News: Along with 0D Beat Drop and Encleverment Experiment.

Microsoft has announced they will be adding a trio of new games to the Xbox Live Arcade this Wednesday, November 11.

NBA Unrivaled, Tecmo's take on the NBA Jam-style of "extreme" basketball will headline this week's releases. For 1200 Microsoft Points ($15) gamers will be able to fill their Momentum Gauge ("He's heating up") and go into Momentum Mania ("He's on fire!") with any of the 30 NBA teams.

Also available this week will be 0D Beat Drop, a rhythm puzzle game that combines musical cues and block dropping action for 800 Microsoft Points ($10). And finally, Encleverment Experiment, a trivia/puzzle game for players of all ages will be added to the XBLA for 800 Microsoft Points ($10).

More information on all three titles can be found below.

0D Beat Drop
Developer: Cyclone Zero
Publisher: Arc System Works
The fusion of "rhythm" and "puzzle" creates a completely new kind of game in 0D Beat Drop! Drop pieces along with the beat, and go for the win with explosive chains. In addition to the single player mode with over 100 stages, online play includes options such as playing against a single player, playing with four players total, or having a team battle! The unique "Beat-O-Matic" function analyzes your own songs and lets you use them in the game. Feel the rhythm of the beat!

Encleverment Experiment
Developer: Blitz Arcade
Publisher: Blitz Arcade
Encleverment Experiment, an Avatar-supported original title for 1-4 players, is a fun and challenging Уbattle of witsФ hosted by the eccentric Professor Ivor Question in his funky laboratory. Players get to test their memory, reflexes, and dexterity responding to rapid-fire questions with multiple answers to choose among. The game's questions range from easy (for gamers starting age 5) to difficult (for adult gamers) making Encleverment Experiment a great game for children, teens, and adults playing alone or in groups, and it's an ideal game for families to play together.
