New Xbox LIVE games for Windows Phone: 'Deer Hunter 3D' and 'Zombie Attack!'

It's Xbox Wednesday, which means of course we have new games to report on. This week we're back to two releases, although they're a bit niche, if you ask us.

First one is Deer Hunter 3D, which at first we thought was a 3D game version of the 1978 Cimino film. How disappointed we were to find out instead of being De Niro we're an actual deer hunter, plucking off 3D models of cute furry animals.  If "devastating kills" are your thing, you can fork over $4.99 for the simulation of blowing away Bambi's mom, repeatedly, while pretending you're paying attention in that morning meeting. You can grab that game here for a trial, but men are hunters and men don't use trials, so just buy it.

The second is 'Zombie Attack! 2' from IUGO, which is evidently an alarming event, judging by the exclamation point. Adding to the surfeit of tower-defense games in the Marketplace, 'ZA! 2' (hip folk can abbreviate) brings tons of weapons, zombie apocalypse and your normal tower game play to your Windows Phone. It certainly looks colorful. 'ZA! 2' fetches for a fair $2.99 and you can grab that bad boy right here.

As usual, hit us up in comments with your thoughts. We're getting back to our favorite game, 'Shift 2'...
