This weeks XBLA update is now live - you can grab 0D Beat Drop for 800 Microsoft Points, Encleverment Experiment for another 800 Microsoft Points, and NBA Unrivaled for 1200 Microsoft Points.

Having a quick look at the demos 0D Beat Drop seems like a decent Puyo Pop style puzzler but with the ability to choose when your score chain starts destroying blocks. Encleverment Experiment seems like a decent multiplayer brain puzzler, and NBA Unrivaled... man, what happened?

[Edit: Also two new puzzle packs for Bust-A-Move / Puzzle Bobble Live have popped up unexpectantly, you can grab each for 240MSP.]

Further more if you happened to grab the Special Edition of Modern Warfare 2 you can also grab Call Of Duty Classic for free right now while the rest of us wait.
