The Thrifty Gamer

Get ready, because it’s about to get serious in Xbox Live Arcade! February and March are synonyms of a gargantuan lineup of awesome games on sale on the Xbox Live Arcade! Why do I use such weird words like gargantuan? Because the lineup is so damn good it’s just gross.

Microsoft’s game-a-week-for-five-week’s schedule dubbed “Xbox Live Arcade House Party” will kick off this February 16th with a new title in Konami’s Contra series, Hard Corps: Uprising, with a price tag of $15. The following week marks the release of Bejeweled Blitz for $10, making it the first console port of Pop Cap’s addictive puzzle game, stirring away from social networks and mobile devices.

And, get this, that HD remake of Beyond Good & Evil? Well folks, the action adventure cult hit is coming to us March 2nd for cheap 10$ which, in this writer’s humble opinion, is a pretty damn good price tag for a game of such quality.

What’s that? All of these amazing games are not enough for you? My, are you the exquisite and picky one, old chap. Well, you’re in luck, because seven days after Beyond Good & Evil HD, you can get the Xbox 360 version of the popular Diablo-esque dungeon crawler, Torchlight, for 15$.

And, finally, the XBLA House Party concludes with the fun-filled multiplayer Full House Poker which is…well, poker! What else, you dummy!? It may not be a cult hit like Torchlight and Beyond Good & Evil, but this little poker game still promises to be a very fun social multiplayer experience!

So there you have it, you’re all ready and set up to start your transition from these cold winter days into spring. In case you don’t want to get any big budget games like Bulletstorm or Marvel vs. Capcom 3, you are more than covered with digital games for February and March…although, honestly, why wouldn’t you get MvC3?
