I could smack the crap out of somebody right about now.
So, as you all know by now, I love me some Perfect Dark. As you might expect, with its re-release occurring today on XBLA, I was quick to purchase one of my all-time favorite games.
The second downloadable episode of Resident Evil 5 proves to be far more action-driven and enjoyable.
The second piece of DLC comprising Capcom's Gold Edition of Resident Evil 5, Desperate Escape, features Jill Valentine and Josh Stone. The episode fits into the main story just as Lost in Nightmares did, but is a bit more interwoven. Players start off directly after Jill is saved in the mainline quest, and Chris and Sheva depart. Josh finds Jill, and the two proceed to escape the compound in which they are trapped. This escape makes for a decently fun play experience that is much heavier on the action than its DLC predecessor.
In addition to announcing the release date, Sony announces retailer exclusive pre-order bonuses.

This week's Nintendo Download features a total of seven new titles across the three different services.
Can Max and his Magic Marker draw their way into your heart?
Playing Max and the Magic Marker, I've found, is both an act of joy and frustration. It's a unique, colorful title, with its own imaginary world where the hero, Max, of course, dashes through to chase and defeat "the monster" Max accidentally created with his magic marker. The title focuses on physics-based puzzle-solving and platforming, though there's a little bit of exploration in the mix.
Cheap and addictive arcade fun.
When it comes to titles priced at 200 Nintendo DSi Points ($2) on the DSi Shop most of them are either simple applications or recycled content from existing retail titles. It’s rare to see any new, unique games on the DSi Shop in that pricing bracket that are also fun and engaging. Thankfully Nintendo's latest DSiWare title, Aura-Aura Climber is quite possibly the best $2 game on the service.
Can the sequel possibly live up to the original?
As most gamers know first-hand at this point, Portal was an absolutely fantastic game. It combined a great new mechanic with innovative puzzles, a strong story, charm and an extremely strong main character. The magic of Portal didn't lie in just one of the elements, each and every part of the game played into why it was so enjoyable. This, in essence, is why I am worried about Portal 2.
