Action-puzzle gameThe Splattersisnow half priceon Xbox Live Arcade, and since this isn’t a Deal of the Week, you won’t need to be an Xbox Live Gold member to partake. The game will be 400 Microsoft Points from July 10 – 16. Find it under the Sales & Specials section of the dashboard, or use that link.

I really dug the game, as did most of the people I know who bothered to play it, butThe Splattershasn’t yet managed to reach the wider audience it would especially appeal to. If they only knew how fun it is to dothe Flipstunt. You can’t go wrong at this price.
