Some games just get better with 3D, or at least that's what Korean developer, Barunson Interactive hopes. The team has announced that they are currently developing a 3D update of Double Dragon II: The Revenge, for Xbox Live Arcade, known now as Double Dragon II: Wander of the Dragons.
One stand-out title buoys this collection of rehashes and spin-offs.
While Pac-Man & Galaga Dimensions is a brand new game, it’s comprised mostly of existing titles. Both the original Pac-Man and Galaga make their appearance alongside their modern revivals, Pac-Man Championship Edition and Galaga Legions.

Four of those characters were officially revealed: Strider Hiryu and Firebrand from the Capcom side and Ghost Rider and Hawkeye from Marvel. As it turns out, some readers of the Capcom website managed to stumble on the remaining eight characters and grabbed their corresponding character art.

What's pink, has a bow, and blows? Ms. 'Splosion Man!
A follow-up to the 2009 'Splosion Man, Ms. 'Splosion Man is a simple 2D platformer with high speed and puzzle elements. The titular missus can explode up to three times before landing on the ground, resting against a wall, or detonating with a bomb to recharge, propelling herself through the game's frantic point-A-to-point-B-style levels.
