Scene It? BOS to test your Award Winners knowledge with new DLC
Capitalizing on the movie award season, Microsoft will be releasing the first set of downloadable content for Scene It? Box Office Smash. The 560 Award Winners pack, as it's called, will be available Friday, February 13th and come packed with over 300 questions that are targeted towards over two dozen award winning films. But that isn't all, the Award Winners DLC will also add a new bonus-round game called "Pop Quiz" that's said to feature around 600 true or false questions. That's some box office smashing news, no?
Avatars now available in Scene It? Box Office Smash
With all of the NXE excitement going around, it might have been easy to forget that Avatar support is now available for Scene It? Box Office Smash. It might have been easy to forget, except that we're totally reminding you about it right now. All you have to do is pop the game in and download the title update. Voila, instant Avatar support. And now, if you'll excuse us, we'll just go back to waiting for Avatar support in Left 4 Dead*. The freaky machinima possibilities alone will be worth the wait.*Avatar support for Left 4 Dead is not in the works and is something we made up (unfortunately).
NXE Avatars coming to (some) older XBLA titles
In its latest video exposé on the New Xbox Experience, the Gamerscore Blog has teamed with Major Nelson and a few project insiders to show off how Avatars will work in several older XBLA titles. Specifically, Uno, Bomberman Blast, Hardwood Hearts, and Hardwood Spades will all incorporate the virtual "yous" in various ways. In the case of these games, player Avatars will be visible on-screen – you can't actually play as your Avatar in Bomberman, sadly. The video does show that players will be able to be ... themselves in the upcoming Ninjabee town building game, A Kingdom for Keflings. (This is likely the new title the Gamerscore crew refer to in their blog update.) A title update for Scene It? Box Office Smash will roll out on Nov. 19 to enable in-game player Avatars (looks like the game didn't ship ready for NXE after all.) Check out the full video below the break.

E308: Scene It 2, You're in the Movies coming soon
Scene It: Box Office Smash and You're In The Movies has just been announced exclusively for the Xbox 360. Scene It: Box Offlice Smash continues the movie trivia experience and takes it online. With more questions and mini-games the online experience should be a great addition to the fun party title.Utilizing the Xbox Live Vision camera, players can create short 'B' movies with their families by participating in mini-games that are later combined into a short movie trailer. While it might sound strange, Xbox executives demoed the game live during the conference and it was quite entertaining (as seen above). Both are expected to ship this holiday. As an added bonus, You're In The Movies also includes the required Xbox Live Vision camera when it ships.
