XBLA: Your XBLA releases next week - 'Coffeetime Crosswords', 'Shred Nebula', 'Puzzle Quest' Price Cut, And 'Buku Sudoku' DLC
Well I was a little bit wrong - 'Coffeetime Crosswords' IS coming out next week! Not only that, but 'Shred Nebula'! And not only that, but 1,200 new free downloadable puzzles for 'Buku Sudoku'! And not ONLY that but 'Puzzle Quest' is officially getting a price cut down to 800 Points!
Much better.
All games bar 'Shed Nebula' were announced via this press release:

Test your skills and try for the high score in “Coffeetime Crosswords.” Featuring more than 150 puzzles for all skill levels, “Coffeetime Crosswords” supports solo or two player co-op play via Xbox LIVE.

The classic puzzle-action game “Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords™” is the latest addition to Arcade Hits, with a permanently reduced price of 800 Microsoft Points beginning on July 16. “Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords” delivers classic puzzle-game action backed with an epic story of good versus evil.

I wonder when the expansion will be released?
Get 1,200 free new ways to experience “Buku Sudoku”! The game’s new puzzle pack, available now on Xbox LIVE Arcade, gives you 1,200 new puzzles for free. 1,200 new ways to experience “Buku Sudoku” in co-op, head-to-head, battle, casual and timed modes. That's like getting 12 sudoku books for free or over 3 years of puzzles from your daily paper!
This is the second free puzzle pack for Buku Sudoku - that's now 3,600 puzzles for the game! Try completing them all - I dares ya!
And lastly - 'Shred Nebula'! While I cannot find the official press release for this - the chaps over at Xbox360Fanboy have gotten word from the developers that it will also be coming out this week!
While it may look like a twin stick shooter - it certainly doesn't act like it. The game actually plays more like Asteroids - a boost button and you changing your direction. It plays a little like the classic online game Subspace.
