Strategy fans will be pleased to hear the Deal of the Week this week, January 10-16, includes up to 50% off some of the top Tower Defense games available on XBLA:
Defense Grid – was 800 MSP, now 400 MSP
Orcs Must Die! – was 1200 MSP, now 600 MSP
Dungeon Defenders – was 1200 MSP, now 800 MSP
South Park: Let’s Go Tower Defense Play! – was 800 MSP, now 400 MSP
As always Deal of the Week is exclusive to Xbox Live Gold members.
Microsoft has sure been busy this week, a dashboard update, a new iOS app and the new XBLA game, Apples to Apples. Although that is quite a bit of content for just one week, turns out Microsoft isn’t done yet, they have dropped a lot of new DLC packs in the past few weeks, eight to be exact. So without further ado here is the full list:
Oh and don’t forget there is even more DLC next week coming out for Bastion!
Hit tower defense game Defense Grid is set to receive some Portal themed DLC. Defense Grid: You Monster is a full story expansion featuring GLaDOS, the menacing AI from Valve’s awesome Portal franchise. This time players will battle not only alien hordes, but the deviousness of GLaDOS as she tests your skills and changes all the rules. The DLC adds 8 new maps, 35 challenge missions, new achievements and over 15 hours of additional game play. Defense Grid: You Monster will be available December 7 for 400 MSP.
And there’s more! You might want to check out the latest update for the game, for this week a free update was released that gives your existing Defense Grid some UI updates, a few new game modes and over 30 new challenge missions so you have something to play “right now” while you wait for Wednesday to come. Don’t expect any cake though…
Winners have been chosen and will be emailed later today. Congrats to PlayingMantis (comment) and XFactoRe8 (Twitter)
In case you were not yet aware, the Xbox Live Arcade is currently running a special on some great games, including: PB Winterbottom, Defense Grid, Rocket Riot and more. We highly recommend you get in on this deal, as all the games are marked at 50% off, which means you are getting a great value for 400 Microsoft Points.
2k Games was kind enough to give us two codes for PB Winterbottom, however, they are for Steam and not Xbox Live Arcade. We are sure you will love the award winning adventure of PB Winterbottom and the mysterious Chronoberry Pie all the same though.
