Takedown: Red Sabre successfully infiltrates Xbox 360 after delay

After a delayed raid, squad-based first-person shooter Takedown: Red Sabre is out now on the Xbox Games Store, priced $15 in North America and £12/15 euros across the ocean.

The Kickstarted shooter from Washington-based indie Serellan was originally due to hit both Windows PC and Xbox 360 last year, but the developer had to delay the console version because it didn't pass certification requirements. That was fixed, but Serellan chose to hold the XBLA game back to add in post-launch improvements made to the PC version. The newly released XBLA version also features the free DLC that was added post-launch, and that includes a range of new maps as well as some additional weaponry to mow one another down with.

Xbox 360 kicks off a week of Ultimate discounts, Halo: Reach on sale today

The Xbox Games Store has another round of Ultimate sales going, and going by recent editions you may find your wallets and purses aren't safe. As per those previous sales, there are a bunch of games that'll stay discounted throughout the week - we'll get onto them in a mo - and there'll also be one-day-only sales going on from day to day.

Highlights from the first one-day-only batch include Halo: Reach, down 75 percent to $7.49/£6.29/7.49 euros, or if you prefer things stealthier and with less Chief, Dishonored is going for two thirds off at $9.89/£8.29/9.89 euros. On the Arcade side, auto-runner Rhythm 2: Future Legend of Rhythm Alien is a 87 percent-off steal at $1.94/£1.29/1.87 euros.

Moving on to the games that are on sale throughout the week ending February 25, there are plenty of big name titles on offer including Portal 2, Mass Effect, Driver: San Francisco, Arkham City, Fable 3, Rock Band Blitz, and Alan Wake's American Nightmare.

Today, however, our eyes are inevitably drawn to the madcap rollercoaster of rage that is Capcom's Asura's Wrath. If you've not yet experienced its brand of quick-time insanity and gradually growing ire, you can remedy that with an 81 percent discount that slams it down to just $7.59/£5.69/7.59 euros.

Head over to Major Nelson's blog for the full list of games on sale. [Image: Microsoft]
