Xbox Live Marketplace Upcoming Releases

Splosion Man is a great platformer on XBLA from Indie developers Twisted Pixel released last Summer
Major Nelson has posted another blog post detailing some of the biggest releases on Xbox Live Marketplace in the next couple of weeks.
There’s some cool stuff on there, like the Halo 3 Mythic Map Pack 2 for those who didn’t buy ODST, and a few more Games on Demand, but the highlight for me has to be Splosion Man as the deal of the week. If you haven’t downloaded this neat little platformer already (why not!?) then 400MSP is an absolute steal. I would highly recommend at least downloading the trial with a view to a purchase, as it is probably one of the most fun games on XBLA.
Here’s the list:

Feb. 1: Splosion Man, 400 Microsoft Points
