[Update: The dates have now changed. Buku Sudoku was a Japanese only promotion this week due to the Guitar Hero DLC being on special. See notes]

Microsoft appear to have gotten the message - people want Xbox Live Arcade games in their Deals of The Week. After a month with 4 games at cut prices, October plans to continue the trend with 2 more.

Jewel Quest was the 18th game made available for Xbox Live Arcade, way back in March 2006. On October 12th [Was 19th] the game will drop from 800MSP to 400MSP. It's a different take on the Match-3 game style, but be warned - the game has certainly not aged well in terms of XBLA games, it looks rough just in terms of overall presentation, but it's still a decent puzzle game.

Finally on the 19th [Was 26th] Golf: Tee It Up will drop from 800MSP to 400MSP for that week. It's a solid Golf game created by Indie darlings Housemarque. I just wish they kept adding more courses, or did the smart thing of making Avatars playable.

Alongside the XBLA releases the Prince of Persia Epilogue DLC will be on sale for the week of October 5th [Was 12th], and will cost 560MSP instead of 800MSP, further showing publishers complete reluctance to drop anything not XBLA to the magical 50% mark.
