Another day, another batch of games shipped to stores. Instead of giving them all their own posts, we grouped them, and so far there are announcements for:


We will update this throughout the day when new announcements become available. Read more for details ...

Gatling Gears (XBLA)

Gatling Gears is a classic, top-down shooter that drops players into visually stunning environments and adrenaline-pumping gameplay. It's up to gamers to take on the role of Max Brawley and suit up in his Gatling Gear mech to embark on an epic mission through 30 unique areas to save the planet and defeat the Empire in full online or offline co-op modes. Though you're fighting together for the greater cause, you'll compete for score and leaderboard prowess as you battle to collect the gears left behind by the foes you've turned into scrap metal. Each gear will bring you closer to earning cool upgrades for your Gatling Gear mech.

Still hungry for more? Test your ability to stay alive with Survival mode, an arena-based battle where you go head-to-head with enemy forces in 10 rounds of pure chaos. Complete your objective with or without a friend by bobbing and weaving through thousands of bullets from enemy tanks and soldiers and dodge or maneuver out of the way of homing missiles, flame-throwers and cluster bombs, while protecting a core natural resource.

Gatling Gears is available on Xbox Live Arcade for 1200 Microsoft Points.

Star Raiders (XBLA/PC)

Originally introduced in 1979, Star Raiders blazed an all new trail, becoming the first ever first-person space combat title. The game inspired several generations of "space combat simulation" titles throughout the '80s and '90s. The exciting new take on this Atari treasure pays tribute to the original while ushering in an all new, captivating episodic experience. The game offers familiar battle elements including space warps and galactic tactical maps with all new features like radical battle transformations and customizable ships.

Star Raiders is available on the Xbox 360 and Windows PC via Steam for 800 Microsoft Points/$9.99.
