XBLA in Brief: Space Ark, Duke Nukem: Manhattan Project, Risk: Factions

Three new games this week. Three. All are 800 MS Points and all are radically different. We've got the cutesy, Breakout-esque Space Ark, some 2D action with Duke Nukem: Manhattan Project and a classic board game with some new twists in RISK: Factions. See all three after the break.

Note: Space Ark actually released last week, but we were kind of busy at the time.
