Yuke's and High Voltage Software must have read some of the frustration with the lack of screenshots for their upcoming WiiWare game Evasive Space, because today they've released over 100 new screenshots for the game.

The screenshots show off the first 2 acts of the game, having the player fly through several lava landscapes, floating through a Nebula, and through a futuristic maze. It's looking very nice, and appears to control similarly to Geometry Wars Galaxies, but with the level design style of Shred Nebula.

Evasive Space is set to release in January 2009, and will retail for 1,000 Wii Points. You can check out all the new screenshots here.

Hoo boy, what a week. Today starts a bright new day in the Xbox's future - the New Xbox Experience is live. And with that comes the XNA Community Games - in one day 30 new titles are now available for download, and that number continues to climb every day.

It's almost overbearing, so to help we at GamerBytes have created an in-depth guide to everything Community Games. What games are available, how to download them, and what we think are the best new titles available.

Not to say the other consoles didn't miss out - Age of Booty is now available on the PlayStation Network, and RealNetwork's new WiiWare title Tiki Towers looks very interesting too.

RealNetworks Announce Tiki Towers - Bridge Building With Monkeys!
Can't get enough bridge building with World Of Goo? Well RealNetworks next title Tiki Towers is going to kick things up a notch. Build bridges for your monkeys to cross while taking care of the evil

RealNetworks has revealed their latest title Tiki Towers for WiiWare - a game about construction, destruction, problem solving, and monkeys!

In a similar vein to the recently released World Of Goo, Tiki Towers has players building bridges to reach goals - but with a few twists. You must work with your monkey friends to build towers out of native materials such as bamboo poles, coconuts, and vines, as well as battle enemy chieftains who are bent on destroying your creations.

Monkeys can also be given special abilities similar to Lemmings, where they can chant for "BananaMana" to cast counter-attack spells against the chiefs.

The game will support single player and a two-player cooperative mode. The game is set to be released on December 8th - and will also be released on iPhone and Java Phones on the same date. The Java phone version, in video here, looks to be a lot closer to World Of Goo, and also looks like a lot of fun.

The game is being developed by Republic of Fun, and going by their blurry screenshots may also have some other downloadable games in the works as well.

You can check out a ton of new screenshots of the game here. Be on the lookout for more information in the few weeks before it launches - it could be something to look forward to.

High Voltage Software, one of WiiWare's most popular and most active developers, have announced a joint venture with Yuke's Company Of America to bring a new game titles Evasive Space to the platform.

Coming this January, Evasive Space has you piloting a rocket ship through 20 missions spanning 5 different environments. It's a top-down shooter that also uses your Wii Remote extensively. Right now it's sounding like a mix of Geometry Wars Galaxies and Shred Nebula on Xbox Live Arcade.

The game will also support 4 player multiplayer locally, and have online leader boards for players to go for their best times. Yuke's previously worked on Double D dodgeball for Xbox Live Arcade, and have also announced BPM Racing for WiiWare as well.

Like BPM Racing unfortunately, there were no screenshots released with this announcement. High Voltage Software have a fairly good track record, but we are also still waiting for any news on their other projects - Animales de la Muerte, Hot Rod Show, and a European release of Gyrostarr.

Target Toss Pro: Bags

Wii Points: 700
Game Type: Sports
Control Type: Wii Remote
Players: 1-16
Publisher: Incredible Technologies

"Target Toss Pro: Bags is a new video game based on beanbag toss-the nation's hottest backyard and tailgate sensation. Bags, or Cornhole as they call it in some parts of the country, originated in the Midwest in the 1960s and has since become a staple at outdoor social events from coast to coast. Bags is a deceptively simple, yet extremely competitive game where players try to toss beanbags into a hole in a slightly raised platform or "box" for points, similar to horseshoes. Whether at a tailgate party or a summer barbeque, the game has become a social focal point, and the unmistakable thud of bags hitting the box is now a universal party sound track."

With the holiday season coming up, it appears that the ESRB have decided to become more forward with their rating system. Now on their website, games that require descriptors will now have a summary about the game as well as anything that may offend in the game.

While this is all good for the mothers out there, it has also allowed us to look a little deeper on those games that have been rated, but don't know much about. Games that haven't even been announced have gotten their own summary too.

For instance, The Incredible Machine for XBLA was rated and suggests that the unnannounced game will be working in a 3D plane, while the original was only on a 2D plane. WiiWare title Jungle Speed is apparently able to work with up to 8 people, suggesting online play, and Tiki Towers is a game that allows you to build structures with monkey helpers.

Below is a good list of all the ones I could find that had something interesting added to them. Thanks to Shard for pointing some of these out to me.

No new Xbox Live Arcade releases this week, no PlayStation Network releases last week, and a variety of quality for WiiWare worldwide makes for an odd selection of titles. I can't blame them though - with Gears of War 2, Mirrors Edge, Fallout 3, Call of Duty: World At War, Banjo Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts and more games that have come out in this past week, who really would release a new game now?

World Of Goo Now Bound For WiiWare In Europe
Originally only getting a retail Wii release, World Of Goo is now hitting WiiWare in Europe.

2D Boy, the developers' behind World Of Goo for WiiWare, have announced that the game will now be coming out in European countries.

The game was initially going to be only for WiiWare in North America, while their distributing partner RTL Games deciding to go retail for Europe. It appears that they've now changed their minds, and the game will now also be on WiiWare in Europe.

On their website, 2D boy posted a small Q&A with themselves for the European version:

Q: How much will world of goo cost on WiiWare in Europe?
A: Most likely the same as in the Americas: 1500 points.

Q: Will the pc version be available in Europe too?
A: Yes, at the same time as the retail release, hopefully late December. it will cost 19.99 euros and will be available in retail stores (to be announced), through Steam and other digital downloads services, and on amazon.de (an incorrect price is currently listed).

Q: Will there be an extra chapter for europe?
A: No. everyone will get the same version of the game.

It will be interesting to see if World of Goo will still see a retail release as well with the previously mentioned extra chapter. Time will tell.
