Xbox Gaming in South Africa

The Xbox LIVE Arcade games library gets a +3 this week... well, at least, the international XBLA library gets a +3 - South Africa's Marketplace gets a +1 for trying.

Anyways, those sneaky locals with US and UK accounts (I presume that's everyone, right?), there's three new XBLA games to splash some cash on, including the classic remake of Galaga Legions - now with more things! - Backbreaker Vengeance - also now with more things! - and a hypersonic Japanese RPG game, that's surprisingly on the local Marketplace.

Galaga Legions DX *

GALAGA LEGIONS returns with greater features! Three years after the release of the sensational remake; GALAGA LEGIONS. This year marks the 30th Anniversary of GALAGA, a sequel to a classic title! Like the previous sequel, the world renowned Pac-man CEDX development team has worked on the title! With more intuitive and smoother controls, experience the great gameplay of famous battles with immense swarms!
