It also looks like there were 6 new games announced today for XBLA. No dates were given though. Mad Tracks looks like it will be fun. I am also happy to see a game with chess and checkers.

Six New Titles Coming to XBLA
posted Tuesday, May 08, 2007 9:02 AM by johnporcaro
Six more titles have been announced, coming later this year. From the same press release announcing Double Dragon:
· “Mad Tracks.” This 3-D racing party game from Load Inc. and D3Publisher recalls all the fun of playing with toy cars from childhood. Up to four players can race micro cars in a variety of gameplay modes in familiar settings such as a living room, a restaurant and a toy store.
· “Rush’n Attack.” Also known as “Green Beret,” from Konami Digital Entertainment Inc., this is a faithful next-generation update of this classic coin-op arcade title where the player assumes the role of a special forces agent sent behind enemy lines to infiltrate an enemy military complex and free captured prisoners of war.
· “Soltrio Solitaire.” From Silver Creek Entertainment, this is a collection of 18 different solitaire games, offering co-op and competitive two-player solitaire game modes.
· “Spyglass Board Games.” From Strange Flavour Ltd. and Freeverse, this offers classic versions of the world’s most beloved board games, including chess, checkers, mancala and reversi, as well as the ability to enjoy video chat with friends via the Xbox LIVE Vision camera.
· “Street Trace:NYC.” This is a hover board racing and arena battle game from Gaia Industries Inc. set against the urban wasteland of future New York City. Make your mark on the leaderboards in intense eight-player action over Xbox LIVE, or battle at home through split-screen or single-player tournaments.
· “Undertow.” This is a fast-paced action shooter from Chair Entertainment Group that thrusts players underwater as they battle for control of the oceans, and features a robust single player/co-op campaign and up to 16-player multiplayer action over Xbox LIVE.
Like all Xbox LIVE Arcade games, the above titles will have a free demo that will allow gamers to try out a game before deciding to buy. More details will be available closer to each title’s launch later this year.

Wow, I got my copy of Fusion Frenzy from that XBOX challenge in the mail today. I had totally forgotten about it and figured I was way too late to make the challenge. I had 10,000 points and got an additional 1500 (from the game Cars and I think Madden 06), but I didn't register well into a week into the competition but still got the game. I also got reward codes for both Contra and some picture pack, too. Sweet!

Looks like a pretty good update, with the achievements easily accessible with pics, having the game title show up (as well as achievements), and making it easy to IM (which I don't), but for me, all of the descriptions for TV/movies are showing up in French. When you go to the main menu for TV/movies, the titles look fine, but if you click on one, the title is in french (though the description is still in english).
Anyone else have this issue, or is it only a Canadian thing?

Ok I'm loving this Download Off/Background feature. 
You have to set it to "Enabled" in the "Auto off" menu in "Console settings". I just set up 3 game demo downloads, I turned the 360 off, and now I'm going to bed. 
I can tell it's still on and downloading but it's not all the way on.
