No reason for anyone to not grab Defence Grid or Red Dead Zombies if they have Red Dead at those prices.

I follow XBLA but no idea what these are?:

Faery: Legends of Avalon - 600
Gyromancer - 400
Unbound Saga - 160

???

Are there many people still playing Quake Arena? Am tempted to buy it but not if it's dead online.
Click to expand...
Yeah thats the one that I haven't already got I would be tempted for but I think the launch price killed it that even at 800 for now could be a little much.

XBLA really needs to look at it's selling prices now the platform has a huge number of games in the same genre, competing against retail games also, as well as XBLA sequels.

I think the price has hit the high end that only the smaller number of success story's can reach leading to the push for these sales.

Not sure about the other two, but Unbound Saga is a 2D side-scrolling beat-em-up game done in the style of a comic book.

whats the difference between the two red dead packs?
Click to expand...

The cheaper one is just the Undead Nightmare DLC on its own and the more expensive is a bundle that has all of the DLC for RDR.

Thanks for the info gonna probably get Monkey Island 2. Never managed to finish it on my Amiga, maybe now that I'm older and way smarter I'll know what to do with the mini croc.

If you just play SP, I would say just get the Undead Nightmare Pack for 400 MSP. The other one has all of the other DLC bundled with it, but its all MP stuff. The only SP DLC for the game, period, is the Undead Nightmare one. So just get it and save some points for some other games.

Lots of good deals on Xbox Live recently. I was not going to get Xbox Live Gold any more, but they offered me

Six Months of Xbox Live Gold
The Maw
R-Type Dimensions

for the price of three months of XBL Gold. Too good of a deal to say no. After Burner Climax looks good so I'll try the Demo and see if it's worth the money (it probably is). :p

Quake 3 Arena and Doom 2 weren't $10/5 respectively already?

WTF, MS. :|

Is Darwinia+ worth getting? The reviews for that are quite good, but I've watched a few videos and still don't know what the heck the game is all about.

Definitely getting Costume Quest.

Unbound Saga is hard to pass up for 2.00. I paid more for my coffee yesterday.

I'll buy Quake if there is a community left.

160 points for a XBLA title really is a tempting price.

The ratings seem average on the dashboard though.

The licensing stuff is regrettable, but the game still plays jut as well as it ever has. And aside from the menus, it has true widescreen.
