XBLA releases for September 7, 2011

Quite a few interesting releases this week on Xbox Live Arcade. We even have the new incarnation of BloodRayne developed by WayForward Technologies. That should be interesting as they're they developers of games like Shantae and Contra for DS. As I would always suggest, check out the demos before you buy!

The target is a lavish, yet sinister ball in a secluded castle with plenty of dark and gruesome surprises. With the help of a mysterious friend, and members of Brimstone, Rayne must infiltrate the manor, take out the fiendish horde, and stop an evil master plot once and for all.
