It's another slow time this week on Xbox Live, but there is a new game and some great deals to be had. First, Matt Hazard:Blood, Bath, and Beyond hits the Live Arcade on Wednesday. The side scrolling parody of video game cliches can be had for 12oo Microsoft points ($15.00 USD).
That's a side scroller alright.
The Xbox Live Deal of the Week for January 4th is A Kingdom For Keflings, last year's sleeper strategy title on the Live Arcade that allows you to use your Xbox 360 Avatar to build a village for the Keflings, often in a hilariously brutal manner. For this week only you can grab it for 400 MS points ($5.00 USD), which is half-off.
If they say anything about how big your head is you can kick them really hard.
Finally, this week sees the criminally under-appreciated Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts release on Games on Demand for $19.99 USD (unless you're in Japan). Go buy this. Right now. It's like LEGOS only with ridiculous humor and surprisingly cutting satire about video games.
YOU CAN RIDE AN ENGINE WITH WHEELS.
