Weekly XBLA Update - 5/6/09

It's that time of the week again. Papa Microsoft opened the flood gates and wayward the fruits of the XBL marketplace went. It's a pretty hefty release list this week. And can I just say that "Naked Eye" is one of the greatest 90s hits of all time? Yes, yes I can say that.
