Bust-A-Move, Military Madness and more on XBLA this week @ Gaming Target

Written by John Scalzo on September 28, 2009

News: And the XBL Deal of the Week is ten tracks for Guitar Hero: World Tour.

Microsoft will be serving up three new titles on the Xbox Live Arcade this week including a puzzle favorite, a strangely misnamed trivia game and a remake of a classic strategy title.

First, Taito's bubble-blowing dinosaurs Bub and Bob bring their puzzling ways to the XBLA with Bust-A-Move Live!. Also on tap this week is a trivia game for football nuts... European football nuts that is as the horribly misnamed Football Genius: The Ultimate Quiz is actually testing your knowledge of soccer. Finally, the Military Madness series of strategy games comes to the XBLA with Military Madness: Nectaris, an enhanced remake of the 20-year old original.

All three games will be priced at 800 Microsoft Points ($10) each.

More information on all three games can be found right here:
