Microsoft didn’t show off any Xbox Live downloadable titles during its E3 2011 press conference, but they did release a bunch of info post-show to whet your XBLA appetite.

So hit the jump for more details about some of the titles heading to XBLA in the coming months.

Warhammer 40,000: Kill Team

Warhammer 40,000: Kill Team is a new arcade shooter from THQ for PlayStation Network and Xbox LIVE Arcade. This is the first game on consoles that puts players directly in the boots of an elite Space Marine unit. Sent to explore and assault a gigantic Ork Kroozer headed towards an Imperial Forge World, players are faced with waves of Orks and Tyranid attacks – all fodder for the perfect arcade shooter experience. As a prequel to Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine, players will also be rewarded with an exclusive unlockable weapon, a Powersword, that they can ONLY
get if they play Kill Team.

Crimson Alliance

Party with up to three friends and battle the sinister Cult of the Soul Siren in this fast-action RPG title from Certain Affinity and Microsoft Game Studios. Play one of three classes each with a host of special abilities from the Assassin’s time-bending attacks, to the Wizards elemental mastery, to the Mercenary’s sweeping whirlwind strikes. Check out our exclusive Crimson Alliance hands-on preview for more details.

Renegade Ops

The madman Inferno has detonated a devastating bomb in the middle of a major European city to demonstrate the power of his new weaponized incendiary composition: L.V.A. (Liquid Volatile Amonescence). Paralyzed from fear of more L.V.A. attacks, the world leaders bow to Inferno’s will and allow him to build an empire without hindrance. Furious by the world leader’s refusal to retaliate against Inferno, General Bryant resigns and takes matters into his own hands. He recruits a team of military specialists from around the globe and forms the Renegade Ops, with the sole purpose of bringing Inferno to justice. Read our pre-E3 2011 Renegade Ops preview for more.

Be mindful of the defenses they place though, and place good ones yourself, as you race to smash through to triumph across a number of stages inspired by various periods in classic art history!
