There's some festive spirit on the Xbox Live Marketplace this week and next week, with a couple of free chunks of content in the shape of Kinect Party on XBLA (free for the rest of the month) and wintry free add-on for Full House Poker. Although the deals are unseasonably tropical with both Tropico and Serious Sam discounts turning up the heat. On XBLA this week, you'll be able to test your brain power with Mensa or enjoy a brutal pantomime with Black Knight Sword, the latest surreal creation to emerge from the brainpan of Suda 51 and his Grasshopper Manufacture studio. You'll also find Resident Evil 6 DLC that adds new modes, new characters for Guardians of Middle-earth, the Forza Horizon Rally Expansion Pack, Battlefield 3: Aftermath and a festive skin pack for Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition. And finally, there's a bunch of sales coming this week and next week. Check it all out below.
