This week, after announcing the arrival of MLB Stickball, Microsoft surprised us with two additional titles, Beat'n Groovy and Shadow Assault / Tenchu. Of the three games, let us tell you that Beat'n Groovy is definitely the standout title this week. Let us tell you also that it's the standout title for all the wrong reasons. That should really be the takeaway from this week's XBLA In Brief, even if the other two are decent (particularly Shadow Assault) games. Hear our take on all three in the video above.

Ah, another sweet, sweet episode of XBLA in Brief. This week we take a look at the latest puzzle offering TiQal. That's not too surprising. After all, we do it for every new XBLA release. What is surprising: TiQal is actually a pretty decent puzzle game. Check out the video and see for yourself.

XBLA in Brief returns this week with a two-for-one look at both Bliss Island and Brain Challenge. Bliss Island is a strange collection of boring mini-games that clocks in at 400 MS points. Brain Challenge is a pretty good knockoff of Brain Age for the Nintendo DS. One of them is actually entertaining. That game is not Bliss Island. We'll give you one guess as to which game was halfway decent. Watch the video above and rejoice in the fact that you will never have to play Bliss Island.

In the latest episode of X3F TV, we take a hands-on look at Dark Sector. In the video, we discuss the game's interesting mechanics, the single player campaign and also touch on Dark Sector's unique multiplayer mode. Overall, Dark Sector is shaping up to be a decent and, perhaps more importantly, different third person shooter. Check out the video and share your feedback in the comments.

For the latest edition of XBLA in Brief -- where we take a look at the trial versions of the latest Xbox Live Arcade games -- we're doing something a little different. Rather than type up a long summary of a three minute trial game, we've put together a video that highlights everything you need to know. Please, enjoy our look at Triggerheart Exelica, and tell us what you think of us using video for XBLA in Brief.

This video is also our latest episode of X3F TV, and subscribers to the 360 Fancast will receive it via their aggregator of choice. The M4V is also available for download right here. The high resolution streaming version can be found by clicking the "read" link.

It's time for the second installment of X3F TV everyone. For this episode, we have hands-on impressions of Sacred 2 from GDC08. Longtime readers may remember that we saw the game at GDC07 last year. We can honestly say that the fantasy hack-and-slash has come a long way during the last year. But why waste words when a video can tell you so much more? Enjoy our video hands-on and tell us what you think. Subscribers to the Xbox 360 Fancast will also receive the video via their aggregator of choice and the M4V file can be downloaded directly as well, so feel free to watch it on your favorite personal media player (in a much higher resolution).
