congrats on the new domicile but not the defeatist attitude...you can afford a mortgage but not a couple of games, at least rentals, a month? comon! don't make it so easy for me.

[LightIdea]

Well I have 11171 points.

The last game I played was Need for Speed: Carbon :)

I think it's going to stay like that for a while, until I have time to finish the other difficulties on Hitman :p

Easy to pick up but hard to put down, "Small Arms" is a frantic multiplayer action game with the feel of an arcade shooter.

Zuma Deluxe- 400 Microsoft Points (normally 800 Microsoft Points)

Explore more than 20 realms in Adventure mode and put your skills to the test in this fast-paced puzzle game.

Gauntlet - 200 Microsoft Points (normally 400 Microsoft Points)

Ask for half your money back :) You never know it might just work, then again it might not ...

[+StevoFC MVC]

Figures...I will be out of town for work so I won't be able to buy any of them discounted...

[PabUK Veteran]

I've always hoped they would reduce the prices on older titles eventually. On the one hand it's a shame it's only for a few days, but on the other it's half price which is way better than I would have ever expected. Going to be hard to resist buying those, even the ones I don't necessarily want. :D

[neoadorable]

hmmm thanks for posting that, it's the kind of thing they need to be doing more. now it's time for a choice: to gauntlet or not to gauntlet?

Next week's releases are apparently..

Cyberball 2072 and Fatal Fury Special hit the Xbox LIVE Arcade next week, Wednesday, September 5, beginning at 9 AM GMT. Each costing your wallet 400 points.

Four oldie but goodie Xbox LIVE Arcade titles will be available for half their regular price this coming weekend. Small Arms and Zuma Deluxe will be 400 points (normally 800), and Gauntlet and Dig Dug will be only 200 points. Buy them beginning at 12 AM GMT on Sunday, September 2 and continuing through 11: 59 p.m. GMT. So get ready to snap them up if you want to boost your gamerscore.

Cyberball 2072 - 400 Microsoft Points

Rediscover the arcade classic game Cyberball 2072 from Midway on Xbox LIVE Arcade. Take control of your robotic team, and call the plays to move your team downfield for a touchdown. But watch out, the ball gets hot if you don't keep moving! Keep your eye on the ball to make sure it doesn't go critical before you can score.

Fatal Fury Special (400 Microsoft Points)

The third title in the Fatal Fury fighting game series from SNK Playmore makes its way onto Xbox LIVE Arcade this Wednesday! Join Terry and Andy Bogard, Joe Higashi and 12 of the toughest titans in one of the biggest matches of the millennium. Set in Southtown, a fictitious American city, players must compete against the ruler of the underworld Wolfgang Krauzer. Who will win? You’ll have to play to find out.

Let us know if you will be picking up any of these titles, along with your cries of "Where is Speedball 2 or SWOS!!"

Is Small Arms good?

[+BeLGaRaTh Subscriber¹]

Cant wait for fatal Fury, have to more points though, I only have 5 left :(

[neoadorable]

oh enough with the freakin beat em ups!!!!!

and i personally did not like small arms at all.

[PabUK Veteran]

A reminder: there's less than 5 hours left to grab some half-price XBLA bargains. I've just bought Small Arms and Zuma. At less than ?3 each, it would have been crazy not to!

[LOC Veteran]

Is Small Arms good?

For what it is, its rather decent. I personally couldn't get used to the control, but then again I never got the full version. Thinking about picking it up today as its only 400 till tonight, I figure what the hey. Plus, maybe more people will be playing multiplayer on it now with the price drop :D

But for a small little action game, it looks great (considering its an XBLA game after all and over a year old now) and is nice and smooth.

[neoadorable]

get Zuma, it's a classic.

For 400 points, Small Arms is an absolute steal.

[LOC Veteran]

Yeah to bad I was sick last night (as usual) and didn't have a chance to snag it :|

Looking forward to this weeks releases though (which I'll post as news shortly :)) heh.

[neoadorable]

as usual? what's wrong with you?

[LOC Veteran]

as usual? what's wrong with you?

Between my back which is in horrible shape, and my knees - I'm in pain all the time.

But last night my food got "stuck" for hours, which is a byproduct of sorts from my gastric bypass from 2001. Sometimes if I eat to fast or take to much in one bite, the food gets stuck, it hurts like hell and you can't swallow your spit or liquids until it either goes down or you just vomit. Normally it goes down pretty fast or I vomit, but last night it was just hours of ugh.
