On XBLA today: Half-Minute Hero, Galaga Legions DX, more

In a rather odd move, Xbox Live Arcade has been updated with four new releases this week. I guess they’re clearing out the queue in preparation for the Summer of Arcade later this month? Sure, let’s go with that.

• Half-Minute Hero Super Mega Neo Climax (800 MS Points)
• Galaga Legions DX (800 MS Points)
• Lucha Fury (800 MS Points)
• Backbreaker: Vengeance (1200 MS Points)

The original PSP installment of Half-Minute Hero made the device worth owning for me. Throwing it up on a console with tweaks and an (optional) new art style for $10? Smart. I’ve also heard promising words about Backbreaker: Vengeance — from Chad, no less. Weird week we’ve got here.
