Xbox LIVE Content For Week of 4-3-2012 and Beyond

This week is fairly strong for digital content in the land of the Xbox, as there are quite a few things going on this week, from a duo of Xbox LIVE Arcade titles to a slew of digital sales catering to various SNK Playmore titles. As far as the XBLA games go, FarSight Studios’ The Pinball Arcade seems like a game to check out, as the developer has worked previously on the excellent Pinball: Hall of Fame franchise, and well, you can’t really go wrong with being a pinball wizard. This week also sees various discounts being given on SNK Playmore games, reducing franchise entries from The King of Fighters and Metal Slug to 50% off their normal price. Lackadaisical localization aside, these games are a pretty damn good deal at their sales prices, and it’s always good to go back to some retro coin-op goodness.

You can check out the list below for the full scoop on what is available this week as, well as a taste of things to come for next week!
