Xbox Live Arcade (Worldwide)
Some quality gaming out this week -- Section 8: Prejudice is now available for 1200MSP, sitting at a whopping 1.78GB. This game claims to be pretty full of content for your money's worth, and it's already getting some very nice reviews.

For DLC, there is a new table available for Pinball FX 2 -- Mars. Not entirely new -- it was made for Zen Pinball back in July 2010, but still, a new table is always welcome! Grab it for 240MSP, or check out the demo version.
