I would if I used my X360 more than once in a blue moon. Hell, my gamer pic is still the default (a close-up of a dog), haha.
I'll poke around the Indies section and see if anything jumps out.
Cheers.

This isn't the cel shaded PoP, right?
GoD sales maybe can be tracked here once it kicks in: http://marketplace.xbox.com/en-US/Games/GamesOnDemand?sortby=BestSellingToday Unless it does something stupid like rank by revenue, then all bets are off.
Indie games: For 80 pt game the dev receives like 75cents straight into their bank account (each quarter) as long as they make $250 or something like that.
Some games from gaffers:
Apple Jack 1/Apple Jack 2
Hypership out of Control
Bonded Realities
Alawishus Pixel
Aesops Garden
Hidden in Plain Sight
Orbitron: Revolution
...probably missing others

There is none.
they lied to me!
Kameo shouldn't be missed anybody. It's aged extremely well and is arguably Rare's last great game before Microsoft dumbed them down (I never played B-K:N&B). For achievement fans purists looking to get all the achievements though, good luck because the co-op is non-existent at this point; it was deserted years go.
I'm thinking about checking out GRAW, Conan, as a well tennis game or two. Which ones would you guys recommend? I played Rockstar Table Tennis at the now defunct Virgin Megastore a couple of years ago. I'm interested in checking out either the Sonic one or Virtua Tennis 2009. Do any of those games have any crazy mini games?

The sonic tennis is pretty fun and I believe it has mini games.
Hell no. PDZ isn't even worth a cent.
But nice to finally see a sale.
Yep, it starts absolutely awful but then becomes such a beautiful and fun game. And sadly it's also kinda unique, the only game that has the same feel is Majin.
Plus it has surprisingly 'deep' gameplay, no comparison to VT.

But is it good enough to spend 6-10 hours of your life on?

Nope, it's the arguably better 2010 version. The love on this for the PoP:Nosubtitle version is crazy. I know y'all love some cel shading but dayum.

That, good sir, is an existential question the likes of which cannot be answered without deep reflection and some soft indy rock background music. Unfortunately, all Conan has is violence and boobs.

Yeah, I was thinking of POP like everybody else, and Bionic Commando maybe.
I should pick up PDZ. At launch I bought it along with PGR3 because the pickings were so slim, and hey, gotta have a FPS right? Played it for a while, never completed it, traded it.
I'd buy it now just to compare awful first gen 360 graphics to todays, once in a while. Would be pretty fun to compare it to the likes of Crysis 2 or Halo 4.
LOL I still remember GAF invented this roller coaster meme for PDZ, cause they'd say "looks horrible!" *next batch of screens showing new area* "looks pretty good!" next batch "looks terrible again!" etc...
No, in retrospect, it just looked horrible, lol.

Download the demo and ty it out yourself.
Shit how many hours do we waste on here. It can't be that bad.
I gave them my 4 bucks and I'll find out later.

It was a rhetorical question haha.
I re-downloaded it yesterday and played it for a bit and decided even finishing the demo just wasn't worth it.
Not that I'm judging because I've played my share of average/mediocre games but I've learned with the backlog I have, playing average games just isn't worth the time anymore.

Conan is pretty good so far, I think it is worth $4, compared to Wolverine and Green Lantern games I don't think it is as polished a game as those, but I think paid like $12 for those games so Conan is still a decent buy.
Decided to get Kameo also will try that and Dark Void soon.

You guys have sold me on it. I'll definitely be checking it out. I've been wanting to check out a tennis game for the longest. Also, on Conan. GRAW is still on the to check out list. I'll think about Table Tennis.
Table Tennis is worth it as well, I have both and would definitely say both are worth it.

Wow I almost posted this same thing. Hardly remember the game but I remember this.
think so. it had a lot of over the top moves.
just checked on google and yes you could do a piledriver.

Thanks. Too bad I can't buy it... Maybe one day.
Having bought PoP: TFS for ten bucks last Black Friday, I can say it's pretty good and an easy 1000 achievements. The platforming is great; particularly once one gets the freezing power which is when it becomes fantastic. While it isn't no PoP: SoT, it's definitely better than PoP:TT. The combat is pretty decent too.
I suppose it's worth a check then. It's too bad the MP community must be dead unless it gets revived by people who buy the GoD version.

Hopefully they will do this more regularly, a la Steam. And not just with really old games.
From the achieve trophies thread:
I've 1000'd Cloudy w/ Meatballs, Open Season and VP Party animals from the list. I also have Kameo/Conan/PDZ/Rockstar TT and Sega tennis from this list but haven't played them yet.
Yeah I mean who is buying these old games at retail anyway? At least you can get some money from this. Hopefully the sale goes well and we'll see more of this. Some underrated games could really benefit from this.
I still want to know where bionic commando went.
