Xbox LIVE update -- 'The Misadventures of Duke Nukem 2K10' edition

This was a pretty healthy week for LIVE. We got PB Winterbottom, the MLB 2K10 demo, and the armory add-on for Borderlands. Not too shabby...





Arcade

Price: 800 Microsoft Points

Dash Text: Swiping the mysterious Chronoberry Pie changed everything for our beloved Winterbottom... one bite made him more than an ordinary pie-grabbing humbug. That first taste changed him into something quite extraordinary, granting him the ability to break the rules of time. With these newfound time recording tricks up his cufflink, and with the help of his time clones, Winterbottom can now snatch pies with the greatest of ease. But on his journey to devour every pie, Winterbottom must mind the signs... the perils of being unstuck in time. Join Winterbottom on his award winning debut Misadventures as he chases pie through over 75 unique puzzles. There are no refunds for this item. For more information, see www.xbox.com/live/accounts

Dash Text: Dr. Diggabone's getting too old for archaeological digs, or so he says.

Beware those thieves, minions and traps, though. Without any challenge, you'd just grow lazy… and we wouldn’t want that, now would we?

DLC

Borderlands
Content: Secret Armory
Price: 800 Microsoft Points
Availability: Not available in Germany and Japan
Dash Text: Description: Borderlands goes to ELEVEN! You may have seen some games raise their level cap by 5, or maybe even 10, but with The Crimson Lance Assassination Squads wreaking havoc and Crawmerax the Invincible being all invulnerable and stuff we knew you'd need more than just 10. And that's why Borderlands goes to ELEVEN! The Secret Armory of General Knoxx is an addon pack for Borderlands that adds new guns, new Class Mods, new vehicles, new missions, new enemy types, and increases the level cap to 61. In other words…best addon ever. Of all time. Forever. The End. ELEVEN!
