Defense Grid, Yo-Ho Kablammo on XBLA this week

Anyone up for a double shot of Xbox LIVE Arcade this week? Well, we’re getting one either way. This Wednesday will see the release of two lesser known downloadable games, Yo-Ho Kablammo and Defense Grid: The Awakening. Both games have an asking price of 800 Microsoft Points.

I don’t recall ever hearing about Yo-Ho Kablammo before, and trust me, with a name like that, I certainly would.  Having no actual first-hand experience with the title, I want to say it reminds me of Capcom’s Age of Booty, but that could just be a generalization on my part.

Tower defense players can probably recognize Defense Grid, since this XBLA release is actually a port of the immensely fun PC game of the same name. Excluding any weird problems with transferring it from PC to Xbox 360 that could theoretically pop up, I can’t recommend this game enough.
