Today on XBLA: Banjo Tooie & Virtual On

Banjo Tooie and Virtual On - XBLA

Sad because the Days of Arcade ended last week? Don’t be, because Microsoft are releasing two big titles today to help you get over it.

Banjo Tooie – 1200 Microsoft Points

Back for a rematch, shame about the odds!

You don’t have to wait two years for the sequel this time: following the restoration of the original bear ‘n’ bird outing in 2008 comes their second excellent adventure in 2009. Xbox Live Arcade is once again the battlefield, so prepare to confront a skeletal Grunty, her ugly sisters, Klungo, Gruntlings, Minjos and the odd unfortunate zombie Jinjo…

Virtual On – 1200 Microsoft Points
