Combine the strategic planning and placement of tower defence with the levelling, skills, and fast-paced combat of defence of the ancients, and you’ve got Dungeon Defenders, coming this fall to Xbox Live Arcade, the PlayStation Network, and PC.
Yuke’s Company of America loves downloadable gaming platforms so much that they’ve just created Akinai Games, a special division with a special logo, devoted to creating downloadable console titles.
That’s the impression I’m getting from these graphs, showing how many titles were offered for sale/download on each of the platform holder’s online services since launch. While the numbers obviously fluctuate from month-to-month on all three – Xbox Live, the PlayStation Store and the Wii Shop Channel – general trends still present themselves. Like the fact all three hit a peak in late 2007 before dropping off in the first half of 2008, with the number of XBL Arcade, PSN and Virtual Console games going through the floor. Lucky for Xbox Originals, WiiWare and PSP downloads then!
