It’s a decidedly gloomy week for Xbox LIVE Arcade. Both games,Inferno PoolandRainbow Islands: Towering Adventure!, are re-releases from other downloadable services (PSN and WiiWare, respectively). Even at $10 a pop, I don’t know that either of them are worth downloading.
Oh,Inferno Pool. I dislike pool, especially in virtual form, but your announcer is so entertaining. You couldn’t get theUnreal Tournamentguy, so you had to hire the next best person. And he’sgloriously awful. I mean that in the best possible way, honest!

And then ontoRainbow Islands: Towering Adventure!. Personally, I would have preferred the original arcade game rather than this. The game’s cluttered look and slightly creepy-looking protagonist aren’t doing it for me. The unnecessary exclamation mark in the title is a nice effort, though. You gotta have that.
