Beginning today Xbox Live Gold members will be treated to a 50% off sale of select Xbox Live Arcade titles. The Deal of the Week includes nine games total, five of which have co-op. All five of these games have couch co-op, which comes in handy if you have actual physical friends and family.
Every so often I get inspired to get my lift on so I can maintain my massive Torgue-like physique. Then I see the layer of dust on my Thigh Master, Ab Roller, and Shake Weight and I lose all interest. Lucky for me, I have a Kinect! Sure, it's dusty too, but I don't have to touch it. I find that a few minutes of playing Fruit Ninja Kinect each month is just enough exercise to keep me alive. I haven't died yet, so the science must be right!
Halloween isn’t just a time for people to dress up spooky, because many games also like to follow in the trend as well. In one week, the holiday event will arrive, and with it a bunch of games with hold their own Halloween-themes that fans can deck their games with.

We’ve put them through their paces and survived to tell the tale, though a great many fruits weren’t so lucky.
Fruit Ninja is a popular mobile app which has made the leap to the XBLA. Does the Kinect add anything to the experience? Yes it does. Watch me make a fool of myself in our Co-Op Review.
What the hell, August? You're killing me. This week we get a Gallagher emulator for the Xbox LIVE Arcade, and that's about it.
Who wants to play outside? No one, that's who. It's frick'n hot out there. The summer doldrums are upon us. The season is traditionally a gaming wasteland populated only by a few spartan releases. Good thing the XBLA has the Summer of Arcade, version 4.0. These downloadable titles wi...
