The Xbox Live Deal of the Week typically only features one game and may occasionally go as high as two. Microsoft must have gone a little crazy this week because they have put three games on sale this week for 50% off and one Indie Game on sale for 66% off. All four games allow gamers to use their Xbox 360 Avatar in the game.
