Kill Team comes across as a relentless top-down twin-stick shooter in which you have to see off thousands of Orks. But once you put aside your distaste and just take it at face value, it's a fine example of how to position a companion release. There's something irrationally offensive about a download game designed to act as an advert for a boxed product - and given how badly the Red Faction: Armageddon one went down recently, confidence in Kill Team cutting the mustard wasn't exactly high.
Xbox Live Arcade - 800 Microsoft Points (£6.80).On that note: games! Warhammer 40,000: Kill Team No wonder the financial community is panicking. Nintendo, meanwhile, appears content to let the world change around it. The freebies offered to PlayStation Plus subscribers, in particular, are well worth looking at. Whether it's been successful is hard to gauge, but at least it's not sitting on its hands. It's easy to point to mobile phones, but actually, Sony has been admirably proactive lately, with plenty of deals on a wide variety of its downloadable catalogue. Instead, a growing number of titles sit and stagnate at prices that make little sense when you consider the quality that's offered elsewhere. Unlike rival services, Nintendo seems unable (or just plain unwilling) to adjust prices when they've been available for a while, or offer special deals. Some of us still accept that the genuine blockbusters can, on occasion, justify bigger price tags, but it's the cost of the downloadable titles that's really puzzling. Nintendo deserves plenty of credit for the swift, decisive action it took recently to address the price of the 3DS - but it glosses over the equally pertinent issue of the pricing of the games.
