Microsoft (via Gamerscoreblog) has declared that Coffeetime Crosswords is a lock for the E3 week release this Wednesday. Cue the complaining about how this isn't a "worthy" release followed by crossword fans snapping the game up in droves.

But could it be that Coffeetime will be sharing the E3 spotlight? X360F speculated that Shred Nebula would be starring alongside the puzzler but have since updated their post. I guess not every E3 mystery will be solved before breakfast. We'll have plenty of answers in a few hours though. Stay tuned.

Oh, I almost forgot. We'll also be getting some Buku Sudoku DLC (It's out now and includes 1200 New Puzzles for free!) and Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords will be hitting the Arcade Hits library with a price drop down to 800 MSP.

PR post break.
