via IGN


The ESRB has long been fertile ground for unofficial game announcements as publishers submit games for review before revealing them to the public. This month was no exception as the updates to the ratings board's database have revealed a trio of new games that look headed for the Xbox Live Arcade.

Wits and Wagers from Hidden Path Entertainment has been given an "E" for Everyone rating. Though no official details have been revealed, there is a trivia board game by the same name that involves, as the name implies, answering questions and betting on answers.

Assault Heroes 2, a sequel to another XBLA game by Vivendi, has been given a "T" for Teen rating due to animated blood and violence. The first in the series was a top-down co-operative shooter and developed by Wanako Games.

The last new game to appear on the list is Mr. Driller Online, from Namco Bandai. Unsurprisingly, it has been given an "E" rating. Mr. Driller is a popular puzzle series that has appeared on numerous platforms in the past including PlayStation, Dreamcast and Nintendo DS.
