    Xbox Live Arcade Fire Sale

    xboxlivesale.jpg

    From September 1st to September 3rd, you can get a great deal on some fun Xbox Live Arcade titles. In honor of Labor Day (or something) Microsoft is offering Gauntlet, Zuma Deluxe, Dig Dug and Small Arms for half off the original price. A pretty great deal for some classic arcade titles. From the press release:

    Celebrate this Labor Day weekend by downloading four Arcade favorites for half the price! For the 48 hour period beginning at 12:00 a.m. GMT on Sunday, September 2 (5:00 p.m. PDT on Saturday, September 1) and continuing through 11: 59 p.m. GMT (4:59 p.m. PDT) on Monday, September 3, the following Xbox LIVE Arcade games will be available for half their usual price:
    • “Small Arms” – 400 Microsoft Points (normally 800 Microsoft Points) 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) The original dungeon crawler lets four adventurers explore and fight together as a warrior, valkyrie, wizard, and elf.
    • “Dig Dug” – 200 Microsoft Points (normally 400 Microsoft Points) Experience the fast-paced action of this quarter-cruncher from 1982 as you take control of Dig Dug himself and vanquish Pookas and Fygars.

    I'd recommend getting Zuma at the very least. That game is insanely addictive. For a period of time I was seeing those damn balls and hearing their gentle knocking noise in my sleep. Okay, maybe that's not a good thing.
