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.
Defense Grid is another tower defense game, with a high tech twist. It looks good and plays well. Great deal at 50% off.

P.B. Winterbottom doesn’t share the charm of braid, but it does have excellent art direction, and the mechanics behind it are fun. It tugs on Internet memes for its hook, but don’t let that deter you.

Create your own paradox for the love of pie at 50% off for Gold members, only 400 points.
Rocket Riot on sale appears to be an answer in-kind to the Doujin deluge from the PSN a few weeks back. If you like sideview shooters this is a good deal.

Chances are you already own Darwinia on another platform, but if you don’t this digital-life RTS is a great game. For 800MSP it’s a steal.

It’s hard to argue against the price, but I didn’t like Chime. It has an interesting mechanic but I’ve felt like I’ve done this before.

Place blocks against the clock for only 240 points, a 40% discount for Gold members.
Poker Smash adds an action-puzzle element to the traditional game of poker. It’s not really needed, so I didn’t enjoy Poker Smash as much as some others might.
