    Japan's Games On Demand Are Different To Yours

    You've seen which games will be made available on the American Games on Demand service when it launches on a 360 near you. But what about Japan? Japan's games are different.

    Here's the list, which eschews games like Fable and Assassin's Creed in favour of some games with a more...Japanese fare.

    Idolmaster
    Idolmaster Live 4 U
    Viva Pinata
    Need for Speed: Most Wanted
    Perfect Dark Zero
    Bullet Witch
    Fight Night: Round 3
    Rainbow Six: Vegas

    Each of those games will go for ¥2000 (USD$21), which might be a challenge for Microsoft, since you can find some of those games used for under ¥1000 (USD$10). Then again, others will be bargains!

    As with everywhere else, Games on Demand will launch in Japan on August 11.
