Xbox LIVE Newsbeat September 4th – 17th
This week sees the release of a major add-on for our last Christmas Number One, and one of the biggest games of last year.
Skyrim: Hearthfire is available on Xbox LIVE Arcade from today, and will only cost gamers a paltry 400 MS Points.
The battle for FPS supremacy continues, as both Modern Warfare 3 and Battlefield 3 receive update packs this week, as both games continue to be two of the top-played games over Xbox LIVE, every week.
A handful of new XBLA games are also released this week, including Kung Fu Strike: The Warrior’s Rise, a Calligraphy-inspired over-the-top Martial Arts fighter, and Red Johnson’s Chronicles – One Against All, a Film Noir style Detective Adventure yarn.
