This week's Xbox LIVE Deal of the Week game for download is Lode Runner for 800 Microsoft Points ($10), for a savings of $5. The game is highlighted as Deal of the Week due to the game being exceptional. This offer is only available for Xbox LIVE Gold Members and is available from September 14th to the 20th. Lode Runner for Xbox LIVE is not just a remake of the classic Commodore 64 title, but a re-imagining by Tozai Games (makers of the R-Type Dimensions) and SouthEnd Interactive.

Scott Tsumura, Tozai's co-founder says: "We focused on maintaining the integrity of the incredibly fun 2D game play, but added all-new levels, hi-res graphics, multiplayer online options, puzzles, co-op modes and much more."

Lode Runner is also known as one of the very first game franchises to include a Level Editor so players could create their own challenges. Tozai Games not only created an easy-to-use Level Editor, they pioneered Community sharing of user generated content for Xbox LIVE Arcade.

When Lode Runner for Xbox LIVE Arcade originally released near the end of April 2009, it had already garnered many accolades from various gaming publications and blogs. In all, 19 of 29 reviewers noted by Metacritic gave Lode Runner scores of 80 or above, which is pretty worthy of a purchase if you haven't done so already.
