  One of the forgotten genres in recent years has been point-and-click adventure games. Thanks to TikGames, Xbox Live Arcade users wanting to get their dose of the almost forgotten genre can do so with Interpol: The Trail of Dr. Chaos. You take on the role of an Interpol agent who is tasked with repairing the damage that Dr. Chaos leaves in his wake. You'll travel the globe solving puzzles before eventually taking down the practitioner of evil. Interpol: The Trail of Dr. Chaos is out on XBLA for 800 Microsoft Points.

  Continuing to use the PlayStation Network Store as a delivery platform for the PSP, Eidos' Free Running and Empire Imperative's Flatout Head On are now available to purchase on the PSN for A$29.95 ($21.21) and A$19.95 ($14.13) respectively. On the downloadable-content front, the Faction Elite pack for Tom Clancy's EndWar is now available for A$6.95. Unlike the Escalation pack for EndWar, Faction Elite doesn't add in any new missions, just a new Special Forces battalion for each of the three factions. The other game to receive additional content on the PSN this week was Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm, which adds in one new level and a new backup character called Anko. The new level and character for UNS are free.

  Guitar Hero World Tour's releases this week combine a variety of genres to make one interesting mix of songs. Ranging from the country duo Brooks and Dunn's "Hillbilly Deluxe," to Sweden's punk-rock band Backyard Babies, this week's GHWT DLC is truly an odd mix. Other tracks include "Johnny" by Di-Rect, Rascal Flatts' "Me and My Gang," Backyard Babies' "Degenerated," Fito y Fitipaldis' "Por La Boca Vive," and Brad Paisley's "Ticks." Harmonix's Rock Band is starting the year off a little bit quieter compared to GHWT, releasing only four tracks: "Take Back the City" by Snow Patrol, "Space Truckin'" by Deep Purple, "Hymn 43" by Jethro Tull, and "Funk #49" by James Gang. As per usual, all of Rock Band's tracks are selling for A$2.45 ($1.73), whereas the GHWT tracks are slightly higher at A$3.45 ($2.44) each.

  Taking a page out of the PSN's book, Nintendo is also having a fairly slow week, with only two new games going up on the Virtual Console. The first game, which originally came out in 1996, is Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!, in which you take on the role of Dixie Kong as she searches for Donkey and Diddy Kong, who got lost on a fishing trip. The other game released this week is Sega's arcade motorcycle game Enduro Racer. Both games are out now, with Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble selling for 500 Wii Points and Enduro Racer going for 600 Wii Points.
