Happy New Year! I hope everyone had a great holiday, I know I sure did. I spent last week in Cabo. I won't bore you with my tales of debauchery but I will let you know that there was plenty of drinking and a Nacho Libre mask was involved. On to this week's downloadable games.
This week 360 gamers have the opportunity to download "Interpol: The Trail of Dr. Chaos", which looks like the love child of Carmen San Diego and Where's Waldo? For 800MS, it could all be yours this Wednesday. Starting today, Wii gamers can download "Sandy Beach" (500 Wii Points) which allows you to build...you guessed it, virtual sand castles and "Kirby's Dream Land 3" (800 Wii Points). I didn't even know there was a Kirby Dream Land 2.
But what about PS3 gamers, what do they get? The usual, nothing. Looks like 2009 isn't looking any better for the poor PS3 than 2008 did. Hit the jump for all the details on this week's releases.
