There are two things you can count on in life, taxes and random Texas Hold 'Em title updates. And that's what is headed down the infamous Microsoft certifcation tube, a new title update for XBLA games Texas Hold 'Em and Hexic 2.There is no specific date for when the title updates will roll out, but we do know that the leaderboards for the games will be reset (to keep things fair) and that the Texas Hold 'Em update is geared more towards fixing bankroll exploits while the Hexic 2 update is aimed at fixing or improving bomb and timer gameplay elements. So, welcome the changes with open arms when they get rolled out otherwise the XBLA police will break down your door and rough you up. Not that we know from first hand experience or anything ... we heard about it from a friend. Full list of all the changes coming for these XBLA games can be viewed after the jump, happy gambling and happy bombing!

So was there just no game this week...?

No new release this week, I guess they figured it would be obscured by the shadow of a giant.
The Texas Hold'em update was direly needed, as the competitive match had become anything but competitive due to the rampant cheating.
I will once again be gunning for that #1 spot.
And there was much rejoicing...

That Hexic 2 save game bug was really annoying. They're going to reset the leaderboards now because that bug could be exploited so you could play forevah.

@1, There was a new Bomberman pack released, but that was it.
And isn't this the second Texas Hold Em patch dealing with cheaters?

@4 yes, there was a patch a while back (around dec/jan i believe) that dealt with cheating and was successful.
then the last patch (july) broke the game allowing cheating to ruin the game again (even worse than the last time).
people were able to open 500k rooms without the required buy-in thus creating money out of nowhere, and the rooms could start with only 2 players, guaranteeing both a 1.2m or 2m increase in their bankroll.
