Xbox LIVE Newsbeat 1st-14th November 2012

Microsoft like to keep gamers regularly up-to-date with the latest arrivals and offers across Xbox LIVE, and the latest Newsbeat update has now arrived. Just like the last update, this one too has a slightly Batman-tinged look to it, what with the new Nightwing Challenge Pack bundle being available for purchase this week.

The next two weeks are comparitively slow weeks in terms of new Arcade game releases however, what with only the re-working of a classic title – Burger Time World Tour, and Fuison: Genesis seeing release over the next fortnight. What gamers can look forward to however is the continuation of the recent Horror theme in Newsbeat as well, as we see another see of Dead Rising DLC arrive, in the form of some new outfits and skill packs. These extras alter your abilities in-game, making certain things much easier for the player.

Perhaps in the most exciting news of the week, there are some new Avatar items coming to the Avatar Marketplace, based around the release of new grappling game WWE 12. Once again, we are offered up the chance to dress up as our favourite wrestlers and do our best Hulk Hogan impressions in our front room. Or is that just me? Anyway…
