Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 has been confirmed to contain co-op missions. A new group of screenshots feature Ayane and Rachel duking it out in the team missions mode where players can tackle self-contained missions in co-op.
Titan Studios, developer of Fat Princess, has released its first patch for the game, patching severe connection issues, among other things.

A major XBL update is coming tomorrow, August 11, it mainly entails the games on demand service which will allow users to download full 360 games onto their console's HDD. Other updates included in the XBL update are:
User Ratings - Rate anything you play on XBL, demos, games, arcade games, and sort by rating to find games that got the highest ratings
Indie Games - XBL Community games have been renamed to Indie Games
Account Management - Get a stamp showing off how long you've been a member of XBL as well as a reminder when your account is going to run out
User Interface - Enhanced UI which includes a streamlined navigation, new ways to sort through friends lists, and a revamped achievement browser
XBL Parties - Invite friends to XBL parties easier and automatically reconnect when disconnected
Netflix Updates - Bring your party to Netflix and watch a movie or TV show together
The argument that many are putting up is that some of the games on demand may be more expensive than their disc counterparts. Not to mention the fact that the download is far cheaper to the developer and should have a lower price than the disc. For instance, Kameo and Perfect Dark Zero, two of the 360's launch titles have been confirmed as being part of this service right away, and the price point given is $20-30. As of right now the games sell brand new for between $10-15. Not raining on Microsoft's parade, simply saying that if they want users to purchase games via this online service, they should get their act together and not charge more for them than what you're seeing in the store.
