    Has anyone heard any news on this week's update? I didn't see new unlocks or game packs this morning. I feel like Game Room is a dieing child that needs constant nourishment. Is this its death rattle?

    Considering they have plans to roll out thousands of games, I'd seriously doubt they would cut support now.

    Yeah sometimes when I've been trying to get something off XBLA it was released later on in the day, with this being a new pack (I imagine) it might take more time to get it up & running. I was prepared to get a list of the new ones to put up here but will have to wait a little while.

    Probably be like that one week they didn't get games out, then the following week the games appeared, though it does get annoying they announce weekly releases but they are everything but. 
     
    They have a post on the xbox forums for Game Room stating that the pack is delayed, doesn't say for how long though, list of upcoming games are only five: 
     
    Missle Command(Atari arcade) 
    Mr. Kabuki aka Mr. Goeman(Konami arcade) 
    Frog Bog(INTV) 
    Skiing(Activision) 
    Video Pinball(Atari 2600)

    @Blkthorne: I'd get the first 3 of those on the list right away. 
     
    I hate having these delays, wonder if it is more Krome or Microsoft's doing seeing as they had to get the licensing rights for these games a long long time ago.

    Damn, wouldn't mind a little Missile Command, though an updated version would be even better.  Eh, what can you do?

    Those games listed by  Blkthorne    are it for this week from the look of it. The description had a lot to it when you download game pack 5 listed a higher quantity of games on it so I imagine next week's games are much more than this.
     
    Missle Command(Atari arcade) 
    Mr. Kabuki aka Mr. Goeman(Konami arcade) 
    Frog Bog(INTV) 
    Skiing(Activision) 
    Video Pinball(Atari 2600)
