Orcs Must Die!, Crysis, Space Channel 5 and NBA Jam.

One of the busiest weeks for XBLA releases in the past six months sees four new games added to the digital distribution portal.

Orcs Must Die! and NBA Jam: On Fire Edition both make their debuts at 1200 MS Points a pop, as do Space Channel 5 Part 2 and Sega Bass Fishing at 800 MS Points each.

Joining them is the long-awaited console verison of Crysis, downloadable via Games on Demand. Keep an eye-out for our review on that in the coming days.

The 'Deal of the Week' for the next seven days has a distinct 'table top' feel to it, featuring card and boards games such as Catan and Yu-Gi-Oh 5D's.
