Two new titles are available for your downloading pleasure this fine day.  The first comes to us from LucasArts, titled Lucidity.  Lucidity is a new platformer set in a very surreal landscape, you play as Sofi and you enter her imagination and navigate all of the puzzle elements.  As I always say, it's on XBLA, you can download the demo for free - so check it out.

The second game is South Park Let's Go Tower Defense Play!, and really the only thing you need to know is it's  Tower-defense style game featuring the South Park crew.  Go play it now!
