Ubisoft has just taken the lid off Babel Rising, a strategy title due on PlayStation Network and Xbox Live Arcade some time in 2012.
It's a god game that sees you using either Kinect or PlayStation Move to wield divine powers to prevent the ancient Babylonians from building the Tower of Babel.
Apparently you'll be able to hurl bolts of lightning, summon massive earthquakes or unleash devastating floods on your hapless minions.
Developed by Mando Productions, it originally saw the light of day as an iOS title earlier this year. The developer has added 3D visuals as well as both co-op and competitive multiplayer modes for the console release.

A touched-up HD port of Sega arcade shoot 'em up Under Defeat is on its way to PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.
According to Japanese games mag Famitsu, as reported by Siliconera, original developer G.rev is handling the port and it'll be out in Japan on 19th January, presumably as a download.
Sega has yet to make a formal announcement, and there's no mention of a Western release yet. We'll update when we hear more.
The original arrived in arcades back in 2005, with a Dreamcast version following in 2006 - one of the final games released on the system.
"It's hard to shake the feeling that this is '80s gaming dressed in '00s visuals running on '90s hardware, wrote Eurogamer's Simon Parkin in his 7/10 Under Defeat review.
"The gameplay is sweet and eloquent but, underneath it's also tired and relentlessly derivative."

Nokia fanboys and girls across the British Isles are getting the Lumia 800 love as early as November. Confirmed on a trio of carriers earlier today, Espoo's "first real Windows Phone" is slated to hit Vodafone, Orange and 3 UK sometime next month, though no specific street date has yet been revealed. You can hit up the operators' respective sites now to sign-up for the availability updates, or go whole hog with an in-store pre-order in the case of 3 UK. At least one of these networks is sweetening the pot for potential subs, as Orange's enticing lure of a free Xbox 360 with handset upgrade is sure to reel in bargain hunting customers. So, what are you waiting for? Hit up the source below to hand over your deets and claim your spot in this Finnish Mango queue.

Activision is kicking off a massive Double XP weekend this weekend for both Modern Warfare 2 and Black Ops.
It's a good way to send off your old favorites before Modern Warfare 3 launches in two weeks time, but there's another point to all this.
As Activision explains: "Every time you prestige in MW3, you'll receive a prestige token. Use it to unlock rewards like double XP for a limited time, an extra custom class, or choose one piece of gear from your custom class to keep unlocked from rank 1 of future prestiges."
As a bonus, everyone who's prestiged in MW1 and 2, World at War and Black Ops will get bonus tokens instantly at launch, allowing them to start unlocking stuff instantly ahead of everyone else.
So if you're not already knee-deep in Battlefield 3, this weekend's double XP run is your best chance to earn some extra prestige tokens for MW3.

The Batman bundle comes with a 250GB console, Batman: Arkham City, Gotham Knight on DVD, Green Lantern video game tie-in Rise of the Manhunters, and the DVD edition of this summer’s Green Lantern movie.
An additional SKU that features all of this and a Kinect motion controller is also available.
The bundles have also been put together with the help of the distributor’s in-house creative agency Gem Creative. Additional SKUs will be released between now and Christmas.

Minecraft mastermind Markus Persson has confirmed that the Xbox 360 version of Minecraft will be playable for the first time at MineCon next month.
 Microsoft confirmed earlier this year that Minecraft will see an Xbox 360 console exclusive release this winter.
Microsoft Game Studios corporate VP Phil Spencer's E3 announcement was short on details, but the 360 version of the indie world building hit will support Kinect.
MineCon will take place in Las Vegas on November 18 and 19. With Microsoft as one of the event's main sponsors, developer Mojang says: "Microsoft will participate in the preview of the Xbox 360 version of Minecraft and will also be showing off some cool stuff in the exhibition area of the event."
Mojang included the below teaser video with its blog post.

