Atari has announced that The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings is being adapted for the Xbox 360 and will be released in Quarter 4.
According to the publisher, the Xbox 360 version will be an enhanced adaptation of the PC game, incorporating numerous improvements and enhancements.
Having just completed one of the best RPGs I have played in a very long time in the form of The Witcher 2, I was keen to get into something a bit more casual, and to set myself up with a nice big appetite for the powerhouse that is Diablo 3 in the near future. Too bad that Dungeons and Dragons: Daggerdale does neither of what I had hoped.

Atari has released a new downloadable content challenge pack for Ghostbusters: Sanctum of Slime.
The Challenge Pack promises to bring “hours of a new single player experience” with two new game modes, Lonely Hero and Arcade Challenge. The new add-on content is available now on Xbox LIVE Arcade and Steam for 160 MS Points.
Now that Xbox LIVE Marketplace is fully functional and not “acting up” anymore, you’re now very welcome to browse the list of Xbox LIVE Arcade games on the service (both via your Xbox 360 and Xbox.com) and make your way over to the ‘D’ section of the available offerings.
What brand new XBLA game will you find there? Why, Dungeons & Dragons: Daggerdale from Atari, of course!
Skip and jump a little ways below to find out most everything you need to know about Daggerdale, with screenshots, a trailer, pricing information and an official description:
In an open letter released today on behalf of publisher Atari and developer Eden Games, the Test Drive Unlimited 2 development team has sincerely apologised for the raft of issues that gamers have been experiencing with the open-world racing title, and have assured us that “significant progress” has been made to address these issues with upcoming patches.
Well, the word ‘apologise’ doesn’t feature in the letter, but you get the drift:
With the release of Atari and Eden Games’ Test Drive Unlimited 2 in the US today (and later this week around the world), two new informative developer diaries have been released discussing a few of the many features that have been squeezed into this ambitious racer.
Included in the conversations is information on Test Drive Unlimited 2’s social features, such as the ability to customise your home and hang out with friends online) and the game’s attention to detail, like the realistic day/night and weather cycles.
Test Drive Unlimited 2 is an ambitious game for sure, but if Eden has managed to pull everything together successfully it could just be magnificent. Get those new developer diaries, as well as two new gameplay videos and the fantastic launch trailer a little ways below:
Atari has gone and announced a release date for its upcoming downloadable Ghostbusters game for PlayStation Network, Xbox LIVE Arcade and PC, Ghostbusters: Sanctum of Slime.
We’ve also managed to find a new trailer revealing a few of the environments you and three of your friends will be running around in (and some of the nasties you’ll be busting) over the course of this cooperative isometric action shooter.
February will see the release of Atari and Eden Games’ highly ambitious ‘massively open online racing’ game, Test Drive Unlimited 2, and the pair hope to deliver a title that effortlessly simulates not only the feel of racing, but the lifestyle of living on an exotic island while socialising with other online players, while customising your avatar and in-game home, experiencing the realistic weather systems and car damage, and progressing through the game’s story.
Test Drive Unlimited 2 will also feature extensive car customisation capabilities, allowing you to make your vehicles your own by changing basically every visual aspect, from the body colour and decals to the car’s interior, too.
Some of the customisation possibilities in Test Drive Unlimited 2 are admirably showcased in a new trailer, which we’ve included for you below:
Atari has announced that the publisher’s big game for February, Test Drive Unlimited 2, has gone gold and is one hundred percent complete, which means the title is ready for its US release on February 8th, and its European, UK and South African release on February 11th.
To celebrate going gold, Atari has released a batch of new screenshots showing off the game’s amazing visuals, and you can also watch the first ten minutes of this ambitious open-world racing game below:
Atari and Eden Studios’ next open-world racing and lifestyle game, Test Drive Unlimited 2, is set and ready for release early next month, on February 8th in North America and February 11th in Europe and the UK, which is when videogame racing fans will be able to immerse themselves in what is being called a Massively Open Online Racing game, or ‘M.O.O.R.’
Following the reveal late last week courtesy of USA Today, Atari has gone and officially announced the downloadable title, Ghostbusters: Sanctum of Slime, for Xbox 360 via Xbox LIVE Arcade, the PlayStation 3 via the PlayStation Network, and the PC via download.
Ghostbusters: Sanctum of Slime is a four-player cooperative action title played from a top-down perspective that lets you take on the role of a paranormal investigating (and zapping) Ghostbuster. This time, you’ll be playing as a rookie hired by the Ghostbusters crew to save New York City “from a disaster of ghoulish proportions.”
Again?!
The fearless poltergeist-destroying, PKE Meter-reading squad of Ghostbusters are set to return to the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC in mid-2011, when Atari, Sony and Wanako’s Ghostbusters: Sanctum of Slime releases as a downloadable title over the platforms’ respective methods of digital distribution.
Atari is bringing its classic arcade shooter, Yars’ Revenge, back in early 2011. The best-selling Atari 2600 game will be coming to Xbox LIVE Arcade, the PlayStation Network and PC in Quarter 1 next year, with Killspace Entertainment handling development duties.
Last week, an excellent-looking Xbox LIVE Arcade title by the name of The Undergarden was released through Xbox 360’s LIVE Marketplace.
