Alien Breed 3: Descent (X360/PC)
Alien Breed 3: Descent is an explosive science fiction arcade-shooter with an epic story, swarms of highly intelligent alien enemies and highly detailed environments.
The opening title, Alien Breed: Impact/Evolution, introduced players to the plight of Theodore Conrad, chief engineer aboard the doomed ship Leopold, struggling to regain control of his ship after a collision with a mysterious foreign vessel. Alien Breed 2: Assault saw Conrad fighting back, boarding the newly conjoined ship and delivering doses of old-fashioned revenge on its inhabitants. Now, with Alien Breed 3: Descent, gamers can fight to the stunning conclusion of the trilogy.
With the Leopold and its unwanted attachment breaching the surface of an imposing ice planet, you have only a few hours to wade your way through flooded corridors and locate the origin of the threat that has so far laid waste to your once proud space ship. For the first time Conrad can venture outside of the ship in the breathtaking hull walk set pieces, and for those trigger-happy shooter fans there are vicious new enemies to fight, including the Electro-Shocker alien and the awe-inspiring final bosses. New armaments are also available in Descent, with the Electro-Link gun allowing for shockingly good crowd control whilst the formidable Project X weapon will tear through anything in its path.
Alien Breed 3: Descent is available on Xbox Live Arcade (800 Microsoft Points) and PC (via Steam) for £6.99/$9.99/€8.99. On Steam, PC customers buying the game in the first week of release will also get a 10% reduction off the full price.

Pac-Man Championship Edition DX (XBLA)
Pac-Man Championship Edition DX includes two exciting new modes in addition to Pac-Man Championship Edition's signature Score Attack mode, where players must collect as many points as possible before time runs out. Time Trials has players clearing out a set number of laps around each maze as fast as they can. Ghost Combo forgoes gobbling Pac-Dots for chomping as many ghosts as possible. Players' scores are determined on the consecutive number of ghosts Pac-Man eats while chaining together Power Pellets.
Also new to the series are the multitudes of sleeping ghosts that infest each maze. As Pac-Man runs past these ghosts, they become angry and chase him until he finds a Power Pellet. If a ghost gets too close, a slowdown effect will begin, giving the player an extra vital second to figure out the best course of action. If the ghost train becomes too much to handle, players can set off a bomb which sends all active ghosts back to the center of each maze.
Pac-Man Championship Edition DX is available on Xbox Live Arcade for 800 Microsoft Points.
