Rootin', tootin', shootin'!

There's been some mass confusion over Xbox Live Arcade releases of late. Sanctum 2 still isn't available in all regions, and Monaco was delayed, re-dated, delayed, and then re-dated again before finally hitting the store, but we're hoping that things will settle down this week. Only one release to mention today, and...

It's about to get a little bit neon up in here.

We're heading into a single-game Wednesday once again but this time around, things are looking up. The neon-infused Far Cry 3 spin-off Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon is the order of the day, and given that we already know very much how it'll play (as we've played Far Cry 3) - we reckon there's a lot of...

What's Theirs is Yours

On Wednesday, we reported that the Xbox Live Arcade title Monaco: What's Yours Is Mine was delayed for an unspecified amount of time from its Wednesday release date, due to a bug being found in the code. Happily, that bug has been well and truly squashed, and the game will be available to download from today. At the moment,...

You can't bluff this.

It was due to be a double-handed dose of gaming goodness for Xbox Live Wednesday this week, with two potentially very strong games making their debut on XBLA. However, Monaco: What's Yours Is Mine has suffered a very late delay, so we're left with only one new game today. However, it does look like it could be a good one...

A bit of a diversion from the norm this week, with Sacred Citadel getting a launch back on Wednesday and Atlus' latest crack at dominating the digital space available to download today. The week is winding on, so let's break it down... God Mode (800 MSP) God Mode is a third-person shooter that allows up to four players to play in co-op mode...

Side-scroller heads up Wednesday's action.

Wednesday has come around once again, as it has a habit of doing at least once every week, and that means that it's Xbox Live Arcade release day. It isn't the only release day this week, as Atlus' God Mode is due to hit the servers on Friday. Today though, you can pick up... Sacred Citadel (1200 MSP) A...

Baja can't wait for this one.

Welcome to Wednesday. We hope you're enjoying it so far. Today is a single release day on Xbox Live Arcade, and after the excitement of the 10/10 rated BattleBlock Theater last week, we're hoping for some more high-quality gaming. Motocross Madness is on the cards. Motocross Madness (800 MSP) Formerly known as Avatar...

Rebooted, but far enough?

Friday's up, and Xbox Live Arcade is getting a new title today in the form of Double Dragon II: Wander of The Dragons. We've got a trailer from the game below, but this is all dependant on you not being gamed-out by the excellent BattleBlock Theater that launched a couple of days ago, of course. Double Dragon II: Wander of...

The Behemoth Returns

Another one-title Wednesday for you this week on Xbox Live Arcade, but given that the new game is from The Behemoth, developers of the fantastic Castle Crashers, that should be enough to be going on with. Battleblock Theater (1200 MSP) From Xbox.com: "Shipwrecked. Captured. Betrayed. Forced to perform for an audience of cats?...

Deeper underground.

It's a one-title Wednesday for Xbox Live Arcade, with the somewhat epic-looking Terraria being the only title on offer. With that said, the retro-styled dig-'em-up sandbox RPG seems to have an awful lot of gameplay piled in.to the package, so there's enough to be going on with. Terraria (1200 MSP) In Terraria, apparently nothing...

Back once again...

Another single-game Wednesday on Xbox Live Arcade, but we can take heart that the game on offer is from a series with a rich heritage. Darkstalkers: Resurrection is the order of the day, and you can check out the details below... Darkstalkers: Resurrection (1,200 MSP) Darkstalkers: Resurrection contains two games. First up, you...

One for the money...

A relatively quiet Wednesday this week in terms of Xbox Live Arcade releases, with only one title to shout about, in the form of Dollar Dash. We're told that Milestone's rally title WRC Powerslide is also due for release on XBLA on Friday, but we're not entirely sure about how likely that is, given that Wednesday is the...

Just another retro wednesday.

Xbox Live Arcade release day is one of our favourite times of the week, and this week sees the release of two potential crackers. Available today, we have:- Phantom Breaker: Battle Grounds (800 MSP) With a distinctly 8-bit style, Phantom Breaker looks to be a pretty decent proposition. Eight stages of side-scrolling...

Flame-haired archer takes aim.

Olympic Friday has kicked off with a bit of Archery over at Lord's. Coincidentally, Brave: The Video Game has been released in the UK. Based on Disney/Pixar's latest movie offering, Brave: The Video Game allows players to relive highlights from star Merida's journey as she attempts to undo a horrific curse. The movie...

Featuring "Avatar Famestar", to boot!

The one Kinect-only title that Microsoft showed off during their E3 Press Conference - Wreckateer - is available now from Xbox Live. Billed as "Wreckateer Featuring Avatar Famestar" over on Xbox.com, the game puts you in control of a giant castle-wrecking Ballista (or catapult, to you and me.) 60 castles are...

Hii-ya

The latest add-on to join Kinect Fun Labs is fitness freebie Junk Fu, out on Xbox Live Marketplace today. The official description is... interesting, to say the least: Can you master Junk Fu? Or will Junk Fu master you? Chop, kick, and smash junk as it flies off a junkyard conveyor belt. Turn junk into junk food by cranking up your calorie...

Zumba 2 out today

If you're planning to over-indulge on chocolates tomorrow, Zumba Fitness Rush is at hand to help you work off the pounds afterwards.

We'll put the game through its paces...
