‘Splosion Man Detonates At Discount Price
Got 400 points? Get exploding ...Published 02/02/2010 at 20:27.
By Lee C [Kovacs].
Infectious platformer ‘Splosion Man is this week’s ‘Deal of the Week‘. OK, so the week is nearly half over and we’re a little late bringing you this, but the challenging XBLA game is still available for 400 points, and will continue to be, up until February 7th.
With an 85% aggregate score on Metacritic, and the fact that it sports a whopping 50 levels and four player co-op, we’re thinking you need to come up with a better excuse other than “I’m a little uncertain about a game that starts with an apostrophe” not to get it.
For those of you who are already a-sploding and may wish to turn off potential new players due to the ongoing issue with co-op lag in the game, we’re happy to also mention that a patch released a few weeks ago has mitigated this niggling hiccup.
Thanks Destructoid

I’m a little uncertain about the fact that the first line tells me the game is called ‘Spolsion Man. :P

I’m always cautious about sentences which finish without a full stop.

Never played online, but it’s a brilliant single player, with a great sense of humour.
It’s just a shame it’s not out on the PS3 as well.
Definately a Grade A title.

thanks Kovacs!. I’ll get this. Why don’t you do xbl marketplace update just like the psn store update. Because most people like myself roll with both consoles. Thanks in advance

Wasn’t their talk about this hitting PSN soon? If not, guess I have to pick it up at XBL.

Out of interest, what’s the conversion rate of £ to xbox points?

I have been considering this game for a while. I have played the demo which was fun. I have a few points spare and I am thinking I will probably end up purchasing this before the week is out.

Will be playing on an Xbox 360 pretty soon (and regularly) so will get this sorted out. Top stuff.

Bought this on Monday. I gave the trial game a go a few months ago and I was going to buy it, but I was out of points at that time. I then forgot all about it, until I read that it’s the deal of the week.
Great game, and one I might even get the missus to play :)

After buying shadow complex before Xmas I had just 450 points left… what decent game could I get for that ‘money’… hmmm I’ll wait till a decent offer come on… two months later a game I really wanted has dropped to 400 points… Man… sometimes the planets must align just right! Loved the demo, love the game, gives me a nice fun break from the bleak but addictive Fallout 3 GOTY edition…
