After reading IGN's review, it may be best to avoid Boogie Bunnies.

Poker Smash - 800 points
Also Crystal Quest will receive a free gameplay update, here's the press release:

Quote:
 
Developer Stainless Games has added a fresh twist to the puzzle action by incorporating a score multiplier. This update will make the game slicker and faster than before and opens up the possibility of even higher scores!

The score multiplier increases every time gamers pick up a crystal, but failing to pick up a crystal or getting zapped negates the multiplier. To keep a level playing field, old Leaderboards will be retired after the update, but will still be viewable for posterity’s sake. The update also includes improvements to downloadable content, which is part of Stainless Games’ ongoing commitment to constantly improve the player experience.

Next week(13/02) will be the release of Discs of Tron

In Discs of Tron, players find themselves in a three-dimensional arena where they are tasked with knocking the villain Sark off a platform by throwing discs. Expectedly, the further you progress, the more difficult the challenge becomes. It includes both classic and enhanced modes and features the following offline multiplayer modes: Classic Versus (highest score wins), Speed Versus (player to reach determined score first wins), Co-op (two players’ scores combined for leader board results) and Deadly Disc Versus (players play simultaneously and power-ups help one player or hinder another).

The game will cost you 400MSP



Also released this week is Commanders: Attack of the Genos for 800MSP

Quote:
 
“Commanders: Attack of the Genos” is a fast-paced turn-based strategy game featuring an art deco look and tongue-in-cheek storyline. The game requires players to devise a masterful tactical battle strategy to both cripple the enemy and defend their territory from genos, a genetically modified super race. Fight alongside a powerful Commander, which serves as a hero unit, in the 15-mission campaign with an arsenal of weapons including missile launchers, bombers and infantry in this turn-based strategy game.

Featuring a 1930’s art deco look and feel, “Commanders: Attack of the Genos” offers two unique endings, two difficulty levels and 15 diverse playable units to keep gamers coming back for more. “Commanders: Attack of the Genos” allows players to either challenge or team up with three friends in battle locally or over Xbox LIVE.

800 points



The game is free on the net, so I think 800 points is a bit steep.

For each question, bet on the answer you think is closest to the truth, whether or not that answer is your own. Use your knowledge of trivia, your intuition, and the odds to help decide where to bet!

This Wednesday will be the release of Penny Arcade Adventures: On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness: Episode One.

Quote:
 
Penny Arcade Adventures: Episode One comes from the Penny Arcade creators Mike “Gabe” Krahulik and Jerry “Tycho” Holkins who promise the Arcade game retains the humour and ludicrousness of the famed comics. As the title of the game indicates, Episode One is the first installment in a planned series for the Xbox Live Arcade.

Features

* Create-A-Player system: Create and develop your very own character to participate in the adventure.
* Episodic content: Penny Arcade Adventures keeps the fun going with new material released regularly, with pick up and play capabilities from any episode, and the ability to carry over your character’s appearance, stats, and inventory from episode to episode.
* Dynamic combat: The turn-based combat system features over-the-top animations and team-up moves during enemy battles.
* Role-playing adventure: The classic adventure-style gameplay combines with RPG elements for a mysterious and puzzling good time.
* Twisted goodness: The crazed geniuses behind Penny Arcade promise a thrilling and wild ride, with story and dialogue written by written by Jerry “Tycho” Holkins and art by Mike “Gabe” Krahulik. Working with Gabe and Tycho of the Startling Developments Detective Agency, it will be your job to resolve the chaos and solve the mysteries of New Arcadia.

Not only has it the longest title for a XBLA game, it also has the highest price as well, a staggering 1600MSP

Two games will be hitting the Arcade this Wednesday:

The first will be Feeding Frenzy 2 and I'm guessing like the first game, players move a fish around eating smaller fishes while avoiding being eaten by bigger fishes.

The second game is Domino Master. The game features five different domino variants - Mexican Train, All 3s, All 5s, Straight Dominoes, and Bergen - as well as the ability to set custom rules so that you can create your own game types. The game is played either single player (against AI's) or upto 4 players via LIVE.
The game is developed by Tikgames who also developed the popular Texas Hold 'em.

Both games will be 800MSP each.

Couldn't care less about Feeding Frenzy 2 but may check out the Domino game.

This week’s Xbox Live Arcade release has been confirmed as Doritos Dash of Destruction. The game is listed as a fun and fast-paced racing game and will get players delivering Doritos whilst avoiding a T-Rex and vice versa. Sounds great doesn’t it?
Oh and it's free.

Christmas Eve

If you thought the amazing Dash of Destruction was the last arcade game to be released before Santa drops his fat arse down your chimney, eats the mince pies,drinks the sherry and throws up on your cat/dog then you would be wrong.
Puzzle Arcade will be released Christmas Eve for the price of 800MSP

Here's the official page

Not sure if to get this or not.
There is no multiplayer and the achievements look fairly easy to get.
But you do get to collect gold and can be used to upgrade your weapon when the retail version is released. (much like fable 2:pub games did).
