Nice, I liked Zuma, I'll definitly grab it for 400points.

Hmm, the link is US based though, so it may not apply to Canadian live account holders, guess we'll see.

Unfortunately most of those games suck, or 'dated' is the kind word.. who wants to play Gauntlet or Dig Dug in 2007?

They should offer 50% off ALL Arcade games for the period. It doesn't cost them anything, and then people could pick up worthwhile stuff like Castlevania Symphony of the Night (which is still easily worth 800 pts anyways.)

Zuma is a cool game and my parents both love the game on their laptops so i may get that for 400 points.

On a related note, Fatal Fury Special is next week's Live Arcade title!

I checked Major Nelson, and he had this to say...

Remember: If the game is available in your region, it will be available for the ‘sale’ price during the above time.


So it looks like we are in luck! Sure they are oldies, but for a couple of bucks, some of them might provide an evening of fun!

Gauntlet would be fun with a bunch of people...
still 200 points is pretty awesome to get some achievements, and it's a cost of a theme or gamerpics (still doesn't make sense to me why they sell these).

Small Arms is good, if I didnt already buy it for 800 points a year ago..

Same here, assault heroes should have been on this deal, it's a good XBLA game.
