It is the start of a new age and Bonk has returned at the turn of the tide as the world faces extinction. Our loveable caveman is back and has brought his huge head with him. A doomsday comet, surrounded by smaller chunks of debris, is on a collision course with Earth. A strange magnetic field around the comet seems to be driving most of the planet’s weak-willed creatures crazy, and smaller bits of debris are smashing into the jungle near Bonk's home. Bonk must undertake a perilous journey that will take him to the very center of the planet to save the world.

With classic 2D platforming in a 3D world, Bonk: Brink of Extinction combines new enemies, collectables, downloadable content and online play for the first time in the series.

Three new XBLA games, one Deal of the Week with new DLC, and now three new Arcade Hits? That’s right folks! It’s been a busy start of the week for the Xbox LIVE Arcade.

So, if you didn't like the selections this week, or have been holding out for something better… then Microsoft may have your answer with these three Xbox LIVE Arcade games: Brain Challenge, Street Fighter II Hyper Fighting, and 3D Ultra Minigolf are all getting their prices permanently cut down to 400 Microsoft Points starting this Wednesday, September 23rd with the release of this week’s three brand new XBLA titles.

Brain Challenge was released back in March 2008, and has already seen itself part of the Deals Of The Week program once. The game just got a sequel a few days ago on the iPhone, and may be the reason behind the price change similar to what Microsoft did with the original Feeding Frenzy and Worms when their sequels were announced. So don’t be surprised if we see the Brain Challenge sequel on Xbox LIVE Arcade sometime down the road a the original game was fairly popular when it was released on the XBLA.

Street Fighter II Hyper Fighting already has its big brother on Xbox Live Arcade with HD Remix, so it would be plausible to assume that since its release this game's sales have gone down, thus the price drop. But will the drop to 400 Microsoft Points be able to revive this Street Fighter port, or has everyone already made up their mind to buy the beautiful looking HD Remix? Hardcore fans of the series will probably pick up both.

Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc. recently announced the release date and some screenshots from the highly anticipated downloadable game Zombie Apocalypse from Nihilistic Software, that is coming to Xbox LIVE® Arcade for the Xbox 360® video game console and XBLArcade.com has the gory details!

Zombie Apocalypse drops players in an epic battle between the dead and the living! As the zombie infection spreads uncontrollably and the undead outnumber humans, a small band of heavily equipped gunslingers are out to destroy as many zombies as they can and try to save any of the remaining survivors. Up to four players can try and stop the zombie apocalypse with an arsenal of deadly weapons, such as an assault rifle, flame thrower, grenade launcher, and when ammo is low a chainsaw will be your last line of defence against becoming one of the undead.

Equipped with ample artillery, players' dual analog stick shooting skills will be put to the test in the thrilling arcade style shooter. As gamers set forth on their mission to conquer zombies, they can choose from up to 11 diverse weapons including assault rifles, flamethrowers and teddy bears filled with C4 explosives. A chainsaw is also available to players who want an up close and personal encounter with the roaming dead. Savvy players can also take advantage of their surroundings as they utilize environmental hazards to destroy massive hordes of zombies.

It's been 30 years since the first time audiences heard the inspirational line "Can you dig it?" from the movie The Warriors, but it was only a few month’s ago, XBLArcade.com featured an exclusive news post about Paramount Digital Entertainment commemorating the 30th anniversary of release of “The Warriors” movie with a new Xbox Live Arcade title, and now we know the official launch date.

The Warriors: Street Brawl is a 3-D side-scrolling fighter reminiscent of older games, such as Final Fight, Streets of Rage and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time (which got an XBLA remake of its own last month), though taking advantage of the current hardware by offering sharper graphics and visual effects. This time, however, Paramount Games is wholly responsible for the arcade title instead of the Grand Theft Auto style Warriors title put out by Rockstar a few years back.
