Xbox Live March schedule: Block Party, Perfect Dark and more

As is becoming custom, Major Nelson has dropped the schedule for next month's offerings on Xbox Live Marketplace. March has quite a bit in store, particularly the Xbox Live Arcade Block Party, which will feature Rare's N64 classic, Perfect Dark. Other notables include Fallout 3 on Games on Demand, the Call of Duty: World at War map bundle for $20 and Street Fighter IV Avatar apparel. The schedule also serves as a reminder of other big March launches, including Microsoft's Game Room service and the "Desperate Escape" episode for Resident Evil 5.

Find the full schedule after the break.

I want a Avatar pet Blanka!!

Yes, and he needs to do electric thunder whenever you spin you avatar.

and call your avatar mama

then do a rolling attack, except giving you a hug at the end

So kinda like a whiffed rolling attack to throw then? I'd be down with that.

/confetti

Any reason why the Deal of the Week magically stops after March 8?

So you buy things before you know that they are going to go on sale, of course.

You...of all people should know why...Eggplant Wizard!

Excited for Perfect Dark. However, this update doesn't beat the awesomeness that was Cassandra's frohawk, nor her lesbian bodyguards turning into gay bodyguards!

:D

Can't wait for Perfect Dark. The firing range challenges will be so much less frustrating with dual analog sticks.

I stopped playing games for a while and got rid of my N64 around the time that Perfect Dark came out so my only experience with the franchise is (the disappointing) PDZ, so I'm very excited to finally see what all the hullabaloo is about this St. Patty's Day.

Wait. the DEAL of the week for March 1 is AVATAR CLOTHING???? i hope this trend does not continue...

agreed. lamest deal of the week ever. give us some games!

March 4: Major League Baseball 2K10

....I know I've been staunchly against playing digital dressup, but I have secretly been wanting a Twins jersey for my Avatar ever since the NFL jerseys debuted.

I can't wait for those two games! I'm not so sure about scrap metal though

march 17 Perfect Dark released called it!!!

Dec 14th 2009 9:05PM where the heck is Perfect Dark? I was hope full it would be out b4 Christmas but it don't look like that's happening, and all that's been reported is that it'll be released this winter and its winter and the last day of winter is March 19....................wait that's it March 17, 2010 Perfect Dark released, called it

that was the original post I predicted it if no one believes me

Well done, you.

Yay! Nothing against toy solider, but I wish it could switch release dates with perfect dark.

When are they going to release Doom 2 for XBLA?

I'm not interested in anything 'Block Party' has to offer.

At least I don't have to read about people pleading for Perfect Dark remake anymore.

So, what sort of SFIV avatar gear are we getting?

Want a complete Geif outfit, hairy chest, red speedo, mohawk and all.

Ok, now where's Fedge (Fez)?

Interesting game:) I've heard about it from Buy ambien
