Posted August 24, 2012 A free XBLA game that actually looks decent... ...what's the catch? I bet it'll have 'optional' paid-for extras at least. :wink: still... free is free. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted September 4, 2012 A few cheeky games on sale this week. I'm tempted with Alan Wake. I really enjoyed the retail game but how does the XBLA game compare? It's not quite as enjoyable as the retail game was. Essentially, it's the Wake version of Groundhog Day where you revisit the same 3 locations over again with little variations each time. It's still worth a look, especially as it's half price, but don't go in expecting the same level of quality. There's also a score attack/horde variant mode where you have to survive against the Taken using whatever you can find in the level from dusk till dawn which is interesting but doesn't add a huge amount of longevity unless you want to go after high scores. ----------------------- Anyway, very tempted by Stacking at 300msp. And Limbo at 600msp. Really should have played those by now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted September 4, 2012 Just bought 3000 MS points so this is a tasty sale. I'll double-check it's the same in my region. Any suggestions on what's good money there? Assault Heroes 1 and 2 for 400 is a decent tag so I might get those. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted September 4, 2012 Oh my, Sonic Ep 2 (and Ep 1) is (are) tempting, even though I still have Generations lying around waiting to be played. I want Rayman 3 HD too but I haven't got a Gold subscription so I'll wait for it to go on sale for everyone. Should buy some more MSPoints, though, as I also want Dust and perhaps Deadlight.

Posted September 4, 2012 Look at that. I just happen to have 600 spare Microsoft Points. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 4, 2012 As it turned out, me too! So I bought Sonic and played Act 1-3 for now. Seems OK but might be glad that it isn't a long game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 4, 2012 Assault Heroes 1 and 2, Warp and Raskulls, methinks. Unless anyone has played any and would advise against it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted September 7, 2012 I've wanted JSR ever since FOREVER. Never had a dreamcast (borrowed one for a month or so) but loved the game concept. I am willing to purchase this without watching any videos (ever), in order to satiate 12 year old me. It will be glorious. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 6, 2012 ^ Au contrare! I played the demo and wasn't feeling it. Instead I've hit up Dust: An Elysian Tail, Shadow Complex and lastly Hell Yeah!, for the metroidvania goodness. I've still got to finish the game on a higher difficulty for Dust: AET (zombie summoners taking FOREVER to kill with my current level) and need to reach level 50 with Shadow Complex (made it to 38 after 3 runs, including the 13%. I figure it'll be two more runs). Hell Yeah! is stage-based, and I'm only on stage 3 so far, but one thing is for sure is that the game is extremely busy, visually speaking. There's been high amounts of polish to the game, which adds to the 'charm' (not really charming as such, but certainly quirky) of the game. It's like someone crossed Wario Ware with Alien Hominid squeezed into the 'adventure platform' mould. Not sure if it's a case of style over substance yet - each area has been surprisingly distinct so far - but again, only on area 3. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 13, 2012 Big XBLA sale starts next week. http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2012-12-13-enormous-xbox-marketplace-sale-starts-next-week I may check out The Walking Dead game due to the high praise it received. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 13, 2012 Walking Dead on sale you say? Schweeet! It's banned here in Australia so I'll be glad to snap it up on home soil. If the Lego games on demand are a reasonable price then I may get them too... and Mark of the Ninja - sorted Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 13, 2012 I'll hang on for the Skyrim stuff until the 31st, hopefully it's at a decent price. Been getting back into it recently. As for arcade titles, some interesting ones in the mix thats for sure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 13, 2012 Nice, I was thinking of picking the Skyrim DLC up at some point. Interesting that the Borderlands 2 Season Pass will be on offer, definitely be the cheapest way to get all the DLC until an "all dlc included" disk version comes out in the future.

Posted December 19, 2012 I wonder if Sonic 4 Ep 2 will eventually drop to 800 points then halve in a deal to 400... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
