That's right, folks! It seems that this week, we have ourselves something special: we have ourselves a two-fer!.

On XBLA this week, we have Scrap Metal, the latest game from developers Slick (the developers responsible for N+), and the game looks to be like a mixture of top-down racer (think Micro-Machines or Pole Position), and Twisted Metal. The game will be available from the Xbox Live Marketplace from Wednesday 10th of March, and will cost 1200MSP. Check out the trailer for this below:



On the other hand, PSN will see Sega's HD re-release of arcade classic After Burner, with the release of After Burner Climax. This also releases on Wednesday, though there is no word yet on pricing. Anyone interested in some arcadey, aerial dog-fighting action -- in super-shiny HD -- should check the video below:

Wow, I was skeptical until I saw the videos, but both games look like they could be fun. Scrap Metal reminds me of Ivan "Ironman" Stewart's Super Off Road, and I loved that game when I was a kid.

After Burner was my go-to arcade game. This looks fun.

Agreed. I was pretty sceptical about both games until I saw the videos. There are better videos for Scrap Metal on-line, which showed more actual racing, but unfortunately, most of them were developer diaries.

I think both games look like they have some serious potential.
