Ooooo - it’s been a while hasn’t it? During the absence of the XBLA updates some great games have come out. But luckily we’re just in time for some of the best. Mainly Bionic Commando: Rearmed (which everyone and their mother should have), and Braid - an awesome sleeper hit for the Arcade. And the Fable II Pub Games just make me want Fable II more.
So enough talk yeah? Let’s do it…

Fable II Pub Games - Trial: FREE Full: 800c XBOX Live Registration: FREE

• “The Fable II Pub Games include three exciting casino-style games set in the world of Lionhead’s award-winning Fable® series. The games include Fortune’s Tower (a pyramid card game in which each row can make or break your fortunes), Keystone (a game of dice and chance with numerous betting options), and Spinnerbox (where luck is everything). When you get the retail version of Fable II, you can transfer gold and unique items that you’ve won in these pub games to your characters in the world of Albion.”

Braid - Trial: FREE Full: 1,200c Picture Pack #1 & 2: 160c ea.

• “Braid is a puzzle-platformer, drawn in a painterly style, where the player manipulates the flow of time in strange and unusual ways. From a house in the city, journey to a series of worlds and solve puzzles to rescue an abducted princess. In each world, you have a different power to affect the way time behaves, and it is time’s strangeness that creates the puzzles. The time behaviors include: the ability to rewind, objects that are immune to being rewound, time that is tied to space, parallel realities, time dilation, and perhaps more. Braid treats your time and attention as precious; there is no filler in this game. Every puzzle shows you something new and interesting about the game world.”

Bionic Commando: Rearmed - Trial: FREE Full: 800c Theme Pack#1-4: 150c ea Picture Pack: 100c

• “Bionic Commando® Rearmed sees a return of the intense 2-D side-scrolling, shooting, and grappling action from the much-loved 1988 Bionic Commando. Bionic Commando Rearmed brings the amazing gameplay up to date with stunning new visuals, new weapons, online rankings, and a reworked musical score just for starters.

  Bionic Commando Rearmed delivers two-player co-op, a frenetic multiplayer mode for up to four players, and a series of over 50 devious challenge rooms to test your swinging skills.

  Wire-tapping the enemy communication in Bionic Commando Rearmed will give you access to information about weaknesses for the newly-designed Imperial bosses in the game. Play Bionic Commando Rearmed to unlock the original NES character costume and use it in Bionic Commando.”

So there it is folks! Not a lot here but with games like this who gives a shit?! You have a good week!

Durka!
