XBLA games 'Bionic Commando: Rearmed' and 'Fable II Pub Games' are now available to download for 800 Microsoft Points each.
The <b>Fable II Pub Games</b> include three exciting casino-style games set in the world of Lionhead's award-winning FableŽ series. The games include Fortune's Tower (a pyramid card game in which each row can make or break your fortunes), Keystone (a game of dice and chance with numerous betting options), and Spinnerbox (where luck is everything). When you get the retail version of Fable II, you can transfer gold and unique items that you've won in these pub games to your characters in the world of Albion.
Gold transfer to Fable II: Earn gold playing the Pub Games weeks before the Fable II release, and then transfer the gold into the world of Albion for a head start.
In-game unlockables: The Pub Games allow you to unlock game variants based on the amount your play regardless of wins or losses.
Bust out options: You have several options when you bust out. Participate in free tournaments paying off gold for time mirroring FII jobs, or utilize the credit system based on meta game's star rating.
Tournaments: Win 15 unique Fable II items in in the Pub Games via tournaments. You can even unlock new Fable II concept art, a first taste of Fable II for the hardcore.
<b>Bionic CommandoŽ Rearmed</b> sees a return of the intense 2-D side-scrolling, shooting, and grappling action from the much-loved 1988 Bionic Commando.

Bionic Commando Rearmed delivers two-player co-op, a frenetic multiplayer mode for up to four players, and a series of over 50 devious challenge rooms to test your swinging skills.
