Xbox Gaming in South Africa

It's Tuesday! It's Xbox LIVE Marketplace Day! That's my marketing buzz, and I'm proud of it. There's a bunch of new stuff out today, so (drumroll)...

Dead Rising 2: CASE ZERO

Get a taste of what Dead Rising 2 has to offer in this full-featured prologue! Chuck Greene and his daughter Katey have barely escaped the Las Vegas zombie outbreak with their lives. They arrive in the lonely desert town of Still Creek looking for some rest, but unfortunately there is no rest to be had as this sleepy town has become overrun with zombies. Chuck must kill zombies, rescue survivors and escape from the zombie nightmare that is Still Creek before time runs out. Any PP, clothing, and Combo Cards gained in CASE ZERO will carry over into your Dead Rising 2 game!

That's 400 MSP, and you can grab it here (825 MB).

BioShock 2: Minerva's Den

Minerva's Den offers a brand-new, self-contained BioShock story, presenting a side of Rapture you've never seen before. Seek out the tools you'll need to unlock new goals and spaces in the order you choose. Face Rapture's full range of opposition as you increase in power---a new challenge is always right around the corner. Expand your combat abilities with the experimental Ion Laser and chaotic Gravity Well Plasmid, unique to Minerva's Den. Face off against the new Lancer Big Daddy, the most advanced Protector that Rapture ever produced. Explore every shadowy corner of Minerva's Den, unraveling the mysterious past of The Thinker's inventor, and the dark secrets hidden within the unfeeling, omniscient machine he created.

It's 800 MSP, and you can harpoon it over here, Big Daddy (1 GB).

Kane & Lynch 2: The Doggie Bag DLC

Take on new heists and unlock new Achievement points with 2 never before seen Shanghai maps & 5 exclusive new weapons, all for Multiplayer & Arcade modes. New maps: Dockyard and High Rise provide more opprtunity to increase your wealth. Plus get the Radio Tower multiplayer map (available previously through pre-order offers). Arm yourself with 5 new weapons: DD 33, KL Viper, RTS, SMi 69, and the TOQ Model Four S.

That's also 800 MSP, and you can get it here (443 MB).

Vanquish demo (Gold subscribers only; US only)

VANQUISH OFFICIAL DEMO - VELOCITY ATTACK is set in the landing bay of the Providence Space Colony in a desperate fight to gain control of the facility. But the enemy has more in store as the massive Argus robot emerges to dominate the battlefield.

That's totally free, of course, but it's currently limited to US accounts only. Everyone else will get a chance tomorrow, though. Download over here (467 MB).
