Deal of the Week – Geometry Wars 2

6 04 2010

Geometry is a funky looking word. Every time I write it down I have to look up the spelling because I swear I must have it wrong because it looks weird… but, no, that’s just the way it looks. Sorry, geometry. I’m probably just scarred from my days at school.

Therapy session over, there’s a new Deal of the Week for Xbox LIVE Gold members, and it’s a good one: 50% off Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved 2. If you haven’t scored this game yet this is a good opportunity for it. It appears quite simple at first but as you start adding more digits to your score it becomes a beast. It’s stellar.

From Xbox.com:

Experience an unbelievable adrenaline rush from playing the latest version of the frenetic retro shooter Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved 2. Newcomers and pros alike will be blown away by the screen-melting intensity and insane new features, including six action-packed gameplay modes, new enemies, new scoring strategies, and a diverse list of exciting achievements. If that’s not crazy enough for you, try multiplayer mayhem for up to four players. Use power-ups in versus mode to boost your stats or handicap your opponent, or team up with others in co-op mode. Play it all in razor-sharp 1080p to new pulse-pounding music.

  • Action-packed modes: Unlock all six of these innovative and challenging modes — Deadline, Evolved, King, Pacifism, Waves, and Sequence.
  • Multiplayer mayhem: Step up the intensity with four-player multiplayer. Versus, team, and co-op modes offer different types of challenges and strategies. Pick your ship and pwn the grid.
  • Achievements: Go for 12 entertaining and inventive ways to boost your gamerscore.
  • Geoms: Collect Geoms to increase your multiplier — but act fast, they won’t last forever!
  • New enemies: Shoot down all the usual suspects, then say “Hello” to new enemies that have found additional ways to hunt you down.

Deal of the Week: Duke Nukem 3D

23 02 2010

This week’s Deal of the Week for our Xbox LIVE Gold members is 50% off Duke Nukem 3D from Xbox LIVE Arcade.

From Xbox.com, since it can describe it more delightfully than I can:

“Duke Nukem, the politically incorrect action hero and ultimate alien ass kicker, defends Earth and its babes from alien invasion in Duke Nukem 3D. This is the award winning game that helped define the FPS genre, introducing unparalleled interactivity, and a main character that spoke. Take the fight to the aliens across 39 levels featuring Hollywood, Los Angeles, a moon base, and alien spacecraft. Innovative items like the Jetpack, HoloDuke, Shrink Ray, or Pipe Bombs allow you to fight the aliens in any style you want. Defeat the aliens, so Duke can get back to some R&R with a stogie, a warm belly, and a bottle of Jack.”

To get the discount, sign into Xbox LIVE as a Gold member. You can browse to the game in the catalogue or find the promotion in the Game Marketplace channel. The discount will be reflected when you purchase the game. That easy!

Deal of the Week

12 08 2009

This got lost in the pre-update craziness yesterday but it’s just as valid today!

We have a new Deal of the Week, this time for FIFA 09. Download the Ultimate Team free trial, then get the full version for 400 MS Points–50% off!

This one works a little differently than our usual Deal of the Week so I figure it’s worth breaking it down. The Ultimate Team trial is a free download. When you opt to upgrade from the trial to the full version, the cost for that will be 50% off if you’re a LIVE Gold member.

With FIFA 09 hanging around in the top 10 played games, I hope this is a useful Deal for lots of you gamers!
