Before we get to the main topic, here’s a quick look at noteworthy deals and events on the Marketplace this week.

Deal of the Week: Bionic Commando Rearmed Half-off this week for Gold members. It’s 400 points ($5) rather than its usual 800/$10. This is a fantastic game, the first I got for my Xbox 360 in fact, and I think you’ll really like it. Definitely take advantage of this one!

And now, even better deals. Namely, free games.

This week’s topic will be old news to some of you, and I apologize in advance. But I spoke with a few readers recently who were completely unaware of some free games on Xbox Live, even though they’ve owned the system longer than I have. So it’s with this in mind that I’d like to point you to some of these titles, and I hope it helps you kill some time because most of them are actually kind of fun.
