Weekly 360 and Wii Downloads: Yummy, Yummy Yummy I Got Love in My Tummy

Nov. 10 5:02 PM by Terry Terrones

A picture of Homer Simpson stuffing his face would have been a much more appropriate picture considering the title of this post but since receiving multiple emails from Matt Groening threatening to sue me if I don't "cease and desist using his intellectual property without permission", I thought I'd put up a pic of an actual game instead.

Not that you can really blame me for the crazy title. When one of the games available for download this week is "Yummy Yummy Cooking Jam" (1,000 Wii Points) and you've seen every episode of The Simpsons, you just can't help yourself. What else can Wii owners pick up today? "Brain Challenge" (1,000 points) and "Mega Man 3" (500 points).

Normally this is the place where I'd tell you about the XBLA game/s of the week but my MS contact has been surprisingly tight lipped. I do have some information but she swore me to secrecy, and if I tell you what I know without permission she'll shave my eyebrows off.

Look for a post on what new content you can expect to see on XBLA as soon as my virtual hands have been virtually unhandcuffed. In the meantime, hit the jump for all the details on the Wii downloadables.
