In a week where House of the Dead 4 makes its grand entrance the most intriguing new download is without a doubt Doc Clock: The Toasted Sandwich of Time. We know close to nothing about this one but with a name like that you can bet either way it’s going to be memorable.

Other highlights include a complete edition of Renegade Ops, NHL 12 and a new Vita app.

Have a look won’t you?

LEVEL-5′s Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch is a title which lies somewhere in the periphery of most gamers most anticipated lists. Due in large part to the J-RPG’s seemingly requisite obscure title and yet more atypical narrative.

Noid and Chex Quest.
