I just want to say thank you for hanging on with me. I know I have been sneaking off to play Minecraft throughout the week, but that is one addicting game. On to the point, here are this week’s new releases for the Xbox 360.
Just as a warning for the XBLA game. You will need an internet connection and a Gold Xbox LIVE membership to play it.
