Bastion

THE BUZZ: Microsoft’s 12 Days of Xbox Deals kicks off today, with a great XBLA game on sale, and number of other titles reduced during the entire event.

Today’s one-day deal is a great one: the epic adventure Bastion for 600 MS points, which is 50% off its usual price. Remember, this is for today only—so if you want it, grab it!

As well, Microsoft has clarified the list of games that will be on sale during the entire event. All of the following titled will be 50% off (sale price listed below) until January 2nd:

• Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet (600 MS points)
• Renegade Ops (600 MS points)
• Plants vs. Zombies (600 MS points)
• Peggle (400 MS points)
• Peggle Nights (200 MS points)
• BloodRayne Betrayal (600 MS points)
• After Burner Climax (400 MS points)
• Portal: Still Alive (600 MS points)

EGM’s TAKE: I hadn’t picked up Bastion yet, so I didn’t hesitate to snatch it up at this price (especially after all the praise my fellow EGM staffers have heaped upon it). Remember, there’s a new deal every day, so don’t forget to keep track of what specials are going on!
