News: Are you ready to challenge the Nature Boy in Red Alert 3?

Microsoft has announced this Wednesday's additions to the Xbox Live Arcade and gamers will get a chance to download two very different games for the small price of 800 Microsoft Points ($10) each.

Taito plans to release Bubble Bobble Neo!, a remake/reimagining of the classic puzzle platformer Bubble Bobble this Wednesday. The game will include the original 100 puzzle rooms in Classic Mode and new levels in an Arrange Mode. The game will also include both online and offline four-player cooperative and versus modes.

The other game available this week will be Command & Conquer Red Alert 3: Commander's Challenge, a standalone spinoff of Command & Conquer Red Alert 3 based on the Commander's Challenge mode found in the PC-exclusive expansion Uprising. The game will include 50 challenges issued by commanders in the Red Alert 3 universe, including Ric Flair's Commander Hill.

More information on both games can be found below. Can you say "Woooooooooo!"?
