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:

• MicroBot (PSN/XBLA)

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

Isaac Clarke returns for another heart-pounding adventure, taking the fight to the Necromorphs in this thrilling action-horror experience. Dead Space 2 will get an animated feature, Dead Space Aftermath, and a graphic novel, Dead Space Salvage, as part of the game's pre-launch campaign.

In Lord of Arcana players are plunged into the dark depths of the underworld to fight vast and powerful creatures of legend in their quest to obtain the power of Arcana. Combat is simple yet rewarding, brutal moves can be performed simply and swiftly as you take on a huge variety of stunning and fantastical monsters.

The Burnout hasn't seen many installments on Nintendo's consoles, only Burnout 2 and Burnout Legends, but Criterion was about to change that according to EA's Outsourcing Manager Paul Dibden. Burnout Freestyle was never officially announced, but it is now classified as "Unpublished," another term for canceled. Similarities to Rockstar's Chinatown Wars are obvious, not only in appearance and touch controls, but also the presence of mini-games.

Mass Effect is a sci-fi adventure set in a vast universe filled with dangerous alien life forms and mysterious uncharted planets. In ME2, Saren's evil army of Geth soldiers has just been defeated, and humans are now faced with an even greater peril.

APOX is a real-time strategy game set in a near post-apocalyptic, Mad-Max-esque universe that uniquely includes gameplay concepts from first-person shooters.

Well, that's that with that. The holidays are over, so it's back to the grind.

Things will probably be quiet for a little bit longer, but normal coverage will now resume. Hope you have enjoyed our Top Games of 2010 feature, and we are currently also having a DC Universe Online beta key giveaway (for both PC and PS3 codes), which will be ending soon. Be sure to have a go at it.

Yesterday was pretty subdued. We ran some errands and watched TV for the rest of the day. We got sucked into the Pillars of the Earth miniseries and two of the Millennium Trilogy movies.

Introducing a new storyline and the next generation of Pokémon, the new releases will feature the Legendary Pokémon Reshiram (Pokémon Black Version) and Zekrom (Pokémon White Version) on the game covers worldwide.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat unfolds shortly after the end of S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl. Having discovered about the open path to the Zone center, the government decides to hold a large-scale military "Fairway" operation aimed to take the CNPP under control.

The New Year has begun!  We had a relaxing NYE, no craziness, and yesterday we spent most of our time watching movies (Predator, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince) and a few episodes of Supernatural.

Today will be equally quiet, apart from doing some grocery shopping, we have nothing planned, so we'll have done quite a bit of catching up on our DVR over the past few days. Go us!

We've been debating about upgrading our phones and switching to the iPhone, but we've been waiting for Verizon to announce their version. However, my current cell was getting on my last nerve (battery kept dying after 1-2 calls or text messages) and on our way back from the movies earlier this week, we decided to get it over with and we got ourselves a pair of Droid 2 phones. We picked that one over the Droid X because it works internationally, and now we get to play Angry Birds wherever we go!
