Out now on XBLA: Double D Dodgeball, Coffeetime Crosswords, and more photo

The surprise E3 Xbox LIVE Arcade game turned out to be none other than Double D Dodgeball (800 Microsoft Points). I'm sorry to disappoint, but if you think this is anything like Dead or Alive Xtreme 2, you're sadly mistaken. Simply put, it's a retro-style 8-person dodgeball title with Space Giraffe-esque visuals.

The second XBLA release for this week is Coffeetime Crosswords (800 Microsoft Points). It has got more than 150 puzzles of varying skill level, as well as co-op for 2 players. Yes, that's really all there is to say about it.

Next, there's EA Sports Fantasy Football Live Draft Tracker (400 Microsoft Points), which is available to the U.S. and Canada only. By creating your league here, you can then import your settings into the Live Draft Tracker, which will keep track of your stats throughout the season on Xbox LIVE.

Finally, Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords has been reduced in price to 800 points, and a free pack for Buku Sudoku containing 1,200 puzzles has hit the Marketplace.

There are so many new entries to XBLA this week, yet I won't be buying anything. How about you?

That's all I needed to hear to know I should avoid Double D Dodgeball. I freakin' hated Space Giraffe's visuals.

The only XBLA game I would consider buying is Geometry Wars.
