Wolf of the Battlefield: Commando 3 is a scrolling shooter, based on the classic Commando 1 and 2 games from Capcom. The look has upgraded from pixel to HD graphics. Co-op play is definitely encouraged, so bring a friend along if you can (and if you want to lock in all 200 achievement points). It definitely keeps that old school Commando feel (time those grenades right!). Note that Norihiko Hibino, who worked on the Metal Gear soundtrack, created the soundtrack for Commando 3. Purchase the Xbox 360 release of Commando 3 to get access to the Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix BETA. There's a button on Commando 3's main menu to allow you to download the SSF2T HD Remix BETA. Just keep in mind that it isn't active until June 25th, in about two more weeks. A little confusing since you can actually click the button, but you won't get anything yet. It's a beta, so remember to report bugs here!

Frogger 2 brings new levels and environments to survive. There's a total of 15 levels and 5 different environments to play. Race Mode and Jewel Duel are a couple of new multiplayer gameplay modes, where up to four players can play via Xbox LIVE.
