Battlefield 3/Double Dragon Neon/Mark of the Ninja/Xbox 360/Xbox Live

A pair of very different, action games hit Xbox Live this week. Double Dragon is all bare-knuckle action, while Mark of the Ninja takes to the shadows. It’s a very solid week for Live overall with those two games, Red Johnson Chronicles (great name, or greatest name ever?) and the…
