Content going on Xbox Live Marketplace today includes a trailer for Half-Life 2: Episode Two, another for Tenchu Senran and a Tokyo Game Show picture pack.

You'll also be able to get your hands on a couple of Battle for Middle-Earth II map packs - the first, Aragorn's Journey, will be free between today and 29th September, while the second, Northern Badlands, will set you back 350 Microsoft points.

Today's update will also add Xbox Live Vision camera support to Spades, Hearts, Backgammon and Bankshot Billiards on Xbox Live Arcade.

Meanwhile, Japanese Xbox 360 owners will be able to download the Dead or Alive X2 E3 trailer, a Project Sylpheed trailer and a playable demo of Tenchu Senran.

That's all according to Xbox Live's Major Nelson, who also reveals that a five-minute cut of the Tokyo Game Show briefing delivered earlier will make it onto Live Marketplace later today.

Microsoft's planning to release a lot of content between now and 29th September to mark the passage of Tokyo Game Show and X06.

And in Europe, Xbox Live Gold access will be available to everyone for free between now and 8am GMT on 30th September.
