This week brings two casual games to Xbox Live Arcade. For puzzle fans, we have Gyromancer (1200
, $15), an RPG take on PopCap’s Bejeweled Twist. For those who prefer something a little more manic, there’s Diner Dash (800, $10), which tasks players with running a restaurant and keeping customers happy. If you’ve ever dealt with real customers before, you’ll know that keeping them happy is harder than it sounds.
See both games in the latest episode of XBLA in Brief.

Xbox Live Arcade shows a belligerent disregard for productivity this week, hosting a pair of light puzzle games that are sure to weigh heavily on your mind during working hours. Why not have a go (and then just one more) at Gyromancer, the gem-shifting collaboration between Square Enix and PopCap? The cost of entry is 1200 ($15). If it’s a cohesive concoction of puzzles, RPG elements and item collection, your departure is likely to be at no point.
PlayFirst is also serving up an XBLA version of Diner Dash for 800 ($10). The culinary-themed time management game should be an ideal snack in between gorging on Dragon Age: Origins, Modern Warfare 2, Assassin’s Creed 2, Left 4 Dead 2 and … hmm. How good are you at time management?

Under Xbox 360
With the rough time a downloadable title can have finding success in the fourth quarter, it’s probably a good thing that Diner Dash could likely give a plate-dropping damn how successful it ends up being on the console after it arrives on November 18th. The casual title by PlayFirst is already a hit in realm of personal com-pu-ters, having sold over five million copies.
The XBLA version of Diner Dash naturally includes HD-ified graphicals, along with a new multiplayer mode that includes support for up to eight players. The game will allow direct control over protagonist Flo, or the “traditional control scheme,” which involves “point-and-click style with hotkeys.” All the best to Flo in opening up her diner in the midst of the triple-A retail season … she’s going to need it.
