Xbox Gaming in South Africa

Xbox LIVE's annual Summer of Arcade promotion is officially open, with Supergiant Game's action RPG, Bastion, hacking & slashing its way onto the Xbox LIVE Marketplace. And if the Metacritic score of 88 is anything to go on, it's certainly worth your attention.

Bastion

Bastion is an action role-playing experience that redefines storytelling in games, with a reactive narrator who marks your every move. Explore more than 40 lush hand-painted environments as you discover the secrets of the Calamity, a surreal catastrophe that shattered the world to pieces. Wield a huge arsenal of upgradeable weapons and battle savage beasts adapted to their new habitat. Finish the main story to unlock New Game Plus mode and continue your journey!

1200 MS Points | Queue Download (558.46 MB).

As usual though, Bastion is not available on the local Marketplace, so a US/UK account will do wonders for those looking to get a piece of the action.

P.S. Don't forget, if you purchase all five games in this year's Summer of Arcade promotion by 23 August, you'll get Certain Affinity's upcoming action-RPG Crimson Alliance - valued at 1200 MSP - for free!
