XBLA platformer EXIT is slowly becoming one of our favorite Arcade games and our reason for the praise is pretty simple ... free downloadable content! Yes sir, in this day and age of nickel and diming, EXIT stands strong, goes against the trend and is all about offering DLC for free. Starting today, EXIT owners can download the free "Additional Stage Pack 2" content which will add new Situations 18 through 22. Like we said, free DLC is always a win-win and puts a smile on our face. And if you haven't done so already, download EXIT's "Additional Stage Pack 1" as well. It's also free.

EXIT gets more (free) situation DLC
XBLA platformer EXIT is slowly becoming one of our favorite Arcade games and our reason for the praise is pretty simple ... free downloadable content! Yes sir, in this day and age of nickel and diming, EXIT stands strong, goes against the trend and is all about offering DLC for free. Starting today, EXIT owners can download the free "Additional Stage Pack 2" content which will add new Situations 18 through 22. Like we said, free DLC is always a win-win and puts a smile on our face. And if you haven't done so already, download EXIT's "Additional Stage Pack 1" as well. It's also free.
Speedball 2 and EXIT get some DLC love
Yesterday, new downloadable content became available for two Xbox Live Arcade games with one costing a few points while the other is being offered for free.For 150 Microsoft points Speedball 2 owners can purchase the "Super Star Players Pack" which will add three super-talented players to your single player game. These characters are said to be extremely talented which leads us to believe that this is a fancy way of selling a cheat code. You know, just saying. The second game to feel the warm glow of downloadable goodness is Arcade game EXIT. The EXIT "Additional Stage Pack 1" can be downloaded for free and it'll unlock five extra stages from 13 through 17. Both Arcade DLC offerings are ripe for the picking, so get your picking baskets prepared and pick away ... pick away!
Exit and Battlestar Galactica on XBLA
Ah, Xbox Live Arcade Wednesday. When you wake up you can just smell the fresh games. This week we've got two new entries for our favorite downloadable service, Exit and Battlestar Galactica. The latter provides sci-fi fans with a much needed something (or so we're told), while the former gives us a stylish, old school logic puzzler (oddly described as "pazzle action" in its dashboard description). So, you can either blast the Cylons to hell, or you can help various strangers escape there precarious predicaments. The choice is yours. We should probably note that either choice will set you back 800 MS Points.
Battlestar Galactica and Exit set for XBLA release
Battlestar Galactica will cost you 800 Microsoft points and feature lots of nostalgic Battlestar Galactica fighting moments, single and multiplayer gameplay and pretty much top off your Battlestar Galactica fanboy cup of excitement. The other 800 Microsoft point Arcade release, Exit, comes from TAITO Corporation and is a single player puzzle game with over 200 levels of fun that puts you in control of a hero named "Mr. ESC". And with a name like Mr. ESC you can almost guarantee that the level of corniness will be cranked up to twelve. But that's it for Arcade announcements today, now the only thing left for you to do is prepare for Battlestar Galactica Exit'nicity this Wednesday.
Rez and Ikaruga confirmed for XBLA
Proving that the Tokyo Game Show is about more than just announcing Ninja Gaiden 2, several new (and notably Japanese) games have been announced for Xbox Live Arcade. First and foremost among these are Lumines creator Tetsuya Mizuguchi's Rez and Treasure's Ikaruga. While Ikaruga's appearance on XBLA shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone who's been paying attention, Rez comes as a pretty big surprise. If you're not familiar with Rez, you're probably better off watching the video embedded after the break than having us attempt to explain it.
Microsoft also touted several other games for XBLA including EXIT (previously announced), Every Extend Extra Extreme (ditto), Omega Five (impressions), and Triggerheart Exelica (a shooter apparently). Things are looking up for XBLA, no?
PSP puzzler Exit coming to XBLA
According to XBLArcade, Taito announced in the latest Famitsu that it plans to bring its PSP puzzle game, Exit, to Xbox Live Arcade. The object of the game, appropriately enough, is to guide yourself and others to the exit of each level. The game employs a heavily stylized cel-shaded look, and is perhaps best described as "quirky." The Xbox Live Arcade version will feature brand new levels not found in the PSP version. For the moment, only a Japanese release has been confirmed at a price of 800 points. Hopefully, the western world will get a taste of Exit as well. Hit the "read" link to see a trailer for the game.
Alright Taito, how about some Bubble Bobble love on XBLA?
