There are three games up for grabs on XBLA this week, and all of them offer something different. Encleverment Experiment (800
, $10) seeks to test your brain power as well as the brain power of your friends (or random strangers on Xbox Live). Meanwhile NBA Unrivaled (1200, $15) brings arcade basketball with massive dunks (and odd character animations). Finally, 0D Beat Drop (800, $10) … drops some rhythm-infused puzzle action onto XBLA. Watch the latest XBLA in Brief and see if any of them are up your alley.

Word has come down from on high, and
this week’s Xbox Live Arcade release is none other than
0D Beat Drop. What’s that, you’ve never heard of
0D Beat Drop? Truth be told, neither have we. Thankfully, the game’s Xbox.com page provides us all with the crucial details. If the above screenshot didn’t tip you off,
OD Beat Drop is a puzzle game; however, it has a musical twist, challenging players to drop pieces to the beat.
OD Beat Drop can even analyze your own songs for use in the game (Protip: It’s time to break out your
Tetris soundtrack). The game will be available this Wednesday for 800
($10).
Also, if Tecmo is to be believed, NBA Unrivaled will release on XBLA this week as well. It’s worth noting that the game was not included in Major Nelson’s XBLA announcement and that publishers are frequently mistaken about XBLA launch dates, so it’s anyone’s guess what Wednesday holds.
Update: Major Nelson has confirmed that 0D Beat Drop will be joined by both NBA Unrivaled (1200/$15) and Encleverment Experiment (800/$10) this week on XBLA.

Here at Joystiq we’re dedicated to solving the nagging mysteries in life, one post at a time. We figured learning the meaning of R.U.S.E., the acronym’d title of Ubisoft’s table-not RTS, was probably near the top of your list — right up there with, “Does the fridge light stay on when I close the door?”
We cornered Ubisoft’s Thomas Leroux-Hugon at the publisher’s “Holiday Preview” event yesterday and forced an answer out of him at penpoint. He didn’t know about the fridge light, but he did give us: Reveal Undermine Subvert Entrap (how revealing!) — before his lips curved into a coy smile (that undermining trickster!). The real answer, he teased, isn’t that obvious. You see, the acronym doesn’t officially stand for anything (what manner of subversion is this?!). It’s a bit of a “ruse” in and of itself — it’s up to each individual to play the game and decide, Leroux-Hugon offered — clearly, his bid to entrap us. Well played.
So then, we’ll leave it up to you: What does R.U.S.E. spell out?
