Xbox LIVE Wrapup -- 'Section 8' edition

The sequel to the sorta 'meh' FPS, Section 8, hits LIVE this week. Section 8: Prejudice may not be the most anticipated of Arcade releases, but it's a chunky one nonetheless. S8:P comes loaded with a "5 hour single player campaign" as well as 32 player online battles.

There are also some pretty decent sales this week as Peggle, Plants vs Zombies, and ilomilo are all on the cheap.

*note- this edition of the wrap is seriously late- so if you want any of this stuff... you best hustle.

Xbox LIVE Wrapup -- 'Yar's revenge is a Dish Best Served Cold' edition

Seriously cold- been a while Yar. If that is your real name... ahem...

The remake of the classic Atari title, Yar's Revenge, debuts this week along side a double helping of map packs with Bulletstorm and Call of Duty: Black Ops (or as the cool kids call it- COD:BlOps) There's a few sales this week that might be of interest as well-

Xbox LIVE Wrapup -- 'Sanctum Sanctorum' edition

Ghostbusters: Sanctum of Slime is pulling double duty this week, heading up both the PSN and Xbox LIVE list of releases- but like on Sony's online service, there's a lot more to like on LIVE this week as well.

There's some demo love with WWE All Stars and Zumba Fitness, the consistently overlooked Call of Juarez appears on Games on Demand, and look- Sonic 4 is on S A L E.

Xbox LIVE Wrapup -- 'Defiant Poker' edition

Who doesn't like poker?!? Sometimes it feels like there must be somebody out there somewhere who's sole task is to make sure there's a freakin' ton of card games released.

This week it's Full House Poker, and no (before you ask), there are no Olsen's or Bob Sagat's anywhere to be found. Apparently, it's just a card game. What are there -like- a billion poker games on LIVE now?

Where's Dave Coulier when you need him, huh? Oh, I should probably mention that there's a new Halo: Reach map pack available. You might be interested. It's called Defiant.

Xbox LIVE Wrapup -- 'Torchlight*' edition

*Torchlight edition not available in Japan.
It's an adventuresome week on 'the Xbox LIVE'. Action/RPG Torchlight starts things off, followed up by the two Dragon Age 2 DLC packs- and if it's a value you're looking for, add-ons for Lara Croft & The Guardian of Light will round things off- lots of stuff, including the actual game, is on sale.

Venture on for... bullet points!!!

Xbox LIVE Wrapup -- 'Beyond Good and Evil' edition

Beyond Good and Evil is one of the greatest games that nobody bought to have ever seen release on the original Xbox- and now it's had a facelift. The Xbox LIVE 'HD' treatment has brought BG&E back to living rooms across the globe, where it will hopefully not be ignored a second time.

Oh, there's also a ton of demos this week- including Modern Warfare 2 and CoD:BlOps (yes really, and no we don't get it either- unless there's a certain announcement coming soon) and the Severed add-on for Dead Space 2. Enjoy.

Xbox LIVE Wrapup -- 'Contra' edition

Okay, so Hard Corps Uprising isn't called Contra. You won't find it in the title- we looked.

But everything about this new LIVE Arcade title from Konami screams out the classic game's name fr the whole world to hear. It's a little bit re-boot, a little bit homage. If you remember the NES days and dieing a thousand times over from intercepting giant glowing bullets with your face, then you just might enjoy this blast down memory lane.
