Tozai Games is pleased to announce that Lode Runner for Xbox LIVE Arcade is featured in Microsoft's new 'Sales & Specials' slot on the Xbox LIVE Marketplace dashboard. The critically acclaimed action platformer Lode Runner, initially released April 2009, is an inaugural title in this new promotional slot created to emphasize the great values available on the Xbox LIVE Marketplace, and has been permanently reduced in price from 1200 Microsoft points to 800 Microsoft points.

"This promotion is a great opportunity for gamers to rediscover some great titles and pick them up at the best possible price. I know I'll be checking!" said Sheila Boughten, president of Tozai Games. "We're excited that Lode Runner is the frontrunner in a promotion established to give gamers really great deals."

Also launching today is the first of two Lode Runner expansions filled with new crazy puzzling goodness and more Achievements for Lode Runner fans. The 'Skill Pack' features fifty new puzzles and eight crazed Hang On levels, as well as one new Achievement. The upcoming 'Journey Pack' will contain two new Achievements.

Lode Runner's game/level designer Brett Ballow commented, "The 'Skill Pack' is the first of two large level expansions we're releasing. It will be available for 160pts when the promotion kicks off while the 'Journey Pack' will be available for 240pts on April 13th, so there will be great deals for our diehard fans and new Runners alike."
