There are three games up for grabs on XBLA this week, and all of them offer something different. Encleverment Experiment (800, $10) seeks to test your brain power as well as the brain power of your friends (or random strangers on Xbox Live). Meanwhile NBA Unrivaled (1200, $15) brings arcade basketball with massive dunks (and odd character animations). Finally, 0D Beat Drop (800, $10) … drops some rhythm-infused puzzle action onto XBLA. Watch the latest XBLA in Brief and see if any of them are up your alley.

Dante’s Inferno concept was greenlit immediately

The Dante’s Inferno game concept — a totally brutal action-adventure based on Dante Alighieri’s epic poem — seems like a hard sell to us, but it was no problem getting EA on board. As it turns out, EA was all in from the very beginning, according to Visceral creative director Jonathan Knight’s recollection during a PlayStation Blog interview (that you can watch after the break). He got the go-ahead “pretty much right away,” as EA executives apparently saw “the potential in the mythology” glowing green before their very eyes.

“Nobody’s really taken on that kind of medieval Christian notion of the afterlife as a very real place that you go to, you know, just under the ground, and there’s monsters and demons and rivers,” Knight said. “It’s just a crazy, fantastical, incredible vision that Dante Alighieri had for Hell, and my execs immediately saw the potential there for a real game.”

In addition to the appeal of Hell — a concept that “everybody has some knowledge of” — we can imagine that EA appreciated what is basically a licensed game based on a public domain property, especially these days.

How to unlock a one billion point Achievement

As a congratulatory message to their Microsoft peers, the Interactive Entertainment branch recently sent the Windows team the banner you see above shortly after the latter launched Windows 7. It’s a cute little example of how these two companies okay enough with the crap. We need this Achievement. Do you understand us, Microsoft? We need it. Knowing “the big one” is out there, but that it will be eternally inaccessible to us? Do you know what that would do to our psyche? It would end us, Microsoft.

We’ll make you a deal — we’ll create our own Microsoft-branded operating system, and then you go ahead and pass one of those novelty-sized Achievements our way. How do you feel about “Doors XL?” No? How about “Glass-covered Portals 2010?” Or “Panes: Professional Edition?” Get back to us on this one, okay? We need it.
