Down Lo on the Downloads: Shop-Store-Market 01/08
PlayStation 3, Wii, Xbox 360
Downloadable games for consoles made great strides in 2007 and the year's final month of releases made for the most tantalizing selection yet, setting a new standard for quality expectations of 2008. After all, the original Halo is now available at "casual" pricing, big fat pig of a download that it is. But, you know, Halo. How cool is that?

Wii
Uninformed parents and knee-jerk self-righteous groups are all a-flutter about the Wii Zapper, which gives the otherwise oddball Wii-mote controls the definitive stylings of a semi-automatic pistol.

PlayStation 2, Wii

PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3, Wii, Xbox 360
Videogame tie-ins rarely make for good games -- not that TV, movie and merchandising cross-overs can't be good game fodder, they usually just aren't because they sell well enough to a fan base as is.
