Four plucky games are daring to make a stand next week and boldly launch between Christmas and New Year. One is the shiny HD version of Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath on PlayStation Network, then there's All Zombies Must Die!, Bionic Commando GBA on 3DS, and t'other is... a surprise.

Here's our full list of next week's new releases:

Xbox 360

• All Zombies Must Die! (XBLA - $10)

PlayStation 3

• All Zombies Must Die! (PSN - $10)

• Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath HD (PSN - $15)

Wii

• Carmen Sandiego Adventures in Math: The Big Ben Burglary (WiiWare - $6)

Nintendo 3DS

• Bionic Commando (GBA) (Virtual Console - $6)

All right, maybe that is a wee bit anti-climatic. We'll most probably see a few smaller PC games creep out too but, for reasons unknown, developers and publishers are often hesitant to publicise such minor details as "release dates."
