ToeJam & Earl and Karateka Out on XBLA This Week
The fountain of knowledge at Xbox Larry Hryb – or Major Nelson, has tweeted about two titles coming to XBLA this week, which VG247 has reported on – ToeJam & Earl Collection and Karateka. The ToeJam & Earl Collection was announced last month, whilst Karateka is a remake of the 1984 Apple II game.
SEGA has been busting out these classic games lately, and for that, we are grateful. The original ToeJam & Earl and ToeJam & Earl: Panic on Funkotron are included in the package, and will cost 800 Microsoft Points. Both games are also set to be coming to PSN this week, at £3.69 for each, but we are yet to hear word on this since the initial announcement.
Karateka is the brainchild of Prince of Persia creator Jordan Mechner. The game seems to look a lot different to its first incarnation as it takes a more cel-shaded approach.
Both games will be available to purchase on XBLA this Wednesday.

How's things? I'm the video guy and would love if you'd watch the things I do like Debatable and For Your Amusement. I spend the majority of my days explaining why The Wire is the greatest TV show ever and clamouring for a Pop-Punk revival(c. 1994) whilst singing in my best Axl Rose-esque voice. Do not say professional wrestling is “fake” around me or, he’ll bore you with, what I like to call, “the risks they take”. Henrik Larsson is my hero.

Oh...and it's pronounced, "Cull-um".
