Hero-of-Time Posted May 2, 2012 Posted May 2, 2012 But you were excited about Fable: The Journey soo.... What can I say? I like Fable.
Murr Posted May 2, 2012 Posted May 2, 2012 Think I'll give the trial a blast first. But I expect I'll end up getting it, As you've said... It's Fable.
Magnus Posted May 2, 2012 Posted May 2, 2012 I didn't even like Fable 3 much. Or Fable 2, really. The first Fable was alright for what it was, I guess.
Shorty Posted May 6, 2012 Posted May 6, 2012 I'm pretty impressed by Xbox Rewards. I've earned 1100 points with them since it launched. The 300 points from Triple Play and 200 points from renewing Xbox Live has given me enough of a boost to afford Minecraft.
ViPeR Posted May 9, 2012 Posted May 9, 2012 Xbox Rewards is underrated. I must've picked up a good 800 since last year which allowed me to get Fez
Hero-of-Time Posted May 9, 2012 Posted May 9, 2012 Yup, rewards is such a neat feature. You get free MS points for doing very little. If you're lucky you can also get free games. I've just checked my balance and see I have the Triple Play points pending. I didn't even know I had qualified for those.
Ike Posted May 9, 2012 Posted May 9, 2012 I got 800 points last month. Don't think I even did anything* Will go towards Sonic 4 Episode 2, or Eternal Sonata. * Might have been a promotional thing since I just joined.

Shorty Posted May 9, 2012 Posted May 9, 2012 I've just checked my balance and see I have the Triple Play points pending. Those went from Pending into my account today, just in time for Minecraft Speaking of which, if anyone has never played Minecraft and downloads a trial today, finding it to be a fantastic game... consider the PC version instead. They're about the same price but the Xbox game is beta 1.6.6 whilst the PC game is final release 1.2.5. PC version also has a huge modding/texture community. Just food for thought!
Happenstance Posted May 9, 2012 Posted May 9, 2012 We also have an NE server from time to time when enough people decide to join in :p
Hero-of-Time Posted May 9, 2012 Posted May 9, 2012 Those went from Pending into my account today, just in time for Minecraft Just checked now and mine have also went into my account.
Ike Posted May 9, 2012 Posted May 9, 2012 You never played this, Ike? Nope. Been meaning to pick it up but never got round to it. Thought a boxed copy was getting hard to find but Amazon has some copies, might get it from them. Heard some mixed opinions, is it good?
Hero-of-Time Posted May 9, 2012 Posted May 9, 2012 Heard some mixed opinions, is it good? I loved it. The graphics and enviroments are outstanding and the story and characters are very likable. It's short for an RPG, lasting about 20 hours on your first playthrough. But it requires multiple playthroughs if you want 1000G off it, if that's your thing.

Nice, could do with some shorter RPG's Will pick it up soon then

Dog-amoto Posted May 11, 2012 Posted May 11, 2012 Just checked now and mine have also went into my account. How do you check if you have points pending? I'm sure I qualified but they're not in my account yet.
Hero-of-Time Posted May 11, 2012 Posted May 11, 2012 How do you check if you have points pending? I'm sure I qualified but they're not in my account yet. You go sign into rewards and then its on the bottom next to the other options like Bonus Rewards and VIP Rewards.
The Peeps Posted May 13, 2012 Posted May 13, 2012 Has anyone checked out Awesomenauts yet? It's crazy, manic fun!

On Xbox 360, they will be split into two 800 Microsoft Point consisting of Alex Kidd, Shinobi and Hang-On in one set and the Wonder Boy games in the other set. The second round of titles will hit on May 30. Golden Axe Collection and Streets of Rage Collection will be released exclusively for Xbox 360, priced 800 MSP each set. Golden Axe Collection includes the 1989 arcade Golden Axe game and the Genesis/Mega Drive Golden Axe II and Golden Axe III. Streets of Rage Collection includes Streets of Rage I, II and III.
ViPeR Posted May 18, 2012 Posted May 18, 2012 These collections better actually be co-op enabled. They completely screwed up with the Megadrive Collection. Fancy having no online multiplayer!
Dog-amoto Posted May 18, 2012 Posted May 18, 2012 Has anyone finished Fez with all 64 cubes and found the last secret? I need to get some of those crappy 3D glasses now!
