Xbox LIVE Arcade Marketplace Deal of the Week games and DLC

by Roly on August 30, 2010

in Xbox 360 News Bits

XBLA Deal of the Week games are out of this world.

This week’s Xbox LIVE Arcade Marketplace Deal of the Week for Gold Members is based around an aliens and space theme. First up is a first-person beat ‘em up, Zeno Clash Ultimate Edition. Zeno Clash is highly recommended for its innovative style and peculiar back story not seen in many downloadable games. It also features a great art style amongst its innovations. It’s on sale for 800 Microsoft Points ($10).

Next is the Swarm Map Pack, for the disc-based game, Aliens Vs. Predator. The map pack features four brand new levels for the online portion of the game. It’s on sale at 400 Microsoft Points ($5).

Alien Breed Episode 1 is also part of the space/alien themed Deal of The Week. This isometric top-down shooter is reminiscent to games like Assault Heroes 2, Smash TV, etc., but that is where the similarities cease. The graphics are highly detailed, the gameplay is action-packed and it has co-op both online and offline. It is on sale also at 400 Microsoft Points ($5).

Finally, an HD remake of an all-time arcade classic has returned in the guise of Galaga Legions. It features frenetic shooter action from your spaceship as you commandeer through hordes of alien attacks. The visuals are very colorful and crisp, similar to Geometry Wars (only more over the top). A great buy coming in at 400 Microsoft Points ($5).

All deals are only available for Xbox LIVE Gold Members, and only available for this week. Enjoy these great deals on these spaced-out games.
