Half-price XBLA games this weekend!
...but they're all a bit rubbish (apart from Small Arms)
Aug 31, 2007
Good news cheapskates; Microsoft is slashing the price of a handful of Xbox Live Arcade games by half - for this weekend only.
Gauntlet, Dig Dug, Zuma Deluxe and (something worth buying) Small Arms have all been slashed for the weekend, the first two down to 200 ($2.50 or £1.70) points and the latter two for 400 points ($5.00 or £3.40).
The last one - a Power Stone-style fighter/platformer from Gastronaut - is definitely worth picking up if you've got some points left over.
There's no mention of what the price drop is in celebration of, but we'd like to think it's a way of celebrating us finally passing the million-point mark in Geometry Wars.
