Marketplace content is pretty light today so we’ll ge that out of the way first:
- Kane & Lynch Fragile Alliance: Walk in the Park Trailer: Get a feel for the Xbox Live multiplayer component of the brutal new shooter from the developers behind Hitman. Sounds interesting this - you’re part of a band of bank robbers and you need to steal cash, then decide which of your associates you should do over - and which you should ally with! Free and available everywhere.
- Tomb Raider Anniversary DLC: Download the updated versions of Lara’s first adventures. There are two chunks both priced at 1200 MS Points to this, and you’ll need a copy of Tomb Raider: Legend to download and play them.
