Doom and Assault Heroes now only 400 MS Points


If you're looking for this week's new Xbox Live Arcade games, don't bother. There aren't any you see, because this week all we're getting is the newly discounted versions of Doom and Assault Heroes. Yes, they are now both considered Xbox Live Arcade Hits, and are now both available for only 400 MS Points each, half their original price. Seeing as these aren't new titles, we won't be putting together a new XBLA in Brief video this week. Suffice it to say that both are very good XBLA games and easily worth 400 points each.

Assault Heroes and Doom go half price this Wed

This Xbox Live Arcade Wednesday, we will sadly not be treated to any new Arcade releases. And we agree, that's a stinker. But there is a bright spot this week when, this Wednesday, March 19th, both the previously released XBLA games Assault Heroes and Doom will graduate to Xbox Live Arcade Hits status. And, as everyone knows, when an XBLA game becomes an Arcade Hit it means that its price gets slashed and in this case, in half to 400 Microsoft points each. No new releases is a bummer, but we haven't seen any new Arcade Hits since the program's launch in December so how could we not be thrilled for discounted XBLA fun? Remember, there's always next week.

Reminder: This week's XBLA releases are the Hits

Just in case some of you were still anticipating a new Xbox Live Arcade game announcement for tomorrow, then you should know that there isn't going to be one. Technically, the introduction of today's Xbox Live Arcade Hits program is this week's XBLA goodness. So, as a result, there will be no new Wednesday XBLA game release. But cheer up guys, because you can still pickup Bankshot Billiards 2, Lumines LIVE!, Marble Blast Ultra, Small Arms and Zuma Deluxe at discounted prices. What's that you say? You already own all of them and paid full price? Wow ... well, no XBLA excitement for you then. You have a right to be an angry troll this week.
