Rocket Bowl -Full Game: 800c

“Purchase the full version of ROCKET BOWL and get rolling on all 10 out-of-this-world courses. Compete in tournaments, challenge your friends in multiplayer, test your skill in mini-games and more. You’re not just bowling… you’re ROCKET BOWLING! This game requires the Xbox 360 hard drive or the 512MB Memory Unit for storage.” - Major Nelson

Shotest Shogi -Full Game: 800c

“You may know chess, but do you know shogi? This challenging and exciting strategy game is arguably the most popular board game in Japan. Now, Shotest Shogi arrives on Xbox LIVE® Arcade with world-class A.I., 16 challenging computer opponents, online multiplayer, gorgeous 3-D boards, and a beautifully rendered Japanese setting. Shogi veterans can jump right in and play, while newcomers will learn the basics and finer points through animated tutorials and puzzles. Once you experience Shotest Shogi, you’ll understand why the Japanese are so fascinated with the game!”

  • Interactive tutorial: Much more immersive than a simple walkthrough, the interactive tutorial has lessons and challenges to help the player learn the game and have fun.
  • Challenging opponents: Play against world-class game A.I., with sixteen opponents featuring a range of human-style play. In local career mode, unlock new opponents as you defeat them. Earn a higher rating as you successfully play career games.
  • Multiplayer: Play online against some of the world’s greatest Shogi players on Xbox LIVE.
  • 3-D environments: Play in two beautiful Japanese locations, with realistic pieces on a Kaya-wood Goban board.
  • Add-on packs: Get the advanced Shogi teaching packs; it’s the easiest way to learn.

Samurai Shodown 2 - Full Game: 800c

“The classic fighting game Samurai Shodown II® comes to Xbox LIVE® Arcade in all its action-packed glory! Haohmaru is attacked by a sinister assailant. This would-be assassin has been clearly manipulated by an evil force, and promises with his last breath to own Haohmaru’s soul. Haohmaru’s mentor and fencing master insists that Haohmaru stay away from the evil forces and avoid confrontation, but this he cannot do. The two share a few drinks to celebrate their reunion after a long separation, but at dawn, Haohmaru slips out unannounced to embark on his journey. An audacious smile plays on his lips.”

  • Classic fighting action: Widely considered as one of SNK’s greatest games, Samurai Shodown II on Xbox LIVE Arcade brings you all the great action of the original in a next-gen format.
  • New fighting techniques: Learn to parry, roll, duck, and hop.
  • Multiple characters: Sixteen unique playable characters are included. Choose your favorite and rise to the top.
So there it is everybody. Enjoy! See you next week!
Durka!
