Arcade, Deal By Larry Hryb, Xbox LIVE's Major Nelson

  • Oh baby 1994

    One of the best arcade platformers ever!! A steal at 400 points!!

  • Vegivo

    YES it is :D

  • Perixon

    Twisted Pixel, what’s there not to love about you? :) I’ll be more than happy to cough up 400 points for Splosion Man this week! (and if I could, I’d buy an extra code to give as a gift)

  • Spiraea22

    Very tempting! I’m renewing my Gold account on Friday (should make me eligible right?) when I finally pick up Modern Warfare 2. I got my work cut out for me to catch up with a friend who’s on his 3rd prestige but it seems a shame not to get this and at least put it on the backlog. Loved the demo

  • GamingTailor

    Thanks for the heads up. Going to purchase it now.

  • LYSTER OF SMEG

    Has this really been out that long or is this a new trend of pushing “newer” titles into the deal of the week range.

    shame i bought this on day 1 as i have hardly played it. brilliant game though expecially for the Co-op Fun

  • Schoon

    I just got this at 800 last week and I thought it was a good deal. It’s an even better deal at 400 so grab it now. Tough but very entertaining game.

  • sleepydumbdude

    Love Twisted Pixel games. Like that I can unlock themes by playing also.

  • AriesDog

    Got it! How can you not at this price?

  • Oh baby 1994

    Schoon, I bought 4 of them last week at 800 points!! :( Talk about bad timing!!

  • Khufu23

    Immediate buy! This is an awesome deal of the week. How glad I am I kept those 400 points spare =D

  • trnsfrguy

    I want to buy this, but my xbox has red ringed. If I purchase from the web, will it download to the right xbox when it gets back ?

  • sleepydumbdude

    @trnsfrguy: yes can purchase on website and it will be added to your queue to download.

  • NvaderJim

    in for one

  • r3dreck

    Snagged.

  • MathGuy42

    Crossing my fingers for Halo Wars DLC next week.

  • MuckRak3r

    I DL’d it today for 400 points. I would say it’s barely worth $5. Although it’s fairly genius, it’s continuously reminding me of Cloning Clyde.

    And the scripted scenes where a “Scientist” runs over and pulls a level and a blue shield comes up…. Well I’m on level 1-7 and I am already sick of that.

    To be honest, the XBLA in general is just tired and beaten to me. I have MS points out the butt, and I rarely find an excuse to use them.

    I bought Castle Crashers a couple weeks ago, and have barely played that too.

    I’m waiting for a great retail title to come along and sweep away my gaming blues, because there are zero arcade titles doing that.

    Last good arcade title I played was Shadow Complex. I hate to say it too because I think Epic is so full of fail. Damn I hate Epic, but that’s a really good arcade game.

  • Jonah Falcon

    WIN! Going to pick this one up now.

  • StaticFree

    Just bought it. I’ve heard lots of good things and am looking forward to playing it.

  • zorniki77

    Got it!
    I´ve waited for this deal. Glad it finally shows up here!

  • Oh baby 1994

    MuckRak3r, your out of your mind. Wait til you see the later levels. Some of the most challenging gameplay on this system. Awesome game!!

  • Metal Ghost

    I can’t wait to get back home to download this….talk about a steal!

    Question for the group, if anyone knows: my 360 is currently ‘in the shop’ for an E74 error, and I have a loaner at my house. If I buy this game (tied to my profile, of course :) ) am I going to have issues down the road playing it on my new ‘box? I thought I had heard a while back that arcade games were somehow tied to the hardware, and after that if you were playing on a different machine you always had to be connected to the internet for the game to be validated. I don’t know….I’m hoping I’m wrong.

  • Gonzo345

    INSTA-BUY! 5* OMFG!!!1!!one!!

  • II W4RLORD II

    YYYYEEEEESSSSSS!!

  • WhiskyBR

    Done and done.

  • JDExPlorer

    Why does the game cost 800 in Denmark? Strange?

  • SlipperyRed

    Been waiting for a deal on this. Loved the demo… and I can’t wait to find out more about the donuts.

  • Jedi LarryB

    I went to purchase Splosion Man just now, and it’s back up to 800 points? What gives?
