It’s going to be a busy weekend with the 8x XP for Gears of War 2 and 2x XP for Transformers, but if you get some time here are some great deals from Xbox LIVE arcade. Continue reading »
It’s Sonic’s 19th Birthday and to celebrate we’ve got four classic Sonic games on sale on the Xbox LIVE Marketplace. If you love 2D sidescrolling hyperspeed platforming you’ll enjoy these. Recast in HD, and with both Local and XBL mutliplayer (in Sonic 2 and 3) these games will provide hours of fun for 240MSP each.
Living in a multi-Xbox, multi-gamer household can get expensive. Even with a one year LIVE card on sale, gamers can pay from $34.99 to $59.99 per year for the privilege of playing online, streaming NetFlix (if you’re in the US), and getting exclusive Gold Deals of the Week. That’s a pricey endeavour for most, so it’s great to hear that Microsoft is announcing an Xbox LIVE Family pack (thanks 360Junkies). Continue reading »
The Crackdown 2 demo went live today and brought with it a Facebook connected game that’s tied to your Xbox LIVE profile. The game promises something interesting in Crackdown 2 if you complete it: a daily supply of the explosive Quakers in the demo.
Chuck’s Ducks 2 consists of two stages: the first is a balloon popping game where you’ll attempt to match up two different balloons of the same colour to clear the board. Doing so will earn you ducks that you’ll need to protect from hunters in the second Duck-Hunt esque stage. The second stage adds a twist as you’re not aiming at the ducks, but at the hunters.
On top of having access to Quackers in the demo, gamers that earn them will have access to them in multiplayer when the game launches in July.
