We have a double release of Xbox Live Arcade games this week. It seem that the days of going through a week with no releases are finally gone and rather we seem to be moving to multiple releases being the norm.

First up we have a release from Square Enix teaming up with PopCap, and it is not a Japanese RPG. Gyromancer (1200 MSP) is a monster catching puzzle game in the same vein as Puzzle Quest. With the addictiveness of PopCap games combined with the production values of Square Enix, this might just be one to look out for, especially if you fall into the obsessive “must collect them all” category of players.

Secondly we have Diner Dash (800 MSP). It’s still the classic game that made the rounds as a flash game a few years back and caused many hours lost in the office, now with updated 3D graphics. Help Flo the waitress serve tables in a diner, keeping track of orders, patrons and seating arrangements. It is what every student needs to prepare them for the summer part-time job.
