We first learned that The Simpsons Arcade would be coming home to Xbox Live Arcade back in November, but news has been scarce since then. Just recently, however Xbox360Achievements.org published the game's full Achievement list. That alone is good news because it usually means that the game will come out within the next month or two. A quick glance at the Achievements themselves reveals another interesting fact: both the English (worldwide) and Japanese versions will be included in the port.

The downloadable zombie game market is packed to the undead gills already. Does All Zombies Must Die offer something different make it worth buying?

Look, we like rainbow farting unicorns as much as the next guy, but Muffin Knight - a new game from Angry Mob Games available on iOS, Android and Mac - looks to be the real deal in terms of unicorn farting simulations.  Sure Red Faction: Armageddon might have been the first game to incorporate it, but you couldn't actually PLAY as the unicorn and fart exploding rainbows.

Is the world ready for an 8-player co-op tower defense game? That question ran through my mind when I first learned of Terrorhedron courtesy of a post at Rock, Paper, Shotgun. Tower defense may be the new match 3 among indie developers - you can't throw a rock without hitting one (the games, not the developers). But Terrorhedron brings enough fresh ideas to the table to warrant a look.

Resident Evil: Revelations will be hitting the 3DS in less than a month, and no one has a clue as to what's going on in this game.  There have been rumors of boats, ooze, terrorist attacks, and floating cities.  Today we have three videos which won't explain one damn thing, but they look cool. Enjoy.

It seems like only yesterday that a colleague of mine asked if we should delete the Ghost Recon Future Soldier PC entry, since well, we were pretty sure it was never going to happen.  I have a natural talent for deleting things (especially my own work), so I obliged him.  The very instant I hit the "OBLITERATE GAME FROM DATABASE" button I got a memo from the boss man.  We had just received a press release from Ubisoft.  GRFS  was back on for the PC, and I was saddled with painful hours of re-entering the game into the database.  I don't want to name names, but it was Paul's fault. (Don't worry Paul, we have a new new guy coming on soon. Then I can start blaming him for all my typoos.)

Are you looking to add a little Magick to your in-game life? If so, join us this Friday, January 13th at 8PM Central, for a co-op romp through the world of Magicka. If Steam didn't force-feed you this game yet, you should really consider picking it up before Friday. This $10 title earned a score of 4.5/5 and a runner-up position in our 2011 Co-Op Game of the Year Awards, so you can be sure it is well worth the purchase.

Do you know what my favorite number is?  Three, because it sounds like free!  Starhawk is an upcoming shooter that will have a 4 player co-op mode.  If that is not enough goodness for you, Senior Producer Harvard Bonin has promised loads of DLC - some of which will be free.

$15 bucks is a little steep, even for a great co-op game like Dungeon Defenders.  Have you been waiting to take the plunge?  Well all your hard work (sitting idly by and doing nothing) has paid off.  Dungeon Defenders is 800 MSP ($10) on the XBLA.  It's part of the LIVE Arcade's Deal of the Week, so you'll have until January 17th to make up your mind.

You're at the dentist's office, perusing a three-year-old copy of Highlights.  You're crushing the Hidden Pictures puzzle, easily spotting items that have yet to be circled.  Your total dominance of the children's magazine brings back memories of the previous night's Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 shellacking you took at the hands of what were clearly uncouth, cheating adolescents.  Their wicked laughter causes you to shudder, drawing stares from other waiting patients.  Hanging your head in shame, you pause for inward reflection, knowing you were bested by boorish children half you age.

Diablo has paved the way for the Action RPG genre and Blizzard is recognizing this legacy this week with the Diablo 15 year anniversary celebration. Make sure to check out the extended retrospective video that is an extensive video covering the whole story of Diablo, the evolution of the series, and the timeline up until now. The video will have fans of the series bleeding with nostalgia and if you have yet to play a Diablo game, it is a great way to catch up on the 15 years of lore that you missed.

This past weekend I packed my bags and headed south to Washington, DC to check out Magfest - a festival that celebrates videogames and videogame music.  The show has plenty of stuff for folks to do including a free play arcade with many classic cabinets (including my favorite Moon Patrol).  There's also a LAN party area, table top gaming area, and plenty of independent artists selling their wares.
