Xbox LIVE Newsbeat 18th-31st October 2012

It is that time of the month again when Microsoft unveils the details of all of the new titles, add-ons and extras that will be coming to Xbox LIVE over the coming weeks. This week,proceedings are all taking a very Halloween-tinged theme. For example, for the rest of October, Xbox LIVE will experience Shocktober – where gamers will be treated to frightfully good discounts on a selection of Monster and Zombie-based content.

For those of you who might not be so excited about the aforementioned Autumn Horror holiday, there is other great content coming out, like the Missing Link DLC for Deus Ex: Human Revolution or the Batman: Arkham City Catwoman Bundle Pack (which will be free to all gamers who buy a sealed copy of the game – but pre-owned gamers will need to buy it seperately). Also, don’t forget that classic SEGA Arcade game Daytona USA is speeding onto Xbox LIVE later in the month, to satisfy your rally driving craving. All in all, there is a lot of good stuff to watch out for over the coming weeks, both new experiences and extras for your favourite titles.
