It’s almost 2011, and – possibly, depending on your subscription to superstitious predictions – that much closer to a fireball apocalypse, so what better way to celebrate the beginning of the end than blowing all your pension cash on game deals? Remember, a subterranean bunker in your garden probably won’t save you from robot velociraptors with laser guns, so it’s a waste of money.
Xbox LIVE is hosting a Countdown to New Year’s Eve promo, with a bunch of games discounted on the Marketplace between now and 31 December. In addition to daily specials, the following games will be going cheap for the duration of the event:
- Super Meat Boy (33% off)
- Comic Jumper (33% off)
- Toy Soldiers (33% off)
- Banjo-Tooie (50% off)

- Risk (50% off)
- Borderlands: Claptrap New Revolution (50% off)
- Carcassonne (50% off)
- Afterburner Climax (50% off)

There’s also a free pair of stupid-looking really rad 2011 Avatar Glasses, and a big sweepstakes competition that nobody outside of America is eligible to enter so stuff that.
Due to chaotic fluctuations on the time-space continuum and implacable planetary rotation, today’s daily specials are technically actually yesterday’s daily specials, and only valid until noon or so. Until then, they’re:
- Perfect Dark (XBLA game, 50% off)
- Modern Warfare 2 UAV (Avatar accessory, 50% off)
