Are you sad that there’s no XBLA title today? Don’t be!

In addition to the arcade announcements we made yesterday, we are having a sweepstakes focused around Live Arcade! We’ll run the contest starting today (it is Xbox Live Arcade Wednesday, after all) and up through next Tuesday (2/6/07).

Correctly answer all of the questions below, and you will be entered into a drawing for 1000 Microsoft points! The answers can be found in the games mentioned (including the free trials).

To enter, send an email to arctriv@microsoft.com including your Xbox Live Gamertag, the email address tied to your Xbox Live Gamertag, and your answers to the questions below. 100 winners will be selected from the correct entries.

Trivia Questions:
1 - In Small Arms, the frenetic action shooter, in what city did Mousey McNuts, the lovable street urchin, grow up? (Quit laughing, that’s his name…)

2 - In Marble Blast Ultra, the 3D marble puzzler, what is the difficulty rating of the hardest single player level?

3 - In Cloning Clyde, the zany-side-scrolling platformer, how much money is Clyde offered for his help in the cloning experiment?

People in suits and black sunglasses are requiring me to state the following:

NO PURCHASE NECESSARY. Open only to legal residents of the 50 United States (includes D.C.) 18 years or older. Game ends February 6, 2007. For full rules including alternate method of entry, visit this link.
