News: Two new titles heading to Xbox Live Arcade this Wednesday, one is free.

Microsoft has announced this Wednesday's Xbox Live Arcade double release with one free game being put up for download.

The first game is called Yaris and has been designed to promote Toyota's new models of the same name. While not a standard feature in the new models, the vehicle in the game will feature a tentacle which can shoot robots in the Wipeout style game coming to the American and Canadian Xbox Live Marketplaces.

Next up is Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords, a puzzle-RPG previously featured on PlayStation Portable and Nintendo DS, which will cost 1200 Microsoft Points. From Xbox.com:
