Splosion Man Gets a Discount

If you take Chris’s word for it (and a lot of other people), Splosion Man is one of the best Xbox Live Arcade games of 2009. It was a great game at $10, but next week it’ll be 50% off and you’ll be able to grab the game for 400 Banana Bucks. That’s $5 in human money.

The sale runs all next week starting February 1st, so make sure to peel yourself away from Mass Effect 2 and pick this bad boy up if you don’t own it already. While you’re at, make sure you do not buy Halo Wars from Games on Demand for $29.99. It’s much cheaper used at GameStop and you can resell it later if you want.

Review: Splosion Man

For the past few years, I’ve labeled the summer and early fall as the official video game drought. The games I want always seem to come out in every other season besides summer. Since I’m still in school, the summer is the only real chance I get to sit down and focus on games. After looking through the marketplace, I stumbled upon Splosion Man. The game revolves around a little red man who can ’splode three times before needing to touch the ground again. There are 50 levels to traverse and you won’t be strolling through all of them.
