American Idol fans will be thrilled with another huge update to Karaoke Revolution: American Idol with over another 20 new songs available at 120 points each. Talk about a ton of songs that are downloadable content…the game is up to 40+ downloadable songs….you could spend $60 just on songs! Wow.

For racing fans, two games have updates: first there’s the Forza Motorsport 2 March Car Pack. For $5, you can get thirteen new cars including the 1971 BMW Motorsport, obviously released in honor of the year I was born. The other new packs are for Need for Speed Pro Street, a game which wasn’t well received, but hey, there’s new content which will set you back $6 for each pack so there’s that going for you.

Rounding out the content are two title updates: the one for Bully Scholarship edition fixes a lot of the glitches that have been there since release (yay!) and a pretty big update for Rock Band – now you have the ability to view the songs through the game’s music store. It’s a very sweet interface and really helps you pick the songs you like – well done!

Well that wraps up another week of downloads. Have a great week and keep your joysticks in your lap.
