Update
According to Joystiq, this week also sees the release of Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Game, an 8-bit, 2-D side-scrolling beat-em-up -- which by all accounts seems to be really good -- and a demo for Valkyria Chronicles 2, while Playstation Plus subscribers are also treated to an expansion for PixelJunk Racers (PixelJunk Racers 2nd Lap), which they get for free. Wow, some of this stuff is so good, Sony should really think about starting to advertise!


Continuing on with this year's Summer Of Arcade promotion, this week's release is Team Fortress 2-a-like, Monday Night Combat. The game is a class-based third-person shooter, and is set in the near future where the world's favourite televised sport is arena-based combat -- think The Running Man, but with more laughs, and fewer people being chainsawed in two.

Like Team Fortress 2, the game seems to have its tongue planted firmly in-cheek, and looks like it could be a lot of fun. Monday Night Combat is set to release on XBLA on August 11th, for the price of 1200MSP. For more information check out the two videos below -- one is a standard gameplay trailer, whilst the other is a bonus which shows off the game's quirky sense of humour.
