No joke, people — Rush ‘n Attack and Xevious are coming to the Xbox Live Arcade. Those of you who have the Wii have already had the chance to throw down and own some rings via the Wii Virtual Console, but now it’s our turn to get a crack at the game.

And my turn to own everyone on my friend’s list. But I digress.

Here is what you’ll be getting with these two games… after the break, because I can:

Crackdown Delay: We Know!
Posted by Frankie at 5/16/2007 5:22 AM PDT
With any luck this will be a short delay. People enetering the Beta through other methods - Friends and Family, Rule of Three and so on, are unaffected.

Yes, you read that right, Friends and Family, Rule of Three and so on.. are safe. Even I have done my “Towel Trick” three times just to get in one game of the Beta. And man, it is good. I need to of course get used to the controls, but now when playing, there is just a whole other level to Halo, great strategy mixed with complete chaos.

Now that the important part is out of the way. The game seems to be a 2-D side-scrolling space shooter (Contra fans come out of hiding). Up to 4 players can play at once. Hey, its a free game, check it out!. Thanks to xbox360fanboy for making me aware of this (among a few other blogs).

For all of you GR:AW 2 fans out there, you may have heard about the new downloadable content that was released for the game recently. Well, if you are still hesitant about whether or not to pick it up, this video may sell you on all of it. As for the content itself, it goes for a cool 800 MS Points. Not bad for seven maps.

Title Update Items (see very in depth descriptions @ teamxbox)

Reset Gangs.
Easier Orb Hunting (Sounds to help you hear when you are near)
Ground Strike (A new move!)
Improved firing over low walls.
Targeting enhancements.
Those damn fire hydrants!: The fire hydrants were near indestructible but were also hard to spot. Now, though still best avoided, they can be smashed over for a far less unreasonable penalty.
Stunt Rings are now much easier to locate.
Persisting Charges & Mines: Limpet Charges (and the new Proximity Mines) will persist at all times within the game world and not just when within a certain range of the player.

Oh man, there is so many more updates listed, you really have to check the page. So many details listed, they really got the full scoop, check it @ teamxbox

58 Tracks all by the original artists. Seems to be encoded at 192kbps or above. They even include the bonus tracks. Thanks to the uploader!

The catch… its a Torrent file. Also, Xbox360Rally is hosting none of these files, so download at your own discretion.

P.S. If you are new to Bit Torrent and need help, see this link for a good tutorial video. If you have any other questions, leave comments on this story and I will try to reply to help you out.

Look for a big treat in part two coming shortly..

This Thursday, all you Gears freaks are in for a treat. Epic Games has announced that four new maps are ready for download, and will be available for you all for 800 MS Points starting Thursday. Those four maps are…

Blood Marsh: A single, old generator powers the lights around a Kryll-infested swampland. Should a few bullets from an untrained n00b strike the generator, you are left to fend for yourselves against the Kryll.

Subway: Locusts fill the tunnels of the once great Central Subway of Timgad.

Process: Teams fight against each other for control of this subterranean processing plant.

Garden: An overgrown and crumbling conservatory that still has a working fertilization and pesticide system. If you do not shut the fertilization systems down, you would be wise to not breathe.

Major Nelson brought a bit of sunshine into our dark world today, when he announced on his blog that the new Hero and Villain packs for Marvel Ultimate Alliance are, at last, on the marketplace. Individually, each set runs for 500 MS Points, but combined they only cost you 800 MS. And if you don’t already know, here’s what you get with the two packs:

Heroes (seen above):
Nightcrawler
Hawkeye
The Incredible Hulk
Cyclops

Villains:
Dr. Doom (WTF?)
Sabertooth
Magneto
Venom

If you haven’t picked up MUA yet, but plan to in the near future — hold off a month. By the end of May, a new version of MUA is due out that will have the four characters boxed with it — not to mention new achievements for all you point whores out there.

Look at that screenshot right there. Yeah, pretty, isn’t it? Well, that’s a screenshot a developer posted of the upcoming Crackdown download that will be soon available on Xbox Live. This screenshot implies that, at the very least, the download will give us a new vehicle, and at most, a whole new type of gameplay to add a little longevity to the impressively popular title.

By the way, if you haven’t picked up Crackdown, you still have time to enter our contest for a free copy! Do it! NOW!
