The NBA drafts the Watchmen on XBLA
This week, we're officially jumping straight from the Summer of Arcade into the winter of our discontent with ho-hum XBLA releases.

XBLA Perfect Dark makes original look like an N64 game
Ever since it was announced that Rare's spiritual successor to GoldenEye 007 for N64, Perfect Dark, was coming to Xbox Live Arcade, we've been wondering if it would simply see a bump in resolution (which it is).

Third CoD: World at War map pack enlists one million on first weekend
In a very unsurprising turn of events, Activision has announced that the third downloadable map pack for Call of Duty: World at War was downloaded over one million times during its first weekend of availability (August 6 - 9).
