Brains and Bliss make their XBLA debut [update]

Update: There was some confusion, but Bliss Island is in fact 400 Microsoft points.

Gather the siblings, kids and parents, it's Xbox Live Arcade Wednesday and we have two brand new releases! Both Gameloft's 800 point, mind straining Brain Challenge and Codemasters' ~~800 point~~ 400 point old-school Bliss Island are available for download right now and we're sure both games are eagerly awaiting your purchase. And to help with your downloading decisions, we've ever so kindly uploaded a few screenshots into their respective galleries below. Personally, we're committing to a Brain Challenge trial download, because we're curious to see how much of our noggin those virtual doctors think we use. Here's to hoping we obtain the genius stamp of approval!

Bliss Island is 800 points. Do you have a half-off coupon you'd like to share?

Ouch. I'd read somewhere else it was 400msp's too. And it still had a slagging for being crap.

WTF? Level 73 equation is ridiculously simple. Please tell me that this is not the extent of the challenges? Are they asking you what color blue is in the begining levels?

There will have to be some serious challenges to get me to spend points on that.

And anyone that finds those challenges "hard", please just walk in front of a bus and save us from your retarded replies.

The Microsoft Game Detail Page for the Xbox Live Arcade game title Bliss Island states the price to be 400 MS Points and so does the Xbox Live Marketplace.

Apparently, like the Undertow Expansion, someone over at the Microsoft Xbox Live Arcade Team got the price wrong this morning. The price has been reduced from 800 MSP to 400 MSP as was previously stated in Monday's Press Release.

What the fuck is with this obsession for working out gamer's brains? I constantly feel guilty that I am neglecting my brain now. I was watching TV last night and thought, "Man, maybe I should be working out my brain. Fuck....I don't know what to do."

Don't even get me started on the guilt I feel from going to the gym. I just started realizing that keeping my waistline down has taken up my brain training time.
