I am really excited for the new content coming Wednesday the 7th of July because not only does it bring a new/old favorite game of mine from childhood but also brings with it content for another great game from my childhood so here goes..
Quick mention on recently released stuff:
The Toy Soldiers DLC is already out - The Kaiser's Battle add-on lets you play as the French army, fight a new boss, play on new maps and unlock three new Achievements.
Yay. French "army". Hah.
No thanks.
Lets get to the good shit.
First up there is:

[quote=link above]Microsoft has announced that rejuvenated point-and-click classic Monkey Island 2 Special Edition: LeChuck's Revenge will launch on Xbox Live Arcade next Wednesday, on July 7th, for 800 MS Points. We've confirmed with LucasArts that the PC version -- distributed via Direct2Drive and Steam -- will also become available on July 7th, with the US PlayStation Network getting it one day sooner on July 6th. All versions will cost $10.
In this Special Edition, the Monkey Island milieu been instilled with all the modernity LucasArts could muster, including new high-definition art, fully voiced dialogue and a neat developer's commentary mode. As with the The Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition, you'll be able to switch between the new version and the game's original form at any time. We find the pixelated Zombie Pirate LeChuck to be more unsettling, but actually hearing him describe the "Screaming Chair" this time may change our minds.[/quote]
Secondly and which excites me just as much as the first if not more:

[quote=Link above]On Wednesday, July 7, the Worms 2 "Battle Pack" ($5) will be released and includes six new weapons, new speech banks, 10 new forts, a new "Survivor" game mode, more Achievements, new player titles, leaderboards and 30 new single-player missions. Sheesh -- you'd think Team17 would save something for a future DLC pack.[/quote]
All that for Worms 2 for 400 MSP is great. Having just bought 4200 MS points I am feeling quite fucking happy right now, so if anyone wants to play Worms 2 all night Wednesday, make sure to contact me on Facepunch or leave your gamertag here, I need more people to play Worms with, currently I only have one friend who has Worms, and it's not Armageddon :(
I hate how M$ won't let me use funds directly from my credit card but instead makes me buy their retarded M$ Points. Oh well, MI2 will be awesome.
Yeah it sucks, in the UK they only accept credit cards for payments so I have to do all mine either instore or at [url]www.gamepointsnow.com[/url]
It's a shame, I always miss out on those "buy XBL Gold for £1" deals because of it :(
MONKEY ISLAND 2?
HOLY SHIT I LOVED THE FIRST SPECIAL EDITIoN!
Ay! you didn;t talk about Blacklight: tango down

That is because it is a bit of a grey area when it comes to the release date.