Warner Bros have agreed a deal with Polish studio CD Projekt RED to distribute the upcoming Xbox 360 version of Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings in the United States, Canada and Mexico.
The console adaptation of the PC fantasy RPG will be released in early 2012.
Adam Kicinski, President of CD Projekt RED, said: “We have added significant enhancements to the Xbox 360 version of The Witcher 2, going far beyond simply editing the code to run on a new platform. Thanks to one of the world's newest game engines, the RED Engine, it will be one of the best-looking games ever released on Xbox 360.”
The PC version has sold around one million copies worldwide since its release in May. Like the 2007 original, Witcher 2 is based on the short stories by Polish author Andrzej Sapkowski.

Publisher EA has confirmed that it will once again use the likeness of Tiger Woods in the next instalment of its PGA Tour Golf series.
The former world No.1 has been a troubled figure since his much publicised media blowout in late 2009. Back then he was ranked as No.1 in the world. As of today he sits at 55th.
Despite sticking by the star in the aftermath of the vents, the publisher has since admitted that it can see a future beyond Woods. Indeed, some versions of last year’s game didn’t carry to star’s likeness.
Not that it stopped Tiger Woods 12 breaking series records.
However, Tiger’s presense will be diluted somewhat by the use of two other golfing superstars on the box of Tiger Woods 13 – Rory McIlroy and Rickie Fowler, both of whom were selected by a poll conducted amongst the EA fanbase.
Bubba Watson and Luke Donald narrowly missed out on securing a cover spot themselves.
“Appearing on the cover of Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 11 was an amazing experience and helped introduce me to a whole new fan base around the world,” Rory McIlroy said of the news.
“But this year holds special meaning because it was the fans who decided to put me on the cover once again.”
Rickie Fowler added: “For someone that grew up playing Tiger Woods PGA TOUR and is a huge fan of the franchise, this is a great moment in my career. I’m excited to join Tiger on the cover of this year’s game and want to especially thank all of my fans who spread the word and voted for me.”
Tiger himself even chipped in, stating: “There have been a number of great young and up-and-coming golfers to join the sport over the last few years and Rickie Fowler and Rory McIlroy are certainly on that list.
“Their wins are a testament to their passionate fan base and I’m looking forward to having Rickie and Rory join me on the cover of Tiger Woods PGA Tour 13.”

Xamphear released JTAG Content Manager 1.6:
[QUOTE]
What This App Does:
* Browse 360 files on your PC by their real info, like game name and package title.
* Upload files (XBLA, DLC, GOD, Avatar, Title Update) to your console over FTP with a single click. Files are automatically uploaded to the right folders.
* Drag and drop files to other applications, if you'd prefer to use your own FTP client.
* Organize a messy folder of downloaded content into 1 of 4 different directory styles. Restore the original filenames for XBLA and DLC files.
* View the MediaID of Title Updates and GODs so you can match them, and search JQE and XBUC for matching TUs.
* View the MediaID of ISO files. (Requires abgx360)
Advanced/Beta Features:
* Scan the Content folder on your 360's HDD to a database so that while browsing content on your PC you can see if it's already on your 360 or not, even if your 360 is off.
* Browse the contents of your 360 directly, using Freestyle Dashboard's SMB
share technology. Please see the About box for credits and thanks. This app owes a lot to other more talented 360 hackers.
What's new/fixed:
Support for ftpdll Dash Launch plugin. Patching/Unlocking of GOD files is now enabled. Correct filesize shown for Xbox Originals and NXE Game Installs. Xbox Originals made with ISO2GOD can now be uploaded. Limited support for extracted ISO games: default.xex files can be loaded and their TitleID and MediaID are displayed, allowing you to search for Title Updates. Game demos are supported for upload. GOD uploads now display the correct number of chunks when uploading multiple GODs in the same queue. GODs, Xbox Originals, and NXE Game Installs can now be organized. Pressing ESCAPE will stop an in-progress folder scan, if you accidentally trigger one on a very large directory. Other bug fixes.
