This week on Xbox Live Marketplace, the new Xbox Live Arcade game is Carcassonne, based on the popular board game, for $10. There's also new Grand Theft Auto IV content including a second trailer, theme and picture pack -- and they're all free. Wow, marketing content you don't have to pay for... what is the world coming to?! You know, I was on the fence about the collector's edition for this game, but now I might just spring for it. A little good will goes a long way.Other new downloads include:
