There's nothing that brings friends closer than a little world domination
The Xbox Live Arcade has been host to a plethora of board game adaptations by this point, but the king of all war games has been sadly absent. Come and go are the classic compilations and German fan favourites, but Risk has been nowhere in sight. However, Hasbro has finally seen fit to release an online adaptation of La Conquête du Monde with an updated rule set for fast online play. For those that have been waiting, this is now your day.

Like that cute chick from summer camp, Blur matures racing-combat to a beautiful conclusion
Fast cars and projectiles have gone together since a particular plumber figured out a turtle shell to the back of the head really hurts. Since the racing-combat genre’s inception there have been plenty of attempts to mature the gameplay, but the over-the-top nature of cars racing to the death has always felt a little juvenile.

By now everyone knows the biggest games of E3. Anticipated months before announcement and showcased on the grandest of stages there’s an undeniable pizazz to gaming’s giants. We all expected them to show up and they all did, but what about the little guys?

Earthworm Jim crawls back in to gaming for an XBLA revamp
Earthworm Jim is one of those properties you either love or have no idea what to think of it. Between the gross-out humour, bizarre characters and some unique platforming mechanics, Earthworm Jim is a cult classic that defined the SNES/Genesis generation for many. Now, Gameloft has revived the extraterrestrial (or is that extra-terrestrial?) hero in full HD for the Xbox Live Arcade.
