I'm fairly average at strategy games (the last one I played was Warcraft 3) and found it pretty easy to play through. It doesn't have as many units or buildings to manage as Starcraft probably because of the controller. As a Halo fan I enjoyed playing through it and felt it captured the feel of the universe well.

Thank you. Looks like this will be my next purchase.

No BF3 Premium? :/. I!ve been waiting for Premium pass sale for a long time

BTW i have USA xbl account, PAL console and I'm in Europe now.
Can I download GoD games from USA store? Are they region locked like disc games? Do i have to use VPN?

There might be some week long offers as well. There is a panel on the UK dash that lists 14 games.

Only one has dropped so far,

Dirt 2 - 400msp/5$ (was 2400/30$) US price, check your region

They tend to mess up at the start of these offers so it could be just a mistake. *shrug*

I hope it's the real price. I want to hop on El Shaddai, but I don't wanna use real monies. If the real price is $3/240 MSP that is INSANE...even better than last year's sale.

Updated the OP.

Looks like all the week-long deals will be for 85% off which is a weird way of doing it. Would have thought daily deals would be the deep discounts.

Really? Fuuuuck, I was just about to get on board of this game. Is it possible to change the nationality of my account, or to create a new UK account?

It's bizarre how they released the trial version but not the full game.

Got Grid, but no luck with The Darkness - just get this message:

Your purchase cannot be completed at this time. Please try again.

Maybe the servers are getting hammered.

Quick question, Grid is £2.69 or 480MSP. What one is the better deal?

Trying to work out if its worth grabbing a point card for the sale or just pay for the things I want as I go.

Dirt 2 is showing £4.49 for me in the UK but full price when you go to buy, it's a great game and for £2 I would have double dipped, still might.

Halo Wars is well worth your 800 allards people buy it and play it, also plays best online with a friend, I played this a lot with my cousin and had such a good time.

I agree that this game is best played co-op. My friend and I had a blast playing together and neither of us are RTS fans. Just some Halo lovers who wanted to play the entire series before Halo 4 came out.

Just noticed that with Dirt, hopefully it gets sorted. Halo Wars is showing up as full price as well, was wanting to pick that up.

I'll probably snag all the 240 point games... because at that price, even terrible isn't that bad, but I'll have to download the demos first.

I've got some points burning a hole in my account.

Wow - they finally figured out that games on sale need sale prices. Some decent deals there.

Too bad I have everything that looks halfway decent already.

I'm in the US. What time do the deals start today? No sales up yet.

Edit: regional? Wtf? So I can't get the GRAW 2 deal because I'm in the US? Lol, good job, MS.
