The XBLA offers up two new games today: GripShift and Arkadian Warriors. Each game is available for 800 Microsoft Points ($10) or as a free demo trial. GripShift is a fun racing game, mixing in puzzle elements. I've played it on the Playstation 3 before and enjoyed the varied race tracks (there's lots!) and getting trophies to unlock more goodies. It also was available on the PSP. Arkadian Warriors sounds like a modern day "Dungeon Explorer," but definitely better looking graphics and unique shape-shifting abilities.
About GripShift: Through a mix of sky-high platforming and stunt driving, “GripShift” combines automotive and puzzle solving skills across 120 challenging levels, 25 rubber burning race tracks and 20 deadly deathmatch arenas across four themed worlds. Zoom to victory with four players over Xbox LIVE or race solo, all while enjoying a customizable music experience! Choose your driver, unlock faster vehicles and customize your ride with new skins.

About Arkadian Warriors: Three heroic shape-shifting warriors fight to release the Land of Arkadia from the evil Gorgon’s stony gaze. In the uniquely expansive “Arkadian Warriors,” randomly generated dungeons and cooperative multiplayer hack & slash action enhances a deep single-player campaign. The robust cooperative multiplayer mode is available for two players both locally and over Xbox LIVE. Upgrading is key as players hone their skills, acquire loot and master powerful magic spells and numerous deadly weapons in a journey of mythical proportions.
