Major Nelson just updated his Xbox Live blog showing off the latest gems available on Marketplace for this week and next. If you’ve got a number Microsoft Points burning a hole in your pocket, these next two weeks will put your patience, and points, to the test. Sadly, I can already see myself dropping around 2,000 or so points in the relatively near future. Some of the key purchases for me coming up? Check them out below:

April 22: Left 4 Dead 2 The Passing

April 28: Game Room: Super Breakout, Pitfall!, Megamania , Night Stalker , Rack ‘Em Up, Realsports Volleyball, Basketball

April 29: BioShock 2 Game Add-on: Rapture Metro, 800 points

April 29: Tecmo Bowl, 800 points

April 29: Just Cause 2 Game Add-on: Black Market Aerial Pack, 160 points

I’ve put my sure purchases in bold, but you can bet your sweet teets that I’ll be making a last second judgment call on a number of them come April 28 and 29. Damn you, Xbox Live Marketplace! Why must you make me poor? Which picks are on your radar and potentially on your next bank statement? Click the Xbox Live blog link above to check the full list.
