Arcade Next continues this week with the arrival of the bloody and gory - and appropriately named - Bloodforge, which brings its own brand of pitch black hack 'n' slash to the Xbox Live Arcade. You can also get your hands on sci-fi shooter Deep Black: Episode 1 this week. There's also FIFA 12's UEFA Euro 2012 expansion, which adds all of the Euro 2012 licenses to the game, including kits, teams, players and stadia, as well as the new Expedition mode that enables you to take your dream team around Europe. You'll find new add-ons for Soul Calibur V too, some episodes for Asura's Wrath and more. And to celebrate the NBA playoffs, there's discounts on NBA Jam: On Fire Edition and other NBA stuff. Modern Warfare 3 also gets a one week discount for Games on Demand, going down to 3200 Microsoft Points [thanks to Xero Shinobi for the tip], which isn't too shabby. Finally, Dead Rising 2: Off the Record hits Games on Demand, and demos of both Ninja Gaiden 3 and Dragon's Dogma hit Xbox Live, rounding out a pretty decent week.

Staff Response Will Close This Thread as website mentioned doesn't even exist

The in house beta was 2 weeks ago for microsoft employees, wondered what the willy wonka style tickets for beta would be

Very interesting listening to the Sparkast 12 from last week Ive posted it up here. They mention a possible very limited Halo 4 Beta, they refer to a Willy Wonka style beta, so for an elite few. Ideas on that

Wonder if Batman Arkham City GOTY edition will have seperate achievements like Arkham Asylum GOTY edition did?

Like to seem them back and as above have them unlock for doing certain things jn campaign and matchmaking, so they are like a badge of honor.

Nice work Loving the variety of them as well

have you ever registered on the playfire site? if so just close your account.

Glad to see KSI are still thriving to keep the good name they had, with regards to manners etc. I have run into you folks quite a bit over the years... Glad to see your still going strong

Would explain the sudden emergence of AuroraCygnus! Im hoping they do a live action trailer the same as Halo Reach Deliver Hope! I still watch that trailer now.

Custom Challenges are the wya my friend, high targets, low hours. and watch the cR roll in, just remember to cash them in when completed

Nice Cupman, look forward to 500 more

I got one! (Surprise Surprise)

OP. Hello and welcome to forums. I've removed your personal details from thread for safety.

Starting on Friday and ending on Sunday, hopping into the Big Team Battle playlist will present you with the chance of receiving a 20,000-credit bonus. And who couldn’t use that?

Microsoft's Xbox Live Arcade Next promotion kicks off this week, with perhaps one of the year's biggest XBLA releases: Trials Evolution. Boasting a remarkably powerful track creator, multiplayer modes and more new features than you can shake a dirt bike at, the latest Trials really does look like the dog's wotsits. A snip at just 1200 Microsoft Points. There's a whole bunch of add-ons to check out as usual too, with Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning's Teeth of Naros DLC bringing a whole new island to explore with new enemies, weapons and more. Then there's a glut of more Ninja Gaiden 3 gubbins, the next batch of Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City Spec Ops missions (the ones that'll cost you), some UFC 3 packs and some other stuff to leaf through. Then next week brings with it the UEFA Euro 2012 expansion pack for FIFA 12 and a demo of Dragon's Dogma. The less said about the next two Deal of the Week promotions however, the better. Suffice to say, they ain't all that great. Take a look at what's on offer this week and the next.

It seems that 343 Industries' efforts to shake up Halo 4's multiplayer with new modes and an overhauling of classic game types will also see the introduction of a new mode called 'Regicide', in which one player assumes the role of King and everyone else seeks to usurp his throne and kill him. It's like Game of Thrones in space. The new mode is revealed in a video interview with Halo 4's Lead Multiplayer Designer, Brad Welch over on Game Informer, detailing a twist on the free-for-all deathmatch. Killing the King in Regicide grants you the huge bounty upon their head, while killing the other players will still grant you a point apiece. The bounty on the King's head increases as the match progresses, until they're dead. There's also rumours echoing around the web that later today will see a major Halo 4 announcement, with reports suggesting that a November 6th, 2012 release date might be revealed. Rest assured we'll have the news for you as soon as it drops this afternoon.

and the people that spent months unlocking it suddently breakdown lol. glad i waited lol
