Some new releases today on the Xbox Live Arcade to talk about. Hardcore shmup fans will be salivating over one of the releases. The anticipation is over. Treasure's shooter, Radiant Silvergun, hit the marketplace today. Knowing it's from Treasure, prepare yourself for a hard challenge and thumb-blistering experience! Let's take a look at this week's XBLA releases:



Radiant Silvergun 1200 MSP

Radiant Silvergun, restored by Treasure, is now available! The shoot ‘em up gameplay that made this a legend remains unchanged, but a hidden "Ikaruga-style" shooting mode gives everyone something new.

In Renegade Ops you must defeat Inferno, a madman intent on global domination. Destroy enemies across a range of stunning environments using a wide variety of vehicles.

Xbox LIVE Deal of the Week September 13 - September 19, 2011

It's Tuesday, September 13th. So that means another Xbox Live Deal of the Week. Compared to previously weeks, this week's offering seems a bit sparse. However, were you fan of L.A. Noire? Those facial animations were really something, weren't they? Too bad the body animations didn't seem to be up to par with the facial animations. Nevertheless, the game has it's moments as well as an engaging story line. If you enjoyed the main story line, you might be interested in this week's deal - L.A. Noire Rockstar Pass. This basically includes all of the downloadable content in one convenient package.

XBLA releases for September 7, 2011

Quite a few interesting releases this week on Xbox Live Arcade. We even have the new incarnation of BloodRayne developed by WayForward Technologies. That should be interesting as they're they developers of games like Shantae and Contra for DS. As I would always suggest, check out the demos before you buy!

BloodRayne: Betrayal 1200 MSP

The original video game femme fatale, Rayne, has returned to battle and feed in a brand new hack ‘n slash adventure. Slay ghastly enemies as Rayne, the sexy dhampir with superhuman strength, speed, and agility, recruited by the vampire hunting Brimstone Society for one last mission. The target is a lavish, yet sinister ball in a secluded castle with plenty of dark and gruesome surprises. With the help of a mysterious friend, and members of Brimstone, Rayne must infiltrate the manor, take out the fiendish horde, and stop an evil master plot once and for all.

Crimson Alliance 1200 MSP

Explore the mystical world of the Crimson Empire in this action-RPG adventure. Choose to play as the powerful wizard, Direwolf; the battle-hardened mercenary, Gnox; or the mysterious assassin, Moonshade.

Work together combining your unique abilities against the nefarious Cult of the Soul Siren and the fearsome beasts they control. Can you stop them before their dark plans are complete?
