Xbox Live Update - 22/06/2011

360 News | Plants and zombies and rockets and fish.

Is it raining outside? Those of us in Melbourne will know exactly what that feels like; it's pretty annoying. So you're cooped up inside by the television, your Xbox 360 is sitting there powerless, and the water is trickling off the roof. Get up and kick that beast into action because Major Nelson announced some special offers for the Xbox Live Marketplace, and they're not half bad.

New Release:

We're a little barren on content this week, aside from Trenched at the unsurprising figure of 1200 MSP (AU$20). It's another title from Double Fine, headed by Tim Schafer. Their last effort, Stacking, was a big success and the studio will be hoping to follow it with further critical acclaim. Trenched looks to have high production values on this little digital platform, and if it can combine a whole cluster of genres and influences, then we could have something really exciting to download tomorrow night.
