While several notable Xbox Live Arcade games launched during February's Must Have Games 2012 promotion, actual XBLA deals were less than exciting. Now that March has come along, Microsoft is really kicking things into gear with not one, but two big sales this week (and that's on top of the month-long ilomilo sale). All told, 10 downloadable games featuring co-op are on sale for half-off this week, including Konami hits X-Men Arcade, Hard Corps: Uprising, and Castlevania: Harmony of Despair. We've compiled a list complete with co-op details to make your purchasing decisions easier.
All game titles in these lists link to their Xbox.com Marketplace pages.
