    The wait is over, friends. Pac-Man Championship Edition DX is here and it's positively insane. If you've yet to witness it in action, be sure to watch this week's XBLA in Brief. Apart from Namco's latest, we also get Alien Breed 3: Descent, which brings the episodic series to an end (along with a lot of alien critters). Both games are 800 MS Points ($10).

    It's an XBLA triple header this week, with three wildly disparate games hitting the service. On the casual front, we have The UnderGarden, a relaxing pseudo-puzzler. On the hardcore front, there's Guwange, a Japanese arcade shooter from 1999. On the ... fairy front, we've got Faery: Legends of Avalon, a light RPG. Watch the latest XBLA in Brief and see if any of them set your heart aflutter. [iTunes] Subscribe to XBLA in Brief directly in iTunes. [Zune] Subscribe to the XBLA in Brief directly.

    Super Meat Boy might be the highlight of this week's XBLA releases (you should read our review!), but that doesn't mean it's the only release.

    This week's XBLA in Brief takes a look at Dead Space Ignition, an interactive motion comic that serves as a prequel to Dead Space 2. It's chock full of motion comic, mini-games and ... that's about it. On the plus side, it unlocks items in Dead Space 2 and it's only five bucks.

    XBLA is all about death this week. First up we have gruesome, deadly martial arts with Deadliest Warrior: The Game and then we have just, heroic, loot-driven murder with DeathSpank.

    So what's it gonna be this week? A strictly multiplayer first-person shooter or a strictly single-player third-person laugher? On the one hand there is Blacklight: Tango Down, an FPS that promises extensive customization player progression. On the other is Monkey Island 2: Special Edition, which comes packed with a new adventure for Guybrush Threepwood and, of course, yuks. Blacklight will set you back 1200 MS Points ($15), while Monkey Island 2 costs 800 MS Points ($10, conveniently only half as much as you should ever pay for a computer game).

    We've got a spiritual sequel and an actual sequel this week. The former is Ancients of Ooga, a successor of sorts to the ancient XBLA title, Cloning Clyde. The latter is Puzzle Quest 2, which essentially amounts to an apology about that whole Galactrix thing. Check out XBLA in Brief and see if either game is for you.

    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.

It is, by and large, Earthworm Jim, which should make old school fans happy, and undoubtedly delight the uninitiated. Check out the latest XBLA in Brief and see what the fuss is about.

    We've got two Xbox Live Arcade staples this week. First is Metal Slug XX, which has the advantage of Xbox Live online play over its XBLA cousin, Metal Slug 3. Next, we've got yet another twin-stick shooter in Aqua. As its title suggests, Aqua flavors its twin-stick shooting antics with an extra dose of H20 (and torpedoes). Metal Slug XX will run you 1200 ($15), while Aqua is 800 ($10). Watch this week's XBLA in Brief and decide if either tickles your fancy for destruction.

    Two very different games on Xbox Live Arcade this week, folks. First up, we have RayStorm HD a revamp of the classic arcade, PlayStation and Saturn shooter of yore. If you've played a shmup before, you'll be right at home. The other game, however, is an odd, odd duck. Zeno Clash: Ultimate Edition is a first-person brawler with shooting elements and one of the most bizarre, surreal art styles on XBLA. If nothing else, you should download it just to see it.

    We've got two wildly disparate games on Xbox Live Arcade this week. For the puzzle game / RPG hybrid fans, there's Puzzle Chronicles, essentially a different take on Puzzle Quest (which makes sense, as both were developed by Infinite Interactive). If you're more of an action bent, then After Burner Climax will be right up your alley. So, what's it going to be, saving the kingdom one rotating gem at a time or blasting bogeys from the sky?

    Every second you spend reading this or watching the latest XBLA in Brief is a second you aren't playing Final Fight: Double Impact. For ten measly dollars, you get two of Capcom's best classic arcade games, Final Fight and Magic Sword, spiced with a bunch of slick visual filters, remixed soundtracks and geek-out-worthy unlockables. Did we mention drop-in online co-op, too? Okay, so maybe you're on the fence. Watch the video if you need some encouragement.
