Catrap is the main event in this week's Euro download offerings.

European gamers can look forward to three new download titles this thursday.

The first of these is Extreme Hangman 2 from Gamelion. This DSiWare game is based on the classic word guessing game where players must complete the word in order to save the hangman. This version of the game includes new backgrounds and words to solve. It can be downloaded for 200 Points on the DSi Shop or €2.00/£1.80 on the Nintendo eShop.

WiiWare has also a title this week in the form of Trenches Generals. In this strategy game, you take control of the Royal British Expeditionary Forcesand and help them to defend the free world. Players guide troops in order to engage in battle with enemy forces in a gameplay style that provides an interesting twist on the tower defense genre. The game offers a full singleplayer campaign, a co-op mode as well as a splitscreen versus mode. The game will set you back 700 Points.

Finally on Nintendo eShop, we have the Game Boy classic Catrap. In this game players need to help restore Catboy and Catgirl to their human form as they work their way through an underground labyrinth of intriguing puzzles. There are 100 puzzles to go through and even a way to make your own levels. Catrap will cost you £2.60/€3.

Uh, okay.  We had Mario Land 2 last week, and now this week we have Cat Trap.  I know nothing of this game.  Should I be excited, or should I be muttering to myself "Damn, Nintendo, you're pulling this crap again..."?

I'd say the second one. Because I've never heard of this game either and it doesn't look like it's a good game either.

I think y'all need to stop being so damn negative and have an open heart for games not starring Mario, Link, or Samus. Guess what? Fortified Zone is pretty cool. Avenging Spirit is novel. Jaleco and Asmik occasionally make games that don't suck!

Eh, point taken.  And while I haven't downloaded either of the 2 you mentioned, I'm interested, especially by Fortified Zone.  Neal, I remember you calling it "Zelda with guns" on a past Newscast?  I can get into that.

The message of the story is this: Buy Catrap or else you're part of the problem*



* Not really. I don't want to oversell it. It's not amazing, but I think it's a novel little game that would totally be worth the $3/4 to have on my 3DS.
