Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days is the big highlight this week, while Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light hits the Xbox Live Arcade to end the 360′s Summer of Arcade event.

A recently-discovered glitch has apparently made it possible for owners of a certain hit Xbox 360 game to be able to play full versions of five titles from the platform’s Xbox LIVE Arcade Marketplace.

The wait is finally over … almost!! The Behemoth has announced Castle Crashers pricing for the PSN, and promises the game will be available … soon!!

During a recent interview, Double Fine founder Tim Schafer foretold the coming of four new games from the developer, each spanning a different genre and being a smaller production than some of their past fare, such as Brütal Legend. And today, the first of those four games has been revealed.

If you’re looking forward to blasting through Guardian of Light with a buddy online, then you’re going to have to wait until September 28th, coincidentally the same day the PS3 version launches.

With the release of Madden NFL 11 this week, the fall release schedule officially begins and this first week ain’t too bad for gamers. Of course, there’s Madden NFL 11, but there’s some great downloadable games coming out this week such as Scott Pilgrim vs. the World for PS3, Monday Night Combat for 360 and, um, Enjoy Your Massage! for the Wii.

That’s right, already.  Images have been leaked showing new levels and familiar characters already in the works and getting set to be downloaded onto XBL any day now.  All of this with the game only being released a few days ago!!

Crystal Dynamics has announced today DLC plans for the upcoming release of the downloadable Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light with five different DLC packs.

Microsoft has been pushing their Games on Demand service recently, releasing such great titles as Mass Effect and Batman: Arkham Asylum to download straight to Hard Drive. These are not arcade titles, but full-fledged games that were already released to disc, and are re-released for download. At the same time, the Xbox 360 keeps coming with larger and larger Hard Drives to store the games. The trend isn’t only with Microsoft, either; Steam makes its business completely from selling downloadable copies of games…

Even better than getting hands on with their new game, we got to spend some time with The Behemoth Co-Founder Tom Fulp and lead artist Dan Paladin. They gave us the lowdown, and then some.

In case you didn’t already own Plants vs. Zombies on another platform (and if so, why the hell not?) or at least, on enough platforms (three and counting!) you’ll be pleased to know that PopCap will be dropping Plants vs. Zombies on Xbox Live next month, on September 8th.
