Definitely file this one under "Late To The Party" news, but the Gamerscore Blog announced this morning this weeks releases.
As we reported last week, the TV show inspired Battlestar Galactica will be arriving this week, but what we didn't know, was that Tatio's Exit will be joining it. On top of that, Uno has been updated with a couple of near features including Big Button support (Not that you can pick up Scene it yet)

You can check out the full press release after the break:
The battle between good and evil continues this week as “Battlestar Galactica” comes to Xbox LIVE Arcade. Inspired by the hit television series of the same name, “Battlestar Galactica” lets players choose their own path – be the hero and defend Galactica or join the dark side with the ruthless Cylons. In the thrilling puzzle action game, “Exit,” players will need to think fast to save lives as the heroic Mr. ESC. Both games will be available on Xbox LIVE Arcade this Wednesday, October 24, 2007 at 9:00 a.m. GMT (2:00 a.m. PDT).
“Battlestar Galactica,” developed by Australian-based Auran Games, involves intense space battles as players choose to side with either the Humans or Cylon forces. Piloting iconic ships from the Viper II to the Heavy Raider, players lead a squadron through fast-action multiplayer space combat or can play through the intense single-player campaign based on memorable episodes from the TV series, including the riveting first episode of the continuing series, “33,” and the 2007 Emmy Award-winning episode, “Exodus.” “Battlestar Galactica” features both single and multi-player modes for up to eight players, skill-based matchmaking and leaderboards. The game will be available worldwide, with the exception of Korea, for 800 Microsoft Points and is rated E10+.

Developed by Taito, “Exit” stars Mr. ESC, the escape artist who goes wherever he’s needed to get people out of the worst predicaments you’ve ever seen. When it comes to escape, nothing’s impossible for Mr. ESC. The game will be available worldwide, with the exceptions of Asia and Latin America, for 800 Microsoft Points and is rated E.

Players will also be able to use the Big Button Pads to play "UNO" on Xbox LIVE Arcade.

Yeah Exit is an inta-buy in my books, I'll have to see how battlestar feels in the demo. Mostly due to the fact that I've never seen a single episode of the show.

I almost picked up Exit last week for PSP rather glad I didn't now as it is significantly cheaper on XBLA :)
I'll give Battlestar a try as I do with all the demos, but I am not expecting to be inpressed. I saw the introduction movie for the show but as I am not a fan of melodrama I don't understand why people are so enamoured.

The space combat consists of zooming at high speed towards something, shooting it, zooming past it, then doing a U turn and repeating over and over until it blows up.
Its interstellar jousting and looks completely unfun.

Played both and for me, they were each 'Meh'
The one thing I did notice however, is that each had long intro and exit screens. I actually exited to the dashboard manually because they took too long to exit from the menu option, instead choosing to play ads first. Hope this is not a new trend.
