With the PlayStation Store out of action for the next two weeks, it's up to Microsoft and Nintendo to pick up where Sony left off.

　　The '90s saw a variety of Mario spin-off games come out; Dr Mario, Yoshi's Island, and Wario Land are just a few that come to mind. Slowly, but surely, Nintendo are re-releasing them via Virtual Console and this week sees the release of Yoshi's Cookie. The premise is quite simple, mix n' match different cookies into rows of the same type, which are then cleared from the screen--Tetris anyone? Yoshi's Cookie will set you back approximately 500 Wii points.

　　The sole release on Xbox Live Arcade this week is Mr. Driller. The game is really easy to pick up, all you do is, drill your way to the bottom of the level, while avoiding falling blocks and running out of air. The difference between this version and previous iterations is its addition of online play. Up to four players can battle it out in a battle-esque mode, where the best score wins, or in a tag team mode, where two players team up to beat the other pair. Mr Driller came out on Wednesday and costs 800 Microsoft Points.
