Sonic 2 as promised, out today

Content: Sonic The Hedgehog 2

Price: 400 Microsoft Points

Availability: All Xbox LIVE regions

Dash Text: [ESRB: E (Everyone) Blood, Fantasy Violence] Single Player, Xbox Live Multiplayer 1-2, Local Multiplayer 1-2, HD (High Definition). Dr.Eggman (AKA Dr.Robotnik) begins his zealous search for the Chaos Emeralds to fuel his new "Death Egg" contraption. One afternoon, he launches his full-scale attack on the island. Dr.Eggman imprisons all of the helpless animals of the island and turns them into mindless worker drones. Fortunately, Sonic will thwart the Doctor's plans at all costs. This time, he isn't alone, as Tails decides to aid him in the battle. Together they must locate the Chaos Emeralds before Dr.Eggman does, and put an end to this diabolical scheme.

Content: Geon: Emotions

Price: 800 Microsoft Points

Availability: Not available in Japan and Korea

Dash Text: [ESRB: E (EVERYONE)] Single Player, Live Multiplayer 1-4, Local Multiplayer 1-4, HD (High Definition). It’s frightening to be restricted to such a small palette of emotions, you’ve felt rage, you’ve known passion, but you want to feel more, to experience more. Grab the full game and unleash fear, courage, rapture, melancholy or greed fuelled envy. Feel the rush of playing against friends, family or people you’ll only ever know by their mastery of their own emotions!

This week on Arcade: Tetris Splash

The game will drop this Wednesday for 800 points.

i was bored today so i bought the game after trying the trial...

[neoadorable]

any good?

btw not paying fifteen for this new puzzler, love puzzle games but that's too much buckadingdongs.

[stanley porkchop]

Oh god- who's played Yaris?

It's so depressing. Unless you're an achievement guy, I urge you to avoid it. But just remember: if you've played it, there is help.

[DrunknMunky Veteran]

We have "Every Extend Extra Extreme" and "Speedball 2: Brutal Deluxe" hitting Marketplace for 800 points each this Wednesday.

[Pheee]

I played 1 online game of yaris, other guy dropped out, I completed the level 4, bam 4 achievements 45GS, not turning it on again.

[neoadorable]

good one pheis.

yaris is a bit weird, the aiming mechanism is all over the shop and i think the framerate wasn't quite optimized. but hey it's free, i am grateful for it, why not?

achievements seem tough, even getting past level 2 is a challenge.

[PL_ Veteran]

Added Speedball 2 and E4

Lumines Live is now also 800 points permanently instead of the 1200 points it was before.

[TogaForComfort]

I love E3 on PSP, but E4 is even better. Its familiar but different enough to warrant the purchase. mmmm.. trillions of points :)

[magik]

Wow, I downloaded the trial of E4 and immediately purchased it. Brilliant game!! It's also my first Arcade purchase as I'm usually not into arcade games... that's how good this thing is! :)

I will also probably be buying Lumines Live at the discounted 800MSP price now. :)
