In an news post on kotaku.com we get all the down low on what all updates Team Fortress 2 will get and it sounds like its going to be all the same things that Steam fans have already been enjoying, the full range of details can be found here in this report so happy reading.
The report is as follows: Owners of the Xbox 360 version of Team Fortress 2 will be scarfing down sandviches and delivering payloads later this year, as Valve is finally bringing all the updates delivered via Steam to the Xbox Live Marketplace. That means new, class-specific Achievements, new unlockable weapons for the Pyro, Medic and Heavy, new gameplay modes and new maps, all on your Xbox 360.
Valve marketing director Doug Lombardi got that piece of business out of the way just before our latest Left 4 Dead demo, saying that the developer wanted to build up a massive update for Xbox 360 users before delivering. Given that Valve is being forced to charge for the update, they wanted to ensure that 360 owners were getting their money's worth.
So, how much? The price isn't final, but Valve is hoping to go as low as possible, aiming for a ten dollar price tag. Not too shabby. Sorry, PS3 owners, no word on when or if Valve will be giving you the same Team Fortress 2 updates.
For all the Portal fans out there that have got the Orange Box set this will not hold a lot of news but is still worth the read since it will fill you in a bit about the upcoming "Portal: Still Alive" and new achievements for one of the other games on Orange Box.
"Valve has confirmed that insane AI and internet celebrity GladOS will not be getting any extra lines in the Xbox 360 exclusive Portal: Still Alive."
"It's just a series of new challenges," said Valve's Doug Lombardi. He said that Valve see the game "as another way for people to experience Portal, without having to buy the full Orange Box."
"The exclusive new maps added to the XBLA release of Portal won't have any new GladOS voiceover because Valve didn't want to mess around with the storyline so neatly wrapped up at the end of the game. Lombardi told us it wanted to avoid the potential problem of having different story strands on different platforms."
"Lombardi says Valve has new products in development for 360, but still isn't interested in PS3 or Wii. He also confirmed that the extra achievements currently being added to the PC version of Team Fortress 2 will be coming to Xbox 360 at some point, when Valve has worked out how it wants to bundle and present them."
I got to say I'm a little disappointed they had no new content for Half Life here but with Episode 3 in the works i guess i can over look it this time.
An update for the Xbox 360 version of Team Fortress 2 was released by Valve Software.
360-HQ describes Team Fortress 2 as "an all-new version of the legendary title that spawned team based multi-player action games. The game’s daring new art style features the most advanced graphics of any source-based game released to date."

Unreal Tournament III and The Orange Box finally make their way to PlayStation 3 this week.
It’s a good week for PS3 owners as they’ll finally be able to get their hands on one of this year’s best (and best value) packages in the form of The Orange Box, as well as Epic’s 2007 PS console exclusive shooter Unreal Tournament III.
There’s also a host of Wii titles making their way to stores this week, thanks largely to publisher Destineer, while it’s pretty quiet on the Xbox 360, PSP and DS front.
BioShock is current tied with the Orange Box as best rated title for Xbox 360, so it's no surprise that the game did incredibly well at the recently announced Spike TV Video Game Awards.
BioShock took home three prizes for the night: Game of the Year, Best Xbox 360 Title as well as winning for Best Original Score.
Halo 3 was honored too, taking home two awards -- for Best Multiplayer Game and the quite whorishly titled Most Addictive Video Game Fueled By Dew. The producers really oughta be ashamed for that one.
