THREE this week

And they are:

Guwange - 800 MSP
Guwange is a vertical scrolling shooting game, launched in Japanese arcades in 1999. Set in the Muromachi period of Japanese history, Guwange tells the tale of the "Shikigami users", hosts to ghostly avatars called Shikigami. Unlike other CAVE shooting games, known for their fighter craft and destructive machinery, the heroes of Guwange walk across the demonic landscape on their quest to rid themselves of the Shikigami curse, cutting a swath through enemies.

Players choose from one of three characters: Shishin, Kosame and Gensuke, on a journey to slay the evil god of Mt. Gokumon, Guwange itself. Accompanying them are their Shikigami familiars: Rikiou, Yatsuhisha and Kirinmaru.

Each character has their own story, ending and dramatic touches, giving the world of Guwange a distinctive Japanese flair.Faery: Legends of Avalon - 1200 MSP
Faery: Legends of Avalon is a Role Playing / Adventure game packed with an original and unique atmosphere, and a graphics design close to illustration. The game immerses players in a fantasy world inhabited by many colourful characters and magical creatures.

In Faery: Legends of Avalon, the player plays as an elf or a fairy that will evolve during the story, through numerous quests and epic turn-based battles. Throughout the adventure, the player will customize his avatar thanks to a unique system changing not only the whole look of the character in every detail, but also its spells and special abilities.

The player will recruit various companions during his journey to assist him in his mission, and he will be given the chance to explore mythical places full of magic such as the World Tree, the famous 'Flying Dutchman' ghost ship, and many others, in order to try to understand why the Kingdom of Avalon is dying. The Undergarden - 800 MSP
Challenge your mind in the wondrous depths of The UnderGarden. Plunge into a unique new world exploring large underground caverns, encountering mysterious creatures to befriend or avoid. Solve mind-bending brainteasers and puzzles as soothing tunes accompany you on your journey through 14 distinct levels of state of the art 3D graphics. The UnderGarden offers a mental challenge and aesthetic experience like nothing else.

Guwange will probably be my new favorite XBLA title, as long as the port is faithful to the arcade version.

Going by previous experience those Cave shooters are pretty hardcore, extremely difficult. Surprised to see them appear on Live Arcade.

They have started releasing games weekly again, and even though they are a pile of shit, it means it's still alive. As for getting the releases beforehand... Yeah, that feature is as dead as Duke Nukam Forever.

Oh wait, that joke doesn't work any more. facepalm

The shmup sounds interesting, but I don't think it'll be enough to capture my MSP at this time (Gotta save for the Christmas specials).

I have never heard of the second game in my life, but I read RPG somewhere in the description, so it shall be mine. Course, when I get caught up enough to play it is anyone's guess.
