The Xbox LIVE Marketplace is atwitter with yet another big release week. Four more titles hit the service today including the ‘free’ game that you’ll be receiving (if you haven’t already) if you bought all of the Summer of Arcade games within the window of opportunity.

My pick of the week has to be BloodRayne Betrayal. A beautifully drawn and animated 2D hack’n’slash that might just finally bring a little relevance to the long dormant BloodRayne series.

*note- Betrayal was supposed to have been delayed for XBLA until October, but a quick check shows that it is available right now. (at least it is in North America.)

• Crimson Alliance- A very nice looking four player co-op action/RPG. Also the freebie if you jumped through all the right Summer of Arcade hoops.
• Bloodrayne: Betrayal– If you read the above, then you already know my thoughts on this one.
• Leedmees– A very interesting little Kinect game that has you positioning your body to guide little characters across the screen to safety. Think Lemmings.
• Skydrift– A combat racing title reminds me a lot of Crimson Skies. Nice look to it too-
