Halo 3 for sure. I love the series and universe and find Reach to be dull. At least as far as the campaign. I think the competitive multiplayer is a wash.

I'm also thinking about Halo Wars, but I'm not a fan of strategy games.

I loved Halo 3 so much more then reach, the classes in reach were kinda :/ dull and made multiplayer meh 
But halo 3, my brother and I were hooked on that game from day 1. good times.
I guess also that at the time, 2007(whoa already 5/6 years since it came out) I was hyped as hell for the story after the cliffhanger ending in 2, it delivered B^)

I sure would be more enthusiastic about this sale if I knew the next Xbox was backwards compatible. :/
Do you want an off road racer or a street racer? It's really that simple. Both are great at what they do.

I'm really glad I wasn't the only one with DL issues, I thought it was Comcast putting a data cap on me. I guess El Shaddai had a lot of people downloading it.
But as for impressions, I really think it's a unique game and visually I would say it's in the top 5 artistically this generation. Gameplay has a little getting used to, but damn if the art style doesn't rake in some serious points for it. I find myself forgetting that I'm playing sometimes getting lost in the scenes.
EDIT: For those who've played MGS on Playstation consoles and 360, how do the 360 controls fare? I had a huge amount of trouble with PSP Metal Gears and even Twin Snakes, my mind has been wired for the Dualshock with MGS games, is it a hard adjustment?

Best story in the Halo universe. You did good. The graphics in 3 are also horrible.
Enjoy.

Holy shit! I guess I no longer have an excuse for never playing Bioshock. Scratch that - I never have an excuse for not owning Bioshock (I will never actually play it).
I was thinking Halo Wars for $10, but honestly I'd rather have the disc (I have a small HD) and I could probably find that for $10 used somewhere.
I'm thinking I should get GRID and VF5 and throw them on my USB.
If I had a huge HD I'd buy like 6-7 of these. Some great deals in here.

@Wario64 tells me that Assassin's Creed 1/2/Brotherhood/Revolution are up.
800/800/800/1200 respectively.
Confirm or deny?

I didn't see them and I was just looking 30 seconds ago. I'm looking at three pages of these deals - "Ultimate Deals" or something. Is there somewhere else I should be looking?

I've never disagreed with a post so much in my life. Such are opinions, though.
ODST had a great story, too bad that's not on GoD.
Well, a lot of discussion about Halo, i opted for Reach, because being the newer game but the main reason being its from the story part, the begining
From what i been reading from you guys, Halo 3 is the best game but i will have a great time with Reach
---------
Now speaking about assasins creed, also never played any game of the series, Im not into story with this one, so what does gaf reccomends
I, II, or brotherhood??

II is my favorite, though others may disagree.
II is my favourite in the series, followed by Brotherhood. Wouldn't recommend getting the first one as every single feature from it was greatly improved afterwards.
Halo 3 in retrospect was awful in terms of level design.
That second mission had way too much backtracking.
Also yes, Reach is the better graphical game between the two.
Overall, I find the Halo games much more enjoyable when you have a co-op partner.
Anyway, bought Halo Wars. Will play whenever this slow download finishes. Probably after work tomorrow.
Thanks USA Internet. *grumbles*

Canadian prices are outta whack once again. AC II and Revelations match up but AC I and Brotherhood are at 20 instead of 10? The hell, guys.

Halo 3 had great encounter design, and some of the level design was the best in the series.. but I agree that something feels off about it at times, and yeah, Crows Nest had too much back tracking (but awesome Chieftain encounters).. And visually its laughable. Halo Reach is probably a decent entry point, but I honestly think people should just start with Halo CEA.

listen to the mad man
Doesn't bode well for next gen given the persistent signals coming out of MS that they would be discontinuing MSP and using cash-only.

Just bought Tomb Raider Legend. *Shrug*
I really liked Underworld, heres to this one being at least worth five dollars.
This is SUCH a good idea, every company NEEDS to get on this. I wasn't even thinking about buying another videogame for a couple of MONTHS before I saw this thread.
Wish they had Mirrors Edge up.... I really want to own it, but it seems kinda hard to find actually.

I really want to own it, but it seems kinda hard to find actually.If you're going to post links to games can you please remove the country codes? It shows me the US prices on the description page even though I'm signed in with my Australian account. Luckily AC1 and 2 were both $10 anyway but I accidentally paid $40 for Brotherhood. Let's hope it's worth it.

You can find copies used for like $15 through Amazon (not sold by Amazon).
I also feel like I've seen it at GameStop used for under $20. But maybe its not very common at this point?
New, sealed copies are hard to find at decent prices apparently. I am going to keep my eye out for one...

I'm thinking of picking up El Shaddai and either Dirt 2 or GRID. Leaning towards GRID.

I would recommend II, because Florence and Venice are magical. Brotherhood adds a few gameplay elements, but the city isn't as nice.
I is a rough gem, not as varied as the others (although the assassinations offer more possibilities, and the difficulty is higher), but still worth a try for the unconventional historical background.

They aren't on sale anywhere yet. Microsoft are doing daily deals, they might show tomorrow or at some point during the week.
Keep checking this thread.

Ill check for new deals shortly (uk) time for some grid.
"This item isn't available from your current location."
I knew I shouldn' have migrated my account to the US. I have to wait at least 1 more month before I can switch it back to Norway.
Oh well... At least I got to buy the Indie Games that were inaccessible to me in the Norwegian marketplace.

I hope they have a good plan for those of us with MSP. Hopefully convert it to cash. The pessimist in me says they wont do anything with the MSP and just force those of us with some to use it on the 360.

That's one of the ones I'm waiting for, too. :-DDammit, MS! Just discount New Vegas to $5 already
Is this version of Dark Messiah 1. any good, and 2. significantly different from the PC one to be worth getting? I already have that, but if this is a unique, worthwhile game in its own right I may consider it.
EDIT: Aggregate score of 54% god damn. That's going to be a really hard sell now.

I've heard really good things about it but it very well could be a love it or hate it game, I bought it for 3 bucks I can't resist.

Same for Bioshock and Grid..meh
On the Belgian marketplace GRAW 2 is also listed for 160mp.
Dirt 2 on the other hand is 800 points! fuckers!
El Shaddai appears to be free from Italy:

It was in yesterday's offers, but it wasn't available from here.
EDIT: actually I think it's just the demo.

Just went through my first 3 races on grid with out knowing what button the handbrake was.
It is the free trial, yeah.
No El Shaddai GoD at all for Europe, iirc.
Saw that too yesterday, it seems that El Shaddai is not available in GoD in Europe (except UK?). Pretty disappointing, it was the game I was the most interested in.
I saw the Day 2 deals and I'd like to buy one of the AC game but I don't know which one. Could you guys give me some advice to pick one of these?
Edit : Didn't saw the post above. I think I'll go for Brotherhood then.
