As the first commenter on this post will assuredly point out, this is old news. The second commenter will likely correct him in a patronizing tone, reminding him that a requirement for news is that it be new, and that this story, therefore, is not news at all. The third commenter, a jocular fellow, will then inquire if it is, in fact, olds? We get it, alright? However, we've never failed to mention new additions to the Xbox Live Arcade, and we don't plan on starting this week. Besides, when you see these sterling new releases, we don't think you'll fault us for being a few days late to the new release party.
First up is Double D Dodgeball (800 MS points/$10), which recreates the classic playground sport with an eye-searing "retro arcade design". The game dropped two weeks before its expected release date, though a reported bug that kicks players off of Xbox Live upon starting up the game make us wonder if perhaps a few guns were jumped. Joining it is Coffeetime Crosswords (800 MS points/$10). With 150 puzzles and a co-op mode, this new entry will surely fulfill all your sinister linguiphilic desires.
Rounding out the list is the EA Fantasy Football Live Draft Tracker (400 MS points/$5), which allows users of EA's online fantasy leagues to import their league settings, draft new players, then export their new rosters back onto EA's servers. This is not a game, and we regret including it in this post.

Because the first post doesn't say that, will the timeline implode now?

Double D dodgeball sounds like a game of women with big boobs playing dodgeball.

In order to correct the timeline, I must patronizingly point out that you are incorrect. News must be new, and therefore this story is not news at all.

The crossword game has the most astonishingly bad user interface that the world has *ever* seen. Really, it's worth downloading just so you can say "WTF!!?"
Trust me!

Fun fact: That Fantasy Football Live Draft Tracker is free on PSN.

Double D Dodgeball is not dodge ball. Yukes, stick to putting out shitty wrestling games based on the mediocre Touken Retsuden engine and leave dodge ball alone.
