You probably already know that Rez HD is coming to Xbox LIVE this Wednesday (don’t forget to read our impressions, btw), so we’ll refrain from rehashing what is now a nugget of your wisdom in snarky blogger format. Instead we’ll just mention that Ubisoft’s Chessmaster LIVE is coming this week as well.
