XBLArcade.com is holding a contest to reward its loyal readers and Tozai Games is teaming up with us to help motivate visitors to visit more often and post comments about the games we list. But that’s not all, this co-sponsored event is also designed to help generate awareness and interest in Tozai Games' titles as well as the Xbox LIVE Arcade as a whole community of great games and the individuals playing them. In essence, this is our way of saying thank you for being a gamer! And to do that, Tozai Games and XBLArcade.com will be giving away one game code of your choice between Lode Runner and R-Type Dimensions for Xbox LIVE Arcade.

Lode Runner - Confront crazed enemies in fresh sets of single-player levels and fun-filled co-op challenges, or lean back and master increasingly complex puzzles. Battle it out with endlessly spawning enemies in a feverish new mode, or challenge up to three friends in a cunning game of high speed tag, where the first to die are the first to avenge… as enemies! Create custom levels and host matches over Xbox LIVE®. Lode Runner is worth its weight in gold! Download the trial version of Lode Runner.

R-Type Dimensions - Fight through Bydo-infested stages in original 2-D or all-new 3-D graphics, and swap back and forth on-the-fly. The classic gameplay remains untouched, and a new game mode allows continuous progression from game start to the final boss. The Bydo will not evade you this time! Game modes can be played as single player or multiplayer missions, either locally or over Xbox LIVE®. Pull yourself together, save the Earth, and strike down the evil Bydo Empire! Download the trial version of R-Type Dimensions.
