Buku Sudoku & Warlords are your games of the week!

This week gives you two games - Buku Sudoku and the classic Atari classic Warlords!
Experience the excitement of the world’s hottest number game sensation on Xbox LIVE Arcade with Buku Sudoku. The title upgrades the traditional paper-and-pencil game with beautiful HD graphics, informative tutorials, multiple grid sizes and new ways to enjoy the game via multiplayer modes. With multiple themes that allow players to choose the audio and visual environment, over 1,200 puzzles total and three levels of difficulty, Buku Sudoku has something for everyone.

Buku Sudoku multiplayer modes feature support for up to four players offline and up to eight players via Xbox LIVE. More casual players can experience the game with friends and family through the cooperative mode, and competitive players will enjoy an entirely new concept – an active duel where the player’s performance directly impacts his opponent’s puzzle.
Developed by Merscom, Buku Sudoku will be available worldwide for 800 Microsoft Points. Click here for new images of Buku Sudoku!

Warlords offers single and multiplayer action as up to four players battle to protect their fortress from attack, while battering down their opponents’ at a frenetic pace! Defend yourself from incoming fire with your mighty shield and smash down your enemies’ defenses by firing flaming balls at them, or blast a hole through and bring their Warlord tumbling down along with his castle walls!

Warlords returns in both a pixel-perfect copy of the original arcade cabinet game, plus a brand new Evolved version featuring cool new 3D graphics and the opportunity to be your own Warlord using the live video feed! Single player is supported, along with 2, 3, and 4 player local and Xbox LIVE multiplayer choices.
Developed by Stainless Games, Warlords will be available worldwide (with the exception of Japan and Korea) for 400 Microsoft Points. Click here for new images of Warlords!

So what happened with that rumored Commando 3 release this week? Apparently all a big mistake. After the UK Xbox manager apoligised for the "Street Fighter IV" error, they were asked about the release date as well, with the reply:
That was a mistake too - it's not next week's XBLA game. For saying that I've been given a spinning piledriver.
Must be coming out very soon though!

The evolved version of Warlords looks OK considering I've never played before. Buku Sudoku looks fun too.
