This week, play "Every Extend Extra Extreme," an explosive new twist on the puzzle-shooter genre and also check out "Speedball 2: Brutal Deluxe," a reboot of the classic futuristic sports game Both games will be available worldwide on Xbox LIVE Arcade for Xbox 360 from Wednesday 17th October 2007 at 9:00 a.m. GMT / 10.00 a.m. CET.
Revisiting the dawn of downloadables. Xbox 360 changed the way console gamers get their fix by introducing Xbox Live Arcade games to the mainstream. Sure, the original Xbox had a rudimentary online store that was launched via a mail-order disc, but Xbox 360 made it easy by integrating a Marketplace into the user interface. Believe it or not, its decade anniversary is this year and I made this list to celebrate.
Although downloadable content can enhance games, your wallet sometimes takes a beating. It doesn’t always seem that way because companies release DLC weeks and months apart, but let’s face it, if you want to experience everything, you better grab a wad of dough to pay for it.
On that note, we decided to list some of the biggest games out there and the current prices for both retail copies and DLC; obviously, you stand to pay more if you were an early adopter. We also chose to nix Avatar items, as well as Guitar Hero and Rock Band, since everyone knows that you need a huge chuck of cash to download all of the music for both games.

DLC adds up, for sure, but you can probably get more bang for the buck with various DLC than shelling out 60 bucks all the time on a new retail game
With over 250 games available and new ones every week, Xbox Live has a lot to offer. There’s so much content that you probably missed a few gems during multiplayer matches of Hydro Thunder Hurricane or solving puzzles in Limbo. That’s why we’re here to deliver the top five games you probably missed.

Speadball 2 is good fun.
Does anyone know what has happened to Sensible Soccer?
I thought it was due for a late summer release.
Yup Speedball is pretty classy and has not aged badly.Still plays like a dream when you get the hang of it.
