There's a lot of co-op love in XBLA's Deal of the Week sale! Four out of the five games feature co-op. Hard Corps: Uprising, X-men Arcade, Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time Reshelled are all 50% off. These four games have an average score of 4 out of 5 in our Co-Op reviews. Comic Jumper, and excellent single player game, is also for sale for half price.
It seems that Raphael, Donatello, Michelangelo and Leonardo are running out of time. Like other digital content, it seems that the game isn't meant to live forever. According to Ubisoft, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time Reshelled is being pulled from the Xbox Live Marketplace and PlayStation Network on June 30th due to an "expiring license." This only appears to affect the US region.
You've gotta love the weekly sales for Xbox Live Arcade Gold members. Well, to be precise, if you have a Gold account, you have to love them, I guess. Generally, the deal of the week is well advertised, but sometimes, games are discounted without much hoopla. That is the case today with a few movie-related games, three of which feature co-op. These hidden deals are Turtles in Time: Reshelled for 400 points (totally worth it), TMNT The Arcade Game for 200 points (definitely worth it), and Star Trek D-A-C for 400 points (probably still not worth it). Both Turtles games are excellent examples of brawlers, and the graphic overhaul on Reshelled is quite nice. The Star Trek title, on the other hand, leaves much to be desired, as you can read about in our review. There's no telling when these deals will expire, so grab them now while you have the chance!
This week during E3, Microsoft is releasing some great downloadable deals for those of us who can't attend the show. Starting Monday, June 14th through the week, Xbox Gold members will have access to a variety of downloadable titles, avatar items, and games on demand at price reductions as much as 50%. Quite a few titles appear on this list, and some of these are hard to pass up.
