  Just in case there wasn't enough tower defence games on Xbox Live Arcade, this week sees the release of Defence Grid: The Awakening for 800 Microsoft points. There's not a whole lot more to say about this game given the amount of tower defence games out there, except that this one has a fairly impressive pedigree, since Mark Terrano, the lead designer on Age of Empires II, created it.

  Arr, me hearties, next up on Xbox Live Arcade is Yo-Ho Kablammo, which mixes pirate goodness with multidirectional shooting--think Geometry Wars meets pirates. To complement the Yo-Ho's online competitive modes, players will be able to create their own game modes and share them around to keep the multiplayer fresh. Yo-Ho Kablammo came out on Wednesday and will set you back 800 Microsoft points.

  It's another quiet week on the Nintendo front, with only one game landing across the three services, and it's worthiness of being called a "game" is questionable. Essentially, Dictionary 6 in 1 is an electronic dictionary for English, French, German, Spanish, Italian and Japanese. The interesting thing about it is that you can take a photo of a word using the DSi's camera and the software will translate it and give you the definition. f you're about to travel overseas and have a spare 800 Nintendo points handy, you might wanna check this out.

  The second bite-sized mini-game compilation aimed at kids using the Buzz! peripherals, Buzz! Monster Rumble, arrived overnight. Essentially a "lite" version of the PS2 game of the same name, Monster Jam is a collection of eight mini-games aimed at children. It's only A$8.45 and well worth a look if you're after something that will keep the kids entertained. On the other hand, the not so kid-friendly F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin got a new campaign added to it, courtesy of Monolith. Set in the same time as F.E.A.R. 2, you play as a replica soldier called FoxTrot 813 who is trying to break himself free of the clutch of his psychic commander Paxton Fettel. Check out the full list below for all the latest DLC to come
