This week's additions to the Xbox Live Arcade library are built on already established properties, ones you may or may not be familiar with. First up is Sega's Happy Tree Friends False Alarm!, emphasis theirs. The M-rated XBLA title, developed by Stainless Games, is equal parts cuddly and gory, as you can see from the disastrous and bloody screen shot above.
Also hitting Live Arcade this Wednesday is Ticket To Ride which is based on the award-winning board game of the same name. The Playful Entertainment-developed, multiplayer-friendly game is rated E. Both titles will set you back 800 Microsoft Points. Media alert is after the jump!
