Anomaly Warzone Earth crash-landing to XBLA in 2012
One of the most popular RTS games for PC/Mac and iOS is Anomaly Warzone Earth which blends more action elements into the tower defense genre, making it more on the offensive side rather than defensive. 11 bit Studios announced that it’ll be bringing the game over to XBLA in the spring of 2012. They’ll be working on bringing the classic gameplay to the controller alongside six exclusive levels that test your skills. In addition to a story campaign, the game will also include two Squad Assault modes. Check out some screenshots after the break and keep watching the skies for more information on this upcoming space-RTS.

Joe Danger: Special Edition review (XBLA)
Joe Danger: Special Edition was developed by Hello Games and published by Microsoft. It was released on December 14, 2011 for 1200 MSP. A copy was provided for review purposes.
We saw many great XBLA titles come out last year, but there are always a few titles that get away from us on other medium. From the Pixeljunk series to Fat Princess, PSN has its share of great downloadable games. But one that stuck out the most and you couldn’t blame XBLA for being jealous of was Joe Danger. Now, a year after its release, Xbox 360 owners will finally see that lovable daredevil with Joe Danger: Special Edition.
Protagonist Joe Danger has experienced a rise and fall to his daredevil popularity. Realizing he must get back in the game, he straps on his cape and helmet and straddles his motorcycle again. Fans of Trials HD and Excitebike should take note as the game plays in the style of both classic motorcycle games. But what it represents with its influences, it completely shatters both games in terms of charm, replay value and overall fun.
