Weekly 360, Wii, and PS3 downloads: Flowers and hockey

Flower is not for action fans, rather ones who want to wind down and relax

Today Wii owners can purchase "LIT" (800 Wii Points) and "Wolf of the Battlefield" (800pts). On Wednesday Xbox 360 gamers can pick up "3on3 NHL Arcade" (800MS points, look for our review Friday) and on Thursday PS3 owners can download the very cool PSN title "Flower" ($9.99, my review will be up the same day). Isn't it nice when every console gets a little love? Here are all the details on this week's titles:

WiiWare

LIT (WayForward Technologies, 1 player, Rated E10+ for Everyone 10 and Older-Violence, 800 Wii Points): Dark creatures have taken over Jake's high school, and it's up to you to guide him through each classroom in order to be reunited with his girlfriend Rachael. Existing light sources must be used smartly to create bridges of light for Jake to cross. One false step and Jake gets pulled into the darkness. Along the way he'll encounter twisted versions of his school's faculty, which must be battled in order to advance. LIT is a horror/puzzle game that requires the Wii Remote(tm) and Nunchuk(tm) controllers. It contains 30 levels, five boss battles, replay modes and several unlockables, including multiple endings, Dark Mode timed challenges and an unlockable character.

Virtual Console

Wolf of the Battlefield: MERCS (SEGA GENESIS, 1 player, Rated E10+ for Everyone 10 and Older-Mild Violence, 800 Wii Points): Following a rash of terrorism outbreaks and increasing opposition from guerilla fighters, the U.S. government has decided to hire a group of professional mercenaries to undergo secret missions, battling through enemy lines to go where no ordinary soldier would dare to go. Based on the popular arcade game, the SEGA GENESIS version of MERCS lets you play as a MERC and also adds an original mode, allowing players to choose from five different characters. Take no prisoners as you shoot, drive jeeps and tanks, and clash against huge bosses to accomplish your mission.

XBLA

I have been underwhelmed with the WiiWare titles available as of late. I think the last time I downloaded a new release was Tetris Party. I'm not complaining though as I have enough to play already.

As for Flower, if ever there was a game for little kids, grandparents, or so-called "casual gamers", this would be it.
