2K Games will publish two independently developed games exclusively on the Live Arcade, we learn today.

The first title is The Misadventures of P.B. Winterbottom, a pseudo-Victorian baddie who steals pies using the ability to bend time. Silent film inspired visuals are promised and the game has already won numerous awards.

Then there's Alex and Pixel, another puzzle-style affair, which sees the artist Axel and dog Pixel off on an adventure in the Dream World. A point-and-click adventure is billed.

Beyond these two daring releases we also learn today that and Knuckles will land on the come September 9th.

A faithful recreation of the title is planned, and there will be a few bonuses chucked in for Sonic fans to savour. We'll have more on all this very soon.
