You know, speaking of Shadows of the Damned, I hope that one day we can get more Suda titles like Lollipop Chainsaw as BC.
I'd also ask for No More Heroes: Heroes' Paradise too cause I really want that one but.....you know.....

Oh man. I am sold on backwards compatibility. I never thought much of it and I've been wanting bomberman, but not enough to pay 50 on the switch and behold, I get bomberman battlefrst for $2.49!!! Few more games I'm about to buy too.
Maybe. I just completed it in co-op and while it's obviously not as good as the others, it's decent enough in its own right. It does reuse a lot of assets and have optional missions that become predictable, which isn't too bad when playing with a friend, but I could imagine it becoming a chore solo.

I highly recommend both Cars 2 and Toy Story 3.
I could be getting 10+ games during this sale, great stuff.

It's great! Awesome dark tone, fun gameplay, killer soundtrack.
I've said it before, but I'm so happy I went with 360 multiplatform titles last generation and can't wait to see the games on Scorpio with improved loading times, 16xAF and hopefully an almost locked framerate. It's good stuff.

Absolutely worth it. Especially as it comes with the first game for free when you dl the EA Pass.
It works just fine on Xbox One. I've personally played to the halfway point on the first game.

Does anyone know if American McGee's Alice works on Xbox One?
Or only Madness Returns?
^Edit.. thanks for the reply in the above post. I'm jumping on this.

Don't think I've ever downloaded EA Pass yet the first game still shows up as being owned when I went to the DLC section in the store.. maybe I downloaded it when the game was first released w out actually buying the sequel? I dunno
It can be frustrating waiting for the drip-feed of BC games every week, but this really highlights the amazing work they've done on it. Their promise to keep the library going makes it easy to be confident in digital purchases (quality of the game itself notwithstanding). I've been mostly keeping up and I still spent a ridiculous amount in this sale.
Bayonetta is about all that's left on my "watch out for a sale" list... c'mon Sega (add Vanquish while you're at it).

That was just on sale recently.

Alice was gorgeous and has a great style, but I found the combat and platforming was very repetitive and got boring.
$5 is a great price though.

What time is it?
I wish it was a third of the length that it ended up being. It's a neat game but I was really glad when it was over.

Wait wait the first Alice is also included for free??? I thought it was only available as a pre-order or something!
Now it's on the list!

I've got a few bc games but I'm looking to stock up in this sale. A lot of these games I haven't played before. What are some of your guys gems/picks?
I've seen shadows of the damned and Alice madness returns mentioned a lot as ones to pick up...what's so special about them?
Really want to support this sale eh!
