Microsoft is currently offering excellent discounts on eighteen Xbox Live Arcade titles including Trials HD, Outland and Shank. Most of the games are discounted by 50%, although there are one or two exceptions. These special offers are valid until next Monday, October 3rd.

However, some of the featured XBLA titles such as Outland are not yet available from the South African marketplace, so expect a smaller selection of discounted games to choose from if you’re using a SA account.
