Stylish XBLA platform puzzler next week.

Next week's Xbox Live Arcade offering will be The Misadventures of PB Winterbottom by 2K Games.

This promising and macabre puzzle/platform game is based around time manipulation and film-inspired levels. Visuals are stylish and there appears to be a decent amount of content on offer.

Next week Battlefield 1943 goes down to 800 MSP.

Beautiful Katamari arrives next week on Xbox Live Games on Demand. Check our Beautiful Katamari review to find out more.

Just checked the trailer on their site, looks great. Definite buy for me too by the looks of it.

Winterbottom is only 800 points. Major Nelson got the price wrong when he first posted about it. He corrected it here: http://tw itter.com/majornelson/status/88...

"Maybe it's fitting that a game about pies leaves you hungry. Even if it ultimately ends up with your stomach growling, Winterbottom's very best bites are still worth every penny. [Mar 2010, p.80]

I will try out the demo for sure. To many games at the moment to buy this.

I'm grabbing this on release too. And yep, it's 800 MP, not 1200 MP. Win win!

Looks good, the music on that site is brilliant too.

And I bet Beautiful Katamari will be pointlessly overpriced just like every other On Demand offering.

I remember seeing Winterbottom ages ago and thinking it looked quite good/unique.

I don't normally do XBLA games these days but I might pick this up.
