Xbox Live Arcade (http://joystiq.com/tag/xbla) is heavy on the ampersands this week as both Axel & Pixel (http://www.joystiq.com/tag/axel-and-pixel) and the second season of Sam & Max (http://joystiq.com/tag/sam-and-max) (subtitled Beyond Time and Space, according to the ESRB (http://www.esrb.org/ratings/synopsis.jsp?Certificate=27168)) will be landing (http://majornelson.com/archive/2009/10/12/this-week-on-arcade-axel-amp-pixel-and-sam-amp-max-season-2.aspx) on Microsoft's download service. Both are games of the adventuring persuasion, requiring players to traverse the game world and solve puzzles, performing actions by pointing and / or clicking. Yes, you read that correctly, two adventure games in one week. It's like the 80s all over again.
Axel & Pixel will set you back 800http://www.blogcdn.com/www.xbox360fanboy.com/media/2007/11/microsoftpointslogosmall.gif ($10). Meanwhile, Sam & Max tops out at the most you should ever pay for a computer game. Also known as 1600http://www.blogcdn.com/www.xbox360fanboy.com/media/2007/11/microsoftpointslogosmall.gif ($20).
