It's hardly an infinite delay (ha!) but some of you might be slightly disappointed to learn that Bioshock Infinite – the much-anticipated and true follow-up to the original Bioshock – will miss its previously announced October release date and instead arrive in February 2013. Still, that's not the only bit of news that people might be a bit peeved about…

Don't be fooled by the name or the developer; lip service aside, Fable Heroes has as much to do with the Fable series as McDonalds has to do with healthy eating and is just as unfulfilling. Martin Mathers tries hard to enjoy his time in this new take on Albion, but ends up feeling as empty as a Hollow Man's skull…

Can a raging barbarian born in pain and blood really follow last week's stellar performance by Trials Evolution? James Wright would love to say yes but… well, he can't. And why? Because despite its gorgeous visuals, Bloodforge isn't the awesome slash-'em-up it appears to be…

Yet another of Microsoft's Xbox Live Arcade promotions is underway, with the long-awaited Trials Evolution finally being made available for download.

Seems like Microsoft's going all out to make sure that people know the Xbox 360 is now all about entertainment, rather than just gaming – this weekend sees a slew of video and music apps becoming available for all Xbox Live users, not just those who subscribe to Gold. That means free online multiplayer too, right? Er, no… actually, it doesn't. Sorry.

Five years in the making and multiple indie awards later, Fez is finally on Xbox Live Arcade… but has it been worth the wait? Martin Mathers wraps his head around the dimension-bending puzzler and feels all the smarter for it.

A back-to-front tower defence game where you're the attacker, not the attackee? Sounds odd, but it actually works. Brian Ashford joins the convoy and causes more than a little destruction along the way...

Long sitting on our most-wanted list of Xbox Live Arcade games, the indie-developed fighter that is Skullgirls finally lands on XBLA today along with The Splatters, which is as messy as the name suggests. Plus, Kinectimals on Games On Demand, new Mass Effect 3 DLC and pointless discounts on really old Call Of Duty stuff. Er… great!

Big hair, high fives and baseball bat-related violence – it can only be a reboot of the classic Double Dragon franchise and it's coming to Xbox Live Arcade thanks to developer WayForward. Because, you know, you can never have enough bro-on-bro violence, bro.

What, you don't know how pinball works? Fine - have another Demo'd video showing you exactly what Pinball Arcade is like. Don't say we didn't warn you though… it's pinball and it's shiny, what more did you expect?

It's a bit of a weird update to Xbox Live Arcade today, since it's hard to know who this week's games are appealing to. On one hand, there's the Kinect-only Diabolical Pitch and on the other, there's a pinball game based on real-life tables. So, unless you've got Kinect or love a spot of pinball… well, you're bang out of luck. Sorry.
