XBLA in Brief: Boulder Dash-XL
We've already reviewed Ms. 'Splosion Man, and we're currently cranking away on Warhammer 40,000: Kill Team, which leaves only one Xbox Live Arcade game this week: Boulder Dash-XL. A sequel to the '80s puzzler, Boulder Dash-XL tasks players with collecting diamonds, avoiding avalanches and ...
XBLA in Brief: MLB Bobblehead Pros, Dead Block
Deadliest Warrior: Legends isn't the only game launching on Xbox Live Arcade this week. Also up for grabs: MLB Bobblehead Pros and Dead Block. The former is an arcade baseball game with wobbly-necked players, while the latter is a rockabilly zombie defense game. See them both in the latest ...
XBLA in Brief: BackBreaker Vengeance, Galaga Legions DX
Half-Minute Hero wasn't the only game to hit Xbox Live Arcade this week.

XBLA in Brief: The Adventures of Shuggy

XBLA in Brief: Sega Rally Online Arcade
Sega Rally Online Arcade marks the sole release on Xbox Live Arcade this week. Based on the "DNA" of Sega Rally Revo and Sega Rally 3, it should be comfortably familiar to fans of the series. For the uninitiated: It's essentially power sliding and lots of mud. Watch the latest XBLA in Brief and ...
XBLA in Brief: Star Raiders, Gatling Gears
There are two very different games on XBLA this week. On the one hand we have Star Raiders, a space combat sim and, on the other, we have Gatling Gears, a twin-stick shooter.
