Got so caught up in being in L.A. for E3 last week that I plum forgot to post the “Trigger Happy” column that ran in the Georgia Straight. It was a round-up of smaller, downloadable games that have been released for the three consoles.

The number and variety of short video games that can be downloaded directly to your favourite console are rapidly expanding. They’re cheaper than the typical $60 console game, too, usually running between $10 and $20 on the PlayStation Network, WiiWare, and Xbox Live Arcade. Here’s a look at six recent offerings.

Extra bonus, a review of Duke Nukem 3D.
