We got two games coming out this week on Xbox Live Arcade, where you can command the forces of nature in “Elements of Destruction™” or dive into a family-friendly underwater adventure with “Sea Life Safari,” both launching on Xbox LIVE Arcade this Wednesday, June 18, 2008 at 9:00 a.m. GMT (1:00 a.m. PDT).

Assume the role of the master of disaster!  Use tornadoes, lightning, earthquakes and many other forces of nature to do your bidding in “Elements of Destruction.”  Fired from your job as a top research scientist, you have built a machine that allows you to control nature and exact revenge on the corporation that fired you. Your quest for revenge takes you to locations across the globe where you must use the forces of nature in challenging ways. Shake down buildings with earthquakes, suck-up and throw objects with tornadoes, and strike down aircraft with lightning to cause mayhem in cities and towns across the earth.

Developed by Frozen Codebase, “Elements of Destruction” will be available worldwide (with the exception of Japan) for 800 Microsoft Points and is rated T for Teen by the ESRB.

Being a mad scientist not cutting it? Then assume the role of an underwater photographer that is tasked with capturing the incredible beauty of wild sea creatures in “Sea Life Safari.” This family-friendly game features 60 animated marine life, five uniquely beautiful destinations and an easy-to-understand tutorial. Explore the tropical Coral Reef or swim towards the Ship Graveyard, capturing stunning pictures to fill up your personal scrapbooks. The underwater setting of “Sea Life Safari” also features secret routes, hidden items and special appearances by rare nighttime creatures to keep gamers coming back for more.

Developed by Sierra Online, “Sea Life Safari” will be available worldwide for 800 Microsoft Points and is rated E for Everyone by the ESRB.

Anyone interested in these titles? I have heard that Sea Life Safari is somewhat like an old Pokemon game for Nintendo 64.
