3 Games Coming To XBLA This Week

This week sees the release of 3 new games to the Xbox Live Arcade. The titles are Fret Nice for 1200 MSP, Greed Corp for 800 MSP and Lazy Raiders for 800 MSP.

These titles will release Wednesday and descriptions can be found below.

Fret Nice™ is a 2-D platformer that will rock your world. Control your character through funky-fresh stages to explore hidden areas, collect items, and clash note-for-note with outrageous heavy metal bosses! Rock out by blasting enemies with riff combos and creating your own sounds with each "strum" of a chord! Every playthrough offers an ever-changing sonic adventure.

Why share when you can have it all? Greed Corp is an online multiplayer strategy game in which you battle for dominance over a world once rich in resources. In order to prevail, exhaust all the remaining resources to build an army, and then use the depleted collapsing terrain to your advantage. An extensive campaign mode and multiple unlockables prepare you to take the battle online. Will you defend your territory or sacrifice it to keep it out of enemy hands? Manage the finite available resources to build your army and use the unique collapsing terrain mechanic to your advantage, all while the mist grows closer ...

Dr. Diggabone's getting too old for archaeological digs, or so he says. Truth be told, he's just plain lazy … That's where you jump into Lazy Raiders® and take control as you spin and flip mazes to send the Doctor or your Avatar on a gravity-defying quest for lost relics that would bring him instant fortune and glory. Of course you'll have to deal with greedy thieves, pesky minions, and ingenious traps along the way. If there weren't any challenges, you'd just grow lazy … and we wouldn't want that, would we?
