Series Xbox Live Arcade Update

It's a light week for full, retail releases, but on the downloadable side? Also sort of light. On Xbox Live, we're going to have Chime, which looks a lot like Lumines in both the style and gameplay. It's going to be made available on Xbox LIVE Arcade this Wednesday for 400
. Not only that, but "more than 60 percent of the purchase price of Chime will be donated to children's charities around the world, helping those who need it the most" according to the press release. AKA, awesome. For the deal of the week, Xbox LIVE Gold Members can purchase the Xbox LIVE Arcade title Splosion Man for 400 points until Feb. 7th. It's a good game, so picking it up is a good idea for cheapsies.

An exclusive Zoë Mode production for OneBigGame, the video game industry-wide charity initiative, Chime pits gamers against the melody in this all-new puzzle experience. Place blocks against the clock and remix famous artists’ music tracks in this challenging and addictive puzzle game. More than 60 percent of the purchase price of Chime will be donated to children's charities around the world, helping those who need it the most.
