Puzzle Quest 2 is looking great, I'd say it already looks better than Puzzle Chronicles, which Infinite Interactive developed but hasn't been released yet. Artistically it's better than anything Infinite have released, that's for sure.

I played the original game on the DS, so I'll be interested to see how if this one will work me over on a digital platform, heck I still need to go back and finish Gyromancer.

What say you reader? Ready for more Puzzle Quest? Do you have 30+ hours to kill on your console?

Independent developer and publisher, IllFonic, have announced that they plan to bring PC shooter Nexuiz to consoles.

Nexuiz has been an open source project on the PC which startd in 2005, and was based on a heavily altered Quake 1 engine, which was available through GNU licensing. The game has made tremendous strides since its release from the original developer Alientrap Software, now IllFonic plan to bring it to consoles. Their plans seem similar to that of Babo: Invasion on Xbox Live Arcade last year, but Nexuiz will be coming to both XBLA and PSN.

This new version will contain a new art direction for the series but will keep the same fast paced style of the PC game. It now joins a very large list of upcoming shooters on XBLA - which already includes Monday Night Combat, Lead & Gold, Quake Arena Arcade, DOOM II and Blacklight: Tango Down just to name a few. Will this hold up against the competition, or fall on its face like Cellfactor did?

[GamerBytes editor Ryan Langley examines February 2010's PlayStation Network debuts and continuing successes, with charts and leaderboard data, to find out what digital PSN titles are doing well at the start of the year.]

Back in 2008 February was the launching pad for several big titles - Flower, Noby Noby Boy and NHL 3-On-3 Arcade, but this year it's very quiet - Greed Corp and Fret Nice.

Can either of them stand up against last years titles, and how are older titles doing right now? We take a look at the PlayStation Network Top 10 for North America as well as Leaderboard statistics for a selection of popular titles to see how well games are selling on the service.

Popular PSN publisher Creat Games have revealed their latest addition to the PlayStation Network library - Wakeboarding HD, bringing the water sport into the next generation.

We've seen the opening scene of Shank over and over now, but now Klei have saved us with footage of some of the later levels, and a new boss encounter.

It's still some ways away from being finished, but it's still looks pretty sweet. This versus The Dishwasher 2 is going to be pretty hardcore fight at the year's end.

The news may have leaked out a little early, but now it's confirmed -- Sam & Max: The Devil's Playhouse will be coming to the PlayStation Network, and it's coming very soon.

Starting April 15th you'll be able to buy the first episode of the third Sam & Max season on PSN, or you'll be able to pre-order the full season for a slightly cheaper fee. This has worked previously on the PC via Telltale's website, but now Telltale are able to continue with this on consoles. I'm sure they wish they could have done the same for the Wallace & Gromit series on the Xbox Live Arcade.

The season will start April 15th, but in the meantime check out this Quick Look from Giant Bomb.

Earlier last week we pointed you to some off-screen video of Clash Of Heroes, now we've got the official trailer to gander at.

Art wise the game has taken a huge overhaul to the original DS game, and the influence of Critter Crunch's HD artwork is clearly seen. Let's hope the game will get the recognition it should on these digital platforms.

A quality week for European PS3 and PSP owners - you can now buy Mega Man 10 for £7.99 / €9.99, and the new Minis title for Rocket Racing for £3.99 / €4.99.

Outside of that we have the Minis version of Ice Road Truckers, and 4 PSOne classics I don't think anyone has ever heard of before. Check them all out below.

Might & Magic: Clash Of Heroes was a sleeper hit on the DS last year - few people knew about its existance until it was released, but the game ended up winning a ton of awards for the best DS strategy game for 2009. Now developer Capybara have announced the game will be making its way to both the Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network with a complete high-definition re-haul.

Clash of Heroes is a puzzle game mixed with RPG elements - similar to that of Puzzle Quest, but instead takes on a more original puzzle concept. You have an army of characters at the bottom of the screen that must fight against those on the top - but they only get sent across if you've got 3 or more lined up for battle. It's a great concept that worked well on the DS, and seems to continue to work well here.

The game will get entirely redrawn in high definition and feature some additional elements and they've fixed some problems with the original. The game will also expand on the multiplayer element of the original, now including cooperative modes.

You can check out some more screenshots and video over at the IGN link below.

GameTrailers have a bunch of new footage of Blade Kitten, the upcoming platformer from Australia's Krome Studios. The above video is an interview with Steve Stamatiadis, Creative Director and head of the project.

Looks good, should be out soon.

Lucasarts, via their Twitter, have announced that Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge will be coming to the Xbox Live Arcade with a new Special Edition.

The game will be completely redrawn like the original, will include a voice acting - this time available on both Classic and HD visual settings, and will finally fix Guybrush's hair.

The game will also be expanded upon from the original, and will include new puzzles and new enemies - so they're getting a bit more ambitious with this version.

The original game will also be coming to the PlayStation Network soon, and LeChuck's Revenge will also pop up at a later date.

In the meantime, check this artwork out!
