XBLA update - Quarrel and Puddle

SHARE THIS ARTICLE Tweet

If you like puzzle games, you're going to love this week's Xbox Live Arcade update since it's all about the brain gain. For physics puzzle fans, there's Puddle – guide liquid through mazes while avoiding traps, obstacles and other problems - for just 800 Microsoft Points, while frantic word war Quarrel is available for just 400 MSP. If you're not sure whether it's worth that, you can read our review of it by clicking here.

Sadly, the Games On Demand offering for the week isn't anywhere near as inspiring since it's headlined by the frankly awful Duke Nukem Forever (£19.99) and backed up by the lacklustre Gray Matter (£14.99) and the totally average Crash Time 4 - The Syndicate. Sorry we can't be any more positive than that, but better that you save your money, eh?

Over in the Deal Of The Week section, it's all about LA Noire - specifically, 50 per cent off pretty much everything to do with the game. All the DLC cases (Reefer Madness, Nicholson Electroplating, A Slip Of The Tongue and The Naked City) all go down to 160 MSP while the Sharpshooter and Broderick Detective suits go down to just 40 MSP. Finally, the Button Man Suit/Badge Pursuit Challenge combo is dropped to just 80MSP.

And don't forget, there's also the small matter of the UFC Undisputed 3 demo which went up yesterday, meaning you can bash your way around the Octagon in preparation for the full game's release next month. Check out the review in next month's 360 Gamer, coming to you really soon...
