Other games include Ecco the Dolphin, Hexic HD, Ubisoft's War World, Geon: Emotions (Eidos), Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords (D3Publisher of America), Space Giraffe (Llamasoft), Streets of Rage 2 (Sega), Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo HD Remix (Capcom) and a whole lot more.
