Today only – XBLA platformers half-off

As the holiday shopping season winds to a close, take a second from dropping wads of cash on your friends, family and other loved ones and get a little something for yourself – and XBLA is making it crazy easy, because through today a number of platformers are on deep discount: More than a 50 percent slash in some cases. Hit the jump for a list of games you can nab for a steal today only:

• Fez – 400 MSP (normally 800)
• Hell Yeah! Wrath of the Dead Rabbit – 600 MSP (normally 1200)
• Sonic Adventure 2 – 400 MSP (normally 800)
• Rayman Origins (Games on Demand) – $9.99 USD (normally $19.99)
• Rayman 3 HD – 400 MSP (normally 800)
• Mark of the Ninja – 600 MSP (normally 1200)
• Trine 2 – 400 MSP (normally 1200)

This list includes some of the best gaming XBLA had to offer in 2012 – Fez and Mark of the Ninja were two of the best titles launched on the platform this year and are definitely worth a try, especially with those prices (we were also quite fond of Hell Yeah!). If any of these look enticing, get ’em while they’re hot – again, these discounts expire at the end of the day.
