It seems GBAtemp's recent downtime came at a very busy period in the 360 releases world. We have tried to keep up on IRC but a thread is more fitting. Eventually full topics will probably want to be made but in the meantime a quick list and explanation of some. Not an awful lot has happened in the JTAG, RGH and drive flashing world other than C4E announced work has started on the Hitachi 0500/0502 drives found in some 360 slims.
Releases,
Halo.4.XBOX360-iMARS
Leaked to p2p and saw a few repacks but this would then be the official scene release. Going by the thoughts from the previous leaks this is actually pretty good and above some of the weaker entries in the franchise.
Forza.Horizon.RARFIX.XBOX360-COMPLEX
Forza.Horizon.XBOX360-COMPLEX
FORZA.HORIZON.DIRFIX.GER.ENG.SPA.ITA.FR.NL.XBOX360-NSU
The latest Forza title shares a lot in common with Need for speed games some few years back as indeed it seems to be moving away from aping gran turismo and moves to aping need for speed. Still Forza games are some of the finest driving games out there.
A DLC is seen below.
Need_for_Speed_Most_Wanted_XBOX360-STRANGE
Criterion's latest entry in the need for speed franchise shares a name with a 2005 game in the series, sharing singular names is nothing new but subtitles is cause to raise an eyebrow. Still Criterion are held in high regard and they had a fairly strong showing at E3.
Dark_Souls_Prepare_To_Die_Edition_PAL_XBOX360-iCON
An Asia region dupe (Japanese region but does include English language) sits below but this would be the PAL only version of the title.
It is a game of the year edition by any other name and includes some expansion story, some weapons and more.
Something of a budget release as well.
Assassins.Creed.III.XBOX360-COMPLEX
Latest in the Assassin's Creed franchise and one set in the American war of independence, comes as two discs but apparently the second is for multiplayer.
Dragonball.Z.Budokai.HD.Collection.PAL.XBOX360-SWAG
PAL only for now NA release is next week. http://dragonball.wikia.com/wiki/Dragon_Ball_Z:_Budokai_HD_Collection
WWE.13.XBOX360-COMPLEX
Any game with "PREDATOR TECHNOLOGY 2.0" is surely worthy of your respect.... WWE games have usually been fairly serviceable for those that like wrestling and the MMA games have not yet managed to step up to it so do what you will.
Zone_of_the_Enders_HD_Edition_JPN_XBOX360-Caravan
Probably would sit with the region dupes but many were excited for this. Enhanced ports of the two console titles (not the GBA one), issues with the 360 controls have come up somewhat.
Cabelas.Hunting.Expeditions.USA.XBOX360-COMPLEX
Cabelas_Dangerous_Hunts_2013_XBOX360-SPARE
Hunting Expeditions is the hunting simulator where Dangerous hunts is the continuation of the story franchise. The story games are noted as some of the worst games on the 360 but enjoyed by those that would be compared to those that like bad films (many let's plays to that effect if you go searching).
Hunters_Trophy_2_PAL_XBOX360-iCONAnother hunting title, but from a different company. Billing itself as one of the superior hunting titles it is hard enough to argue otherwise.
Just_Dance_Disney_Party_XBOX360-STRANGE
A kinect driven dance game with a Disney twist. Probably less painful than Star Wars kinect, but nobody would hold it against you to reserve the right to change that opinion after the seventh hour of it.
Toy.Story.Mania.XBOX360-iMARS
Toy story games are odd ones- the first was an example of Disney's game making division at the peak of their craft (for technical reasons if not others) and the more recent title is remembered fairly fondly as well.
Region dupes
Forza_Horizon_JPN_XBOX360-Caravan

Part of the prepare to die edition mentioned above. It has a prequel story that sets the game itself up.
Fruit.Ninja.Kinect.Trick.or.Treat.Bag.DLC.XBOX360-MoNGoLS

XBLA
Guilty_Gear_XX_Accent_Core_Plus_XBLA_XBOX360-XBLAplus
The celebrated fighting game series finally sees a port to XBLA.
Home.Run.Stars.XBLA.XBOX360-MoNGoLSProbably to be most noted as the first XBLA game to feature "smartglass" integration. The game itself seems to be one of the carnival type games.
