We finished watching Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1, and it was quite good. Looking forward to seeing the conclusion since we never read the books — just too many of them. In the "better late than never" category, we checked out Torchwood, a Dr. Who spin-off, which has just started its fourth season and moved from its original UK setting to the US. It's weird, but we enjoyed our introduction to the series.

Less positive is the fact that Netflix is raising its prices by up to 60%, but they fail to mention that. Instead, they cleverly worded it to say that it gives customers "more options."

In other news, I got three new pairs of socks ....

Ace Combat: Assault Horizon is not a sequel, but a complete rebirth, a phoenix from the ashes flying at three times the speed of sound built from the ground up, with new technology fueling a passionately realized vision of a game that puts players in the dark heart of the fight like no aerial combat game has done before.

Pirates of New Horizons is a singleplayer action adventure game mixing platformer elements with puzzles and skill-based combat, in which the player takes control of the young space pirate Annha, who travels the void on her search for hidden treasures.

In Solatorobo: Red the Hunter you enter a world of epic fantasy action in an RPG set on the mythical floating islands of the Shepherd Republic. Take on the story of Red Savarin, an anthropomorphic dog with the ability to take a human form, battle giant robotic mecha and other enemies as you explore the floating islands.

Tribes: Ascend, developed using the Unreal 3 engine, is being positioned as the multi-player successor to the much lauded Tribes 2 and a re-introduction of the franchise to the gaming world.

Trinity 2 is a 3D side-scrolling online action RPG that combines dynamic action with a vibrant, finely-detailed high-tech and fantasy hybrid theme.

Rise of Nightmares offers a spine-tingling horror experience which uses the innovative new controls of Kinect to give players new encounters filled with fearful anticipation and terror.

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:

• Boulder Dash-XL (XBLA)
• Ms. Splosion Man (XBLA)
• Section 8: Prejudice - Frontier Colonies Map Pack (XBLA)
• Warhammer 40,000: Kill Team (XBLA)

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