Thankfully the PlayStation Store has fared a bit better than last week, with two new games hitting the service. The first one is Inferno Pool, which brings a nastier element to the once peaceful sport, via combos-based moves and abilities. One of the moves you can use to distract your player is an avalanche of pool tables, throwing your opponent's cue off target. The game also has a four-player split-screen option, so you can play against three of your mates. The second game to hit the PS Store this week is a first-person shooter published by Ubisoft called CellFactor: Psychokinetic Wars. In a similar vein to Unreal Tournament, CellFactor is a fast-paced FPS, featuring three different classes, each with their own set of telekinetic abilities. Both titles are out now for A$12.95 ($10.26) and A$15.95 ($12.64), respectively.

It's been a few years since Wallace and Gromit have graced the tiny screen, but they're back and they're making their way to Xbox Live Arcade. In an all-new adventure written for the game, the man and dog duo are tasked with finding 50 gallons of honey in just a few hours for their invention to work. What's the invention? We don't know, but if you're willing to fork out 800 Microsoft points for Wallace & Gromit Episode 1: Fright of the Bumblebees, you'll find out as the mystery unravels itself.

In the seemingly continuous trend of simultaneous WiiWare/Virtual Console releases, both Fish 'em All! and Space Harrier hit the store overnight. There's not a whole lot to say about Fish 'em All except that it's an arcade fishing game that features a lot of waggling, and a two-player mode to see who can waggle their Wiimote the fastest. Straight from 1985, Space Harrier is an on-rails shooter, in which you'll get to travel the galaxy shooting 3D monsters, which was a big deal at the time. Both titles are 800 Nintendo points.

There's only one game to come out on DSiWare this week and that solo title is Art Stule: NEMREM. The aim behind this one is to match coloured squares with similar coloured circles, sort of like a rubix cube, but on the DSi. Art Stule: NEMREM will set you back 500 Nintendo Points.

Now onto the downloadable content. On top of the usual Rock Band and Guitar Hero World Tour DLC, this week sees a new Corperate Warfare expansion for Saints Row 2, which takes the gang-land battles into the office of ultor, as well as a new track for Ferarri Challenge, and a mean Judge Dredd costume for Sack Boy.
