Games on Demand adds Bolt & Trivial Pursuit

David Hinkle — Tue, 08 Dec 2009 18:15:00 EST

One of the more convenient (and pricey) methods for games acquisition -- Microsoft's Games on Demand service -- has just added a pair of new titles to its North American library: Disney's Bolt and EA's Trivial Pursuit. Each can be yours for $19.99, granted you have the respective 5GB and 2GB of space for each. Prices and availability vary by region, but the insatiable, shameless desire for Achievements that would drive you to actually purchase these games is universal.

You've read the headline and you're probably thinking, "Oh, great. Just what we need. Another article effusing praise for Left 4 Dead. Thanks. Thank you so much." In truth, yes, we're excited that Left 4 Dead is coming out this week, but the reality of the headline is best understood by glancing at the list below. There are twelve, twelve new games being released this week. If that's not enough to metamorphose every respectable gamer into a gibbering, cash-starved zombie, we're not sure what is. Now, if you'll excuse us, we have suddenly developed an irresistible craving for ~~braaains~~ gaaames.

Bolt demo lights up the Live Marketplace

Ready for download off the Xbox Live Marketplace is a new 818MB Disney's Bolt game demo. Feel the excitement?

For the uninformed, Bolt is yet another video game based on a movie by the same name that features a dog named Bolt (voiced by one John Travolta) who truly believes he's a super hero dog. But no matter how good the movie may sound, the game will probably be trash thanks to long held tradition of movie based games turning out to be utter crud. That said, we love the movie's hamster character named Rhino. Just watch the embedded video and you'll see why.

Disney announces Bolt licensed games, our minds wander

Disney Interactive Studios announced yesterday it will release a video game based on its upcoming movie Bolt for pretty much every system currently available -- except Mac, natch. Bolt is the latest Disney CGI film -- no, that's not the same as a Pixar CGI film -- and stars John Travolta as a TV-star dog with an identity crisis ... blah, blah, blah.

Why are we even bringing up this totally random licensed game that reviewers will automatically give a 7 to? Well, it's only a few more weeks until E3 2008 and we wanted to remind everyone of last year's Disney press conference. Let your imaginations run free gentle readers, what horrible thing tied into this game could Disney make journalists experience this year?
