  Amazon Begins Selling Xbox LIVE Arcade Games! Online retailer Amazon has just launched the Xbox LIVE Section on their web site where you can purchase subscriptions, points cards, and for the first time ever, Xbox LIVE Arcade games.  Here is how it works: You will be able to get your Xbox LIVE online game code immediately after purchase. Enter your code through either your Xbox 360 console or Xbox.com and enjoy. You can also gift your online game code after purchase via e-mail.

• Available Now: 3 on 3 NHL Arcade

  AVAILABLE NOW... EA's 3 on 3 NHL Arcade is available now on Xbox LIVE Arcade for 800 Microsoft Points. Game Details: EA SPORTS Freestyle™ welcomes you to the fast-paced world of arcade hockey. From the same team that brought you NHL® 09 comes 3 on 3 NHL® Arcade, a 3-on-3 experience that throws conventional hockey, and its rules, out the window. Choose from the NHL's top players and bring them into this no-rules hockey game where big hits rule the day. Power-ups: When you see a giant skating down the ice, you'll realize this is not traditional hockey. With eight different power-ups, from speed skating to giant goalie, on-ice mayhem is the only guarantee. Online game modes: Play against a friend one-on-one online or with up to three players a side. With leaderboards and ranked/unranked match options, 3 on 3 NHL Arcade is an experience best shared. Button controls: 3 on 3 NHL Arcade features two separate control schemes, the Skill Stick featured in the past three NHL titles, and all-new button controls. With everything mapped to the face buttons, including all-new trick moves, players of all skill levels will be able to jump right into the action. Trick moves: The new control scheme introduces trick moves and spin moves to the world of NHL. Spin out of the way of an oncoming check before batting the puck out of the air and past a diving goalie. Unique presentation: Bright lights and big heads make their way to the NHL franchise. Featuring exaggerated player looks, and a miniature rink, the game boasts a unique and lighthearted tone throughout. Player types: 3 on 3 NHL Arcade splits 40 of the top NHL players, representing every team in the league, into three distinct player types. Fast players specialize in dangling, Strong players bring extra power to their hits, and All-around players play a solid two-way game of hockey. Hard checking: The all-new physics-based checking engine introduced in NHL 09 makes a return in 3 on 3 NHL Arcade with one slight difference, every hit is huge. Hit a guy just right and don't be surprised to see him fly across the length of the ice.

• Xbox LIVE Arcade Update for Feb. 4, 2009

  R-Type Dimensions is available for download starting today on Xbox LIVE Arcade.  This updated version has both arcade classics R-Type and R-Type II overhauled with new 3-D graphics, but offers the ability to switch back to the original 2-D mode. The game supports full co-op support locally and over Xbox LIVE as well, and will set you back 1200 Microsoft Points for the full game. Full Details: We love the 80’s this month with “R-Type Dimensions” on Xbox LIVE® Arcade …sans cheesy love songs and fashion mullets Despite releasing during an era characterized by unfortunate haircuts and glam rock, 80’s arcade game “R-Type” managed to define the shooter genre – which is why Xbox LIVE is bringing this classic to our own Arcade with “R-Type Dimensions” on February 4. Coin-op classics “R-Type” and “R-Type II” come together as “R-Type Dimensions,” with original 2D and new, fully-enhanced 3D graphics. The classic game play remains untouched, while the all-new “Infinite” game mode allows even novice pilots the chance to complete both games in either solo or co-op play via Xbox LIVE. Published by Microsoft and developed by Tozai Games and SouthEnd Interactive, “R-Type Dimensions” will be available for 1200 Microsoft Points worldwide on February 4.  The game is rated E for Everyone by the ESRB.  For more details on “R-Type Dimensions” please visit: http://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/r/rtdimensionsxboxlivearcade/default.htm Posted Wednesday, February 04, 2009 7:15 AM from Cheap Xbox 360 - NEWS | 0 Comments Filed under: Microsoft News, Xbox Originals Deals, Xbox LIVE Marketplace Deals
