Written by N0T PENNYS B0AT on 15 October 12 at 18:03 , updated on 15 October 12 at 18:03

Edit: We have a surprise North America only release this week too:

Intel Discovered
Developer: Wahoo Studios
Publisher: Microsoft Studios
Price: FREEDo you have what it takes to be a superstar? Get schooled by Chris Evans on the secrets of the action hero. Get styled and learn how to work the runway with Chanel Iman. Rock the party with Redfoo of LMFAO. Live video play puts you in the action: punch, jab, kick, jump — pose, smile — surf the crowd. Pass these celebrity tests and you’ll be slated for stardom. Share the custom movie poster of you and Evans, and your magazine cover shot, with your friends.


Original Story

Xbox LIVE Arcade has been nearly as busy as the retail market over the past few weeks, and this week is no different. A pair of formerly PC-only titles are due on Wednesday and there's also one more title arriving from outer space on Friday.

Serious Sam 3: BFE
Developer: Croteam
Publisher: Devolver Digital
Price: 1200 MSPSerious Sam 3: BFE is a glorious throwback to the golden age of first-person shooters where men were men, cover was for amateurs, and pulling the trigger made things go boom. Brutally fast-paced action, massive shootouts, and thrilling cooperative play make for the most explosive Serious Sam game ever! Contains the full single-player and cooperative campaign modes.


Zombie Driver HD
Developer: EXOR Studios
Publisher: CyberFront
Price: TBAInsane mix of cars, speed, explosions, blood and zombies! Fight through an epic narrative campaign or test yourself in the Slaughter and Blood Race modes. Engage huge bosses, save survivors, drive crazy vehicles such as a bulldozer, fire truck or even a tank and smash everything in your way. Take part in the Blood Race tournament - chase other cars and take them down without mercy on brutal racing tracks. Jump into the Slaughter mode and survive as long as possible on specially crafted arenas.Alien Spidy -- Releasing on October 19th
Developer: Enigma Software
Publisher: Kalypso Media
Price: TBAAfter losing contact with his explorer friend Virgi, our fearless alien hero Spidy heads to Earth in his spacecraft to find her. While entering the Earth’s atmosphere, his spacecraft suddenly fails and starts to break up, causing Spidy to crash-land on the strange planet, with his craft scattered across forests, throughout ponds and into dark caves. Spidy finds himself alone on an alien world and faces the epic challenge of tracking down Virgi, battling strange new enemies and finding the missing pieces from his spacecraft in order to repair the damage and make their escape home.

Still waiting to here if Zombie Driver is going to qualify for the Live Rewards October promotion, but I could see myself getting that and Serious Sam 3.

Edit: Forgot to ask, but for Serious Sam 3, I remember hearing the multiplayer was going to be charged separately. So that's not going to come out until a later date then?

Can someone please shoot me a message on XBL if they know when WWE Wrestlefest is supposed to come out? It's the only arcade game I'm looking forward to at this point.

SoiledDoughnut - So they've added a limited time only variation of TDM to Black Ops 2 where you get 150 pts per kill instead of 100 pts.

I tried The First Encounter a while back and actually liked it. However, after completing the game and netting 1 single achievement, I was more than agitated. I guess beating a level from the start of that level does not matter if it wasn't a continuation from your previous game. There now we're all confused. In other words, still can't get over that one so no new sam.

All 3 games sound pretty interesting, I'll have to try them.
MH The Rockstar - Finally got around to watching The Avengers (I know, only a year or so late). Thoroughly enjoyed it.

Zombie Driver will get the trial treatment to see how it stacks up versus the PC version I have. Might purchase if the price is right (or wait for a dotw).
Ha ha, Charade you are!

Serious Sam 3: BFE launch with sp and co-op, but the multiplayer is 1200msp dlc. It's not needed for 100% completion tho. That said, i'm looking forward to this game. Will trial'd other two.

Swap a few words around and Alien Spidy turns into ToeJam and Earl.
Been on my mind since reading the other news story...
