Despite a dearth of new video game releases at retail, the summer months are the best time of year for downloadable games. Here are a few recent favorites.
I'm still good at "Culdcept Saga." Plus, I plow through "Alan Wake's" "The Signal" downloadable content, play "Left 4 Dead 2" with some friends and find time to dabble in some other stuff. This week's goal is to fire up "Starcraft 2" for the first time and give the PlayStation 3 some love.
This week's high-profile new releases, "Alpha Protocol" and "Backbreaker," have been getting mixed reviews, so we're gonna switch things up a little and go with a great game that just got a price drop, two games that got downloadable content and a couple of downloadable games.
