Sega released slightly tarted up versions of several of their classic fighting game titles (all of which should include a measure of online play).

DLC
Mass.Effect.3.Omega.DLC.XBOX360-MoNGoLS
By most accounts a piece of cheap and probably not so cheerful DLC for Mass Effect 3.
The.Walking.Dead.Ep.5.No.Time.Left.DLC.XBOX360-MoNGoLS
Latest and final entry in the very well liked Walking Dead episodic XBLA game. By all accounts it sends the series off in style.

Zone.of.the.Enders.HD.Collection.PAL.XBOX360-COMPLEX
Somehow we missed the NA release of this (the Japanese one hit during the downtime) which hit about this time last month as Zone.of.the.Enders.HD.Collection.NTSC.XBOX360-iNSOMNi

It is a port of the original two games (not the GBA spinoff) with some prettied up visuals, controls were said to be a bit suspect by some but others seem to have done OK which is pretty good for a mech game. There is a limited edition out somewhere although what it includes as far as extra gameplay might go we are unable to find at present. Seems to be something of a budget title otherwise.

Amazon words
Zone of the Enders HD Collection is an Action video game collection featuring two games from Hideo Kojima's, Zone of the Enders series. Originally developed for PlayStation 2 in 2001 and 2003 respectively, the included games - Zone of the Enders and Zone of the Enders: The 2nd Runner - are remastered in high-definition, and feature an engrossing story based in humanity's expansion into space and the conflicts that result. Features include: the full classic games, dramatic and action-oriented flying/floating mecha (robot anime) combat, new opening animations, Xbox LIVE achievements, and a demo for the upcoming 2013 Konami release, Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance.

Story

The population has exploded, pollution has grown steadily worse, and natural resources are drying up. Unable to continue life on such a small planet as Earth, mankind pushes out into space. The Moon and Mars are incapable of supporting the entire population, so man eventually extends its reach to Jupiter. A torus space colony called Antilia is built at the L5 Lagrangian point of Jupiter and Europa to support mining operations. Man's farthest outpost in its sphere of existence, Antilia houses approximately 100,000 residents involved in mining and transport. It also serves as a development outpost for BAHRAM, the military organization of the Martian anti-Earth state, Vascilia County.

Antilia is mankind's farthest outpost, and allies itself neither with nor against Earth. Since Nereidum Universal Technology (NUT) and BAHRAM lost their development outpost during the Deimos Incident, they see Antilia as a perfect opportunity to establish an R&D facility for Orbital Frames, humanoid weapons surpassing LEV mecha. Their two most advanced Orbital Frames, Jehuty and Anubis, conceal incredible offensive capabilities plus a certain something of even greater importance.
Gameplay

What if there were an action game that let you dart through the air in any direction? This was the inspiration behind mecha anime simulator Zone of the Enders. The "Orbital Frame," as the game's primary mecha is known, does everything that might be expected of a humanoid machine - grabbing enemies, unleashing a whirlwind of blade strikes up close, and firing off guns from a distance, all while spiraling freely in the open air. With its seamless transitions between omnidirectional battles and story sequences, the game is like diving into a mecha anime where the fate of outer space lies in the player's hands.
Zone of the Enders: The 2nd Runner
Story

Mankind expands into the depths of space in a search for new land. The terraformed Mars is home to colonies from various Earth countries, and mankind's push continues on to Jupiter. However, with new resources and new territory come new problems. Mars consists of 16 counties, which are equivalent to the "states" comprising many Earth nations. Martians and the colonists of the Jovian system are ruled by Earth with an iron fist. Such people living on the frontier of civilization are called "Enders". An irreparable rift forms between those bound by the chains of Earth's gravity and those floating free in space, and over time the hostility between the governors and the governed grows.

In the course of exploring space, man discovers a new ore called Metatron. It gains attention not only for its use as an energy source but also for a multitude of other purposes. However, the incredible energy it provides also comes to be used for military designs, as anti-Earth forces on Mars employ it to secretly develop the giant humanoid weapons known as Orbital Frames. The Orbital Frames possess overwhelming mobility compared to Earth's LEVs, similar humanoid weapons. Once unable to compete against Earth's sheer numbers, Martian anti-Earth forces finally have a weapon with which they can fight back.
Gameplay

Released two years after the first Zone of the Enders, The 2nd Runner upgrades the mechanics of the original in every way. Its intuitive controls make each action even more exhilarating than before. Anime and CG come together to create a visual style like no other, and the stage layouts and story offer a nonstop entertainment experience. The game also boasts incredible sound effects, a pumping soundtrack, memorable voice performances, and topnotch production values in every detail. This is the next level of high speed robot action.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Zone of the Enders series comprises two third person shoot 'em up featuring 
  massive mech-warriors, and was the brainchild of METAL GEAR SOLID 
  creatorHideo Kojima. The series gives the player full control over a giant 
  mech-robotthat is pitted against others of its kind in spectacular aerial 
  battles. At its heart, however, the Zone of the Enders games are a classic 
  story of ayoung, ordinary boy becoming a hero via accidental encounters. 
  The story unfolds as the player embarks on their space career, and is 
  updatedwithin a series of anime sequences.
