<p>There&#8217;s some crazy deals happening on Xbox Live today for tons of games. Seriously, there&#8217;s <em>a lot</em> of content marked down, way too much for little ol&#8217; me to type up, but <a href="http://majornelson.com/2011/03/29/coming-soon-to-the-xbox-live-marketplace/">Major Nelson has a good summary of it all.</a></p>
<p>Having only 400 Microsoft Space Bucks left over from when I recently purchased <strong>Torchlight</strong> (well, 410 if you wanna be specific), I figured I&#8217;d grab one game for a good price and be done with it. Then I started to peruse all the deals, and well&#8230;I caved. There&#8217;s also one-day only sales happening today, the day of fools, and I just couldn&#8217;t pass one up at the discounted price. I purchased another 1600 Microsoft Space Bucks and have now downloaded <em>five</em> arcade games in the past 12 hours. Check &#8217;em out:</p>
<p><strong>A Kingdom for Keflings</strong> &#8211; Marked down by 50% to 400 Microsoft Space Bucks. I don&#8217;t really know what this game is&#8230;an RTS with your Avatars? Interested to find out even if I&#8217;m probably late to the multiplayer aspects and all that.</p>
<p><strong>3D Ultra Minigolf 2</strong> &#8211; Marked down by 50% to 400 Microsoft Space Bucks. Golfing season approaches, but one probably couldn&#8217;t tell considering it is SNOWING outside right now. Maybe this will help pass the time.</p>
<p><strong>Costume Quest</strong> &#8211; Marked down to 600 Microsoft Space Bucks. I&#8217;ve heard many great things about this bite-size RPG. It looks freakin&#8217; adorable to say the least. Might feel a little weird to play a Halloween game in April, but that&#8217;s not enough to stop me from charging forward.</p>
<p><strong>X-MEN</strong> &#8211; Marked down by some insane percentage to a mere 200 Microsoft Space Bucks. WELCOME TO DIE!</p>
<p><strong>Monkey Island 2: LeChuck&#8217;s Revenge (Special Edition)</strong> &#8211; Marked down by 50% to 400 Microsoft Space Bucks. I missed out on an entire generation of point-and-click adventures, and this one seems like a fun time. I like that it can be switched between new art and the original screens. Hope it&#8217;s not too confusing since I never played the previous title. Oh well. I&#8217;m sure the Internet could help me there.</p>
<p>I normally don&#8217;t splurge like this, but honestly, these were some great deals. I&#8217;m most excited about <strong>Costume Quest</strong> and seeing what I&#8217;ve missed out on in <strong>Monkey Island 2</strong>.</p>
<p>If you too are interested some of these titles, you&#8217;d better act fast. This foolish day is almost done.</p>
