It can probably safely be said that Microsoft's Arcade NEXT promotion met with great success. After all, not only did Trials Evolution break the single-day sales record on XBLA, but Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition followed along a couple weeks later and shattered that mark.

This may explain why the publisher is feeling so generous and has marked down many items on the Marketplace. The full list of XBLA titles and Game Add-ons that are being discounted for the next week are listed below. As always, links to download content are included in the sale prices.

Picking up Fusion Genesis, Real Big Shootin', Raam's Shadow and maybe the mutliplayer packs for both GoW3 and Reach.

Great selection here. Annoyed that the Big Pack for Trials HD still isn't for sale. I already got Big Thrills last time it was on offer.

Still haven't picked up Trials HD or Castle Crashers, but I've already spent so many points on games recently! I'll have to think about it, but those are some pretty great deals.

Just a quick question before I go ahead and buy it, is Fusion Genesis worth getting? Anyone not like it?

Confused Shelf said:Just a quick question before I go ahead and buy it, is Fusion Genesis worth getting? Anyone not like it?I enjoyed what I played of it a lot. It's quite large for an XBLA game. To be fair, my memory of it isn't great, but I do remember menu navigation being a bit of an issue. Still, if you like quest-based game, you'll like it. Plus, if you have a Windows phone and Fusion Sentient, you can work on your sentient there to help you with the game. ;)

I am currently using a friends xbox because I am away from home.... If I buy any of these items will they download to his xbox and cause me to not be able to use them on my own xbox? Or is it tied to my gamertag and I can save on a usb drive and move them to my xbox..

What a sale! Something for everyone surely... Trials HD, and the DLC for me, also bought Orcs Must Die, after kicking myself for months for missing it on DotW in January.

What is Fusion Genesis like? Never heard of it but the review here on TA is a good one. I think I'll trial that one when I get time. Since I also bought Minecraft today, after seeing that it will get good support, I've spent 3400MSP today.

At last, a good XBL sale, after all the DLC sales that were beginning to alienate me from DotW.

Worms and Castle Crashers and Haunted on DOTW and maybe the Worms and Kinect sports DLC. Love it but it's a pain that they all came at once! Nothing for weeks now a mega haul!
