Microsoft’s latest Deal of the Week makesR-Type Dimensionsan appealing purchase amidst a torrent of other delectabledownloadables.
This week only, you can snatch the sci-fi, sidescrolling shooter for 800 Microsoft Points instead of the usual 1,200 Microsoft Points. According to Microsoft’s-LIVE-ManMajor Nelson’s math, this is a savings of 33 percent. Nice.

R-Type Dimensions, by the way, is a pseudo-fresh-take on the franchise. The game combines bothR-TypeandR-Type IIwith new visuals and camera options. It has multiplayer and an infinite spawn mode that, excitingly, allows you toactually beat R-Type. No need to ask mother for more quarters or tokens. (Sorry mom; I didn’t have the foresight.)
