Xbox LIVE Wrapup -- 'Needs More Stacking' edition

Stacking, the Russian stacking doll adventure from developer Double Fine, gets an expansion this week with the release of The Lost Hobo KingRed Faction: Battlegrounds also arrives to whet your appetite for Armageddon, and Bad Company 2 brings the deals in what's otherwise a pretty light on the offerings week.

Green Lantern: Rise of the Manhunters Takes Shape for 3DS

The 3DS version of Green Lantern: Rise of the Manhunters looks like it's got a less movie, more comic book vibe- a style that's setting it apart from it's console cousins.


PSN Update -- 'Battlegrounds' Edition

As in Red Faction: Battlegrounds- The long running series of first/third person action games becomes a downloadable multiplayer blastathon in it's latest incarnation. This little appetizer for (the soon to be available) Red Faction: Armageddon should more than hold fans over until that full fledged sequel drops.

As for as other releases, this is actually a pretty slim week on the network. The SOCOM 4 demo is out- but as far as anything else that's interesting, that's it really. Disappointing since PSN updates have been really good as of late.

Get back on the stick Sony!

The Nintendo Download -- 'Super Bonk' edition



The aptly named Super Bonk of Super Nintendo fame makes it's Virtual Console appearance this week. Bonk, of course, is best known as the semi-mascot of the niche Turbografx-16 console. Here on the SNES though, he's super.

Other titles this week include a baseball management sim, a fishing game, and an interesting sounding dungeon crawling RPG.

There are a lot of LEGO games out there. Indiana Jones, Batman, LEGO Universe, Rock Band... but LEGO Star Wars just seems to have something special. Not all that long ago, I was ready to write off the LEGO mini-genre as it seemed like it's time had come and 'stale' might have been an understatement.



But then along came A New Hope a new hope- The Clone Wars.

Dungeon Siege III Unveils Katerina





What gives Katerina her monster bashin' power? Is it the magic guns or the thigh-highs and heels?

Review: Trapped Dead

Headup Games' Trapped Dead is a lot of things- it's a zombie game, it's an adventure game, it's an RTS... it features some of the most revolting 'eating' sound effects I've ever heard...
