[We round up the top console digital download news of the last week from GamerBytes, including brand-new game announcements and scoops from the world of Xbox Live Arcade, PlayStation Network, WiiWare, PSP Minis and DSiWare.]
This week has been all about the two extremes - the casual and the hardcore. On one hand, you have games like
Tower Bloxx Deluxe, Picture Books, and
Domo minigames, while on the other you have
Panzer Generals, Trine,
Lost Winds and the
Oddworld series. If you're in either of those camps, you'll be pretty happy with this week's offerings.
This week has also been a fairly big week for Xbox Live Indie Games - a lot of good, quality games have been released. So if you're one of those fellows who never wanders into those waters, we've got a handy guide or two for you to look at.
Here are the highlights for the last seven days:
