There are more than a few bits and bobs to check out on the Xbox Live Marketplace this week, with three new games hitting the Xbox Live Arcade, including the free-to-play Spartacus Legends, Magic 2014 and Doodle Jump for Kinect.

You can also get half off a bunch of Microsoft Studios titles, such as Limbo, Sine Mora, Toy Soldiers, Bloodforge, Spelunky and others.  You can also take advantage of the Call of Duty: Black Ops II sale, which promises money off DLC and so forth.

You can also pick up Tiny Tina's Assault on Dragon Keep for Borderlands 2, as well as Gears of War: Judgment's Lost Relics Map Pack. BioShock Infinite, Omerta and Army of Two: The Devil's Cartel also come to Games on Demand, if you're interested.

  • from jupiter's cock!
  • I'm still waiting on a Mass Effect 3 DLC sale. Missed the earlier ones. Come on ....
  • tiny tina :)
  • OK whats the catch with Spartacus, is that truly free or is it got extra content you need to buy to play the game? Toy Soldiers: cold war for me.
  • @4 what i gathered its pay to kit out your gladiator with better clothes & weapons. With single player "story" & the usual MP shit. In my opinion its free so who gives a shit. I honestly got hooked on happy wars. FREE....... Also for me BL2 DLC. Though tiny tina irritayes the hell out of me.
  • Hopefully the Spartacus game is as good as the tv show.
  • Gonna be picking up magic for sure.
  • Lol Black Ops 2 content UP TO 50% off, I remember they said that earlier this year and the biggest price drop was like 10 bucks, what an absolute rip off that was
  • Magic 2014 for me
  • GoWJ DLC is 1000 points ??? What are they thinking about charging so much for just a bunch of maps and a new game mode
  • @10 I am pretty sure every other DLC for games cost 1200 pts for "a bunch of maps and a new game mode." have you been sleeping under a rock?
  • #10 they are just milking people because the game is horrible and sold terribly
  • GoWJ has achievements and people sometimes buy DLC just for the achievements. Well that's why I'm assuming its 1000msp. Hopefully the Blops2 deal is actually a deal and not a few bucks taken off.
  • @13 Lol I highly doubt it will actually be a good deal.. activision are money whores :D
  • Spartacus!
  • I still haven't played Limbo.. Maybe ill get that.
  • Free games alway lovely offer by whoever publishers want bring free games. I understand sometime they meant say thank you to buy our games and we give free away game. This is something is lovely. :P
  • I feel like I should not pay for those kind of dlc like the one in gowj here just for achievements and a few maps. What do you think?
  • What are the Blops II sale items?...i cant find it no where on the dashboard..
  • I AM SPARTACUS!
  • Got Limbo, good so far. Weird playing a game that doesn't provide any button prompts at all, can't even remember what that felt like it's been so long. Also have Toy Soldiers: COld QWar from a while back so I'll be trying to round up people to do the MP achievements with.
  • Can you guys deatail the Black Ops sale?
  • ENOUGH WITH THE XBLA SALES! What about sales for DLC????????????
  • @ 22: Revolution, uprising and season pass have not been adjusted. The skins are 160 right now and I have no idea what they were before.
  • Spartacus Legends is F2P? Interesting. I'll have to try that out.
  • Bioshock Infinite on GoD hopefully this means the Season pass DLC is coming out soon... I CANT WAIT!
  • Apart from Spartacus Legends, not alot there for me this week. Can't say no to a free game.
  • @6 The TV show got very boring after the second season, Also WAY to much cock for my liking!
  • I wonder what they're waiting for on the black ops 2 stuff. I just looked on Xbox.com and everything is still regular price
  • Did they actually say it was DLC? The game's 39.99. Avatar items are 50% off now. I think we may have misinterpreted.
  • Magic 2014 for, although I'll probably get it on my PC. Great games, but it just flows better with a mouse.
  • Magic 2014 all da waay!!
  • No Black Ops 2 DLC sale going on apparently. The only things on sale are the things nobody buys anymore..
  • If you haven't played it folks, buy Spelunky. The game is outstanding.
  • yeah spelunky finally. Plus getting dragon keep as part of the season pass
  • Black Ops 2 sale is a crock of shit, the games about the price it was when it came out in retail and the DLC's not been reduced, was banking on the season pass being dropped. Bugger it, bring on pay day, I'll get Spelunky then I think.
  • I want a Mass Effect 3 and Forza Horizon DLC sale. Anyone with me?
  • Can't wait to play with all you in MAGIC 2014!!!
  • Microsoft puts XBLA games on sale but doesn't put the DLC on sale too? This is a good example of why Deal of the Week always gets bad feedback and people prefer the competition. They put everything on sale instead of a few pieces at a time.
  • Guess I should go check and see the if Revolution is on sale.
  • GoWJ season pass and skins are on sale if anyone is interested in them. The pass is 25% off and the skins are up to 50%
  • I've been waitin ages for cold war to drop, now that it has you got to be gold to get it for 600, fuck em bring on spartacus!
  • CAPPUA ... SHALL WE BEGIN?!
  • Repeat deals for games that are worth thier discount. BUT most have dlc that out ways the discount. So you still spend same or more. Dam U toy solders
  • I recommend Perfect Dark, at $5 its a steal.
  • waiting for borderlands 2 dlc to go on sale , like the first one i remember seing the dlc sale all the time
  • The only Black Ops 2 stuff on sale is avatar items, great job Activision.
  • @2: Same here. I need Citadel and Omega, and i'm definitely not paying $15 for it. I'm waiting for at least a 33% off sale on them. It's been long enough by now that I would think they would warrant a sale, since I doubt i'm the only one waiting for one.
  • Follow me on twitter @Pickett_shaun
  • Bloodforge? Is it good/worth the money?
  • @47 yeah that really is taking the piss, glad I never bought that shite :)
  • Yea I already have most of those arcade games already. But Spartacus is free can't argue with free I'll check that out. Also, bought the Borderlands 2 Season Pass back in the Christmas sale for 1800MP and haven't even played the DLC yet. So definitely going to give Tiny Tina's a play and all the other DLC. Also, when the hell are we getting a Mass Effect 3 DLC sale, WE NEED ONE!!
  • They ought to be giving us 400 points for that abortion of a game abusing the Fire Pro name.
  • @2 I am also waiting for the same. I haven't started the game yet, so I'm playing every other game I have until the DLC goes on sale. The standard prices are outrageous for it.
  • Magic 2014 was out on android Tues so I've spent the day playing it on my tablet. For those who wanted deck building, you'll love the sealed pack campaign mode. Though I'll get this for PC before the x360 version.
  • I highly advise anyone interested in Spelunky to do your research before purchasing. Most notably, the style of game it is as far as limited lives and starting over from the beginning again. No continues, no saves, it's like a classic NES game and horrendously frustrating if that isn't your style of game. Not bashing the game in the slightest but make sure you know what you are getting into before purchase.
  • Hey Gears of War Judgement Season Pass on sale for 1200 points
  • Limbo and Bloodforge for me. Been waiting ages for a Limbo sale and I liked the demo for Bloodforge. Cant wait to download Spartacus.
  • I cantfid spartacus
  • Think I'll finally pick up Sine Mora. Anyone who hasn't played Limbo or Spelunky should get the hell on that.
  • I guess I have no excuse to not pick up Limbo now.
  • @59 you have to enter search mode and type in spartacus for it to show up. I'm downloading it now :). Spoke too soon about Bloodforge IGN gave it a 4.
  • @59 forgot to add from the xbox 360 dashboard lol.
