This Week on Xbox Live [XBLA & DotW]

In a slightly later spot this week than usual - we're blaming all that Christmas turkey... it's polluted our minds! - is this week's edition of "This Week on Xbox Live," featuring discounted classic warriors and some insanely pint-sized fun multiplayer antics.

Up as this week's 'Deal of the Week' is Spike TV and Pipeworks Software's Deadliest Warrior, which can now be purchased for 400 Microsoft Points, down from the usual 800. It's a game that throws warriors from different time periods into an arena to duke it out till there's only one left standing. So if you ever wanted to know who would win in a fight between a Viking and a Ninja, then check it out. Although, we all know the ninja wins that one. D'uh!

If you've already got Deadliest Warrior, how about dressing your Avatar up in some of the game's discounted gear, including a Samurai Helmet (from 160 MSP to 80), a Spartan Helmet (from 160 MSP to 80) and/or a Spartan Shield (from 160 MSP to 80).

This week's Xbox Live Arcade though is something special and if you've got World of Keflings or ilomilo, then chances are you have already bought this through those. Yes, I'm talking about the hugely addictive and massively fun, Raskulls, which is coming this Wednesday for 800 Microsoft Points. How fun you ask? Well, it consumed our life at PAX this year, so check this out and you'll see.

Don't also forget that Dead Rising: Case West released yesterday for 800 Microsoft Points, so head here to queue that up if that interests you.
