There's a demo. Most of these games have one.

Yeah I'd put it on the same level as the Wolverine game. If you're going in expecting a typical movie game then you'll be pleasantly surprised. If you go in thinking it's an AAA title then you'll be mildly disappointed.
For $4 you can't miss.

For the price I have to get Conan.
Major Nelson seems out of the loop on these things, lol

PoP:FS is the PoP game I've had the most fun with, and I've played them all. I don't get the "LOL"s and all the hate. It's a pretty damned good game.
Ah well, always easier to be negative I guess.

They are on sale in Europe as well.

If you're in the US, Gamestop has the 2008 PoP for $4.99.
Actually a lot of these games are about the same price if you go through retail.
Edit: Nevermind, should have read the post above me more carefully.

Wouldn't trust buying a copy of Kameo, PDZ or TT from Gamestop. Discs are probably scratched to hell and back.
If you're lucky enough to find a copy.

Lame, you can't buy these and queue them up from the iPad app.

Nothing wrong PDZ at that price.
Although I am disappointed by the lack of The Outfit in this sale. A very underrated and overlooked game that could have been given a second life through this sale.
Probably holding it back for the next sale, along with Rainbow Six 1, Shadowrun and PGR3. ;p
you can on safari with the ipad.

Absolutely. Tournaments, exhibition modes and lots of outfits to unlock. I play most of the time in SP.

It's decent, but it comes alive in multiiplayer.

True but ps+ IS a rental service..they dont give it away since you cant access it after + runs out.

This sale is nothing to do with a premium service, it's open to everyone.
Yeah, but as long as you have PS plus, you still have access, and with the incentives they've been offering to be a member, I have no gripes with that. I personally feel like Xbox Live Gold feels like black mail more then a service that I actually want. I keep paying for xbox live because I want to be able to keep playing my games online. Take away that feature, and I would never want to pay for it again. It's total black mail. If people don't want to take advantage of PS plus's deals, they don't have to, and they can still play games online.
I like to get a decent percentage of the Achievements in any game I buy, so I don't think I'll be getting GRAW since almost half of its Achievements are multiplayer.

Damn, lol. That's probably because the online Achievements are impossible to get now.

Goddammit, I was all ready to download PoP 2008 today and give it another play but instead I see it is The Forgotten Sands (a decent enough, short game that I don't want to play again). Thanks for getting my hopes up with the ambiguity of your shitty sale, Microsoft.
I think the online Achievements were incredibly onerous even back when people were playing the game.

Again, this is completely irrelevant. This sale is for everyone, it's nothing to do with Gold membership.

It's been a while since I last played it, but I think it's roughly 8-1o hours. Well worth the 400msp asking price.
LOL.

I'm a paying PS+ member and I did not see any of these "free" games you are talking about.

Wasn't there a patch for Alone that fixed some of the problems? I managed to finish it before any patch was spoken about and I thought it was half way decent.
Story ends very abruptly though, almost like there's a chapter missing but the combat, general gameplay, etc is 'decent' and the game is worth 400msp in my opinion.
MS is really bad when it comes to marketplace sales. Too few and far between, the prices are rarely all the great, and the selection can be abysmal. At least they've improved somewhat. There was a time when they never did sales or discounts for anything at all. Heck launch game DLC is still full price on the marketplace.
Until MS gets their structure closer to steam and starts making some decent deals, I don't trust the Xbox brand as digital distributor and certainly not as the only store in town, as is the case for most XBLA titles, and presumably will be the case at some point in the future as all games go DD.
