Xbox Live update: what's new this week?

L.A. Noire DLC cuts, Assassin's Creed maps and more

This week's Xbox Live Marketplace update is a mystery. No, not the kind of mystery that involves ancient prophecies and the forces of darkness, nor the kind of mystery that involves bizarrely discontinuous minigames - we're talking about mysteries that involve crazy dames, slugs of cheap gin and sweet suits. Rockstar has discounted a wodge of L.A. Noire add-ons from today till 30th January.

If you prefer to clothe your enigmas in robes and doublets, Assassin's Creed: Revelations' Mediterranean Traveller pack may appeal more. It contains a bevy of new maps and characters. There's also a UFC Undisputed 3 demo, for all your man-punching needs, and a Games on Demand outing for Duke Nukem Forever.

  1. Why do you post minor details about the assassins creed dlc and LA noire Deal of the week but totally ignore the games that are out tomorrow and what they are like.... :?

  2. Which particular games would you like to hear more about, comabob?

  3. Does the ninja update mean I'm finally going to get a sword? Surely it isn't too much to ask for my avatar to have one measily little katana? Not a lightsaber, not a cardboard tube (why?) but a real japanese samurai sword. Please MS.

    Well out of the three - Puddle and Quarrel.

    Ive never heard of them and after a flood of 1200point games being released that have been (imo) supbar its refreshing seeing games priced at 400 or even 800...

    Im assuming other game out of the 3 is for kinect.
