Posted in the XBLA thread, but really it deserves it's own.

Normal Price DOTW Price Savings
Shadow Complex 1200
560
47%

I got to say it again but Shadow Complex 2 amirite.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Both Geo Wars 2 and SotN for $5 a pop = steal

GET THEM IF YOU HAVEN'T

 

[Scythesurge]

YES Trials HD and Splosion Man will be mine!!!!

 

[a Master Ninja]

GAF, buy every game except TMNT Turtles in Time HD.

Also, I'm curious how a demo for Mass Effect 2 will work.

 

[Lakitu]

Mass Effect 2: Overlord during E3 week? Good lord. That week is full of win.

 

[Fantastical]

My wallet is going to hurt. I've been waiting on sales for a number of these titles.

 

[Drakken]

Great deals. Looks like it's time to pick up N+ and SotN.

 

[KittyKittyBangBang]

Good God! so many good deals!

the best things that came out of this is ALL XBL members!

 

[gogojira]

Pro tip: Don't get the TMNT remake, it's really bad and a disgrace to the original.

 

[Grimm Fandango]

Shadow Complex for $7? Sounds pretty good.

 

[Prophet Steve]

Both Geo Wars 2 and SotN for $5 a pop = steal

GET THEM IF YOU HAVEN'T

You are a creepy guy, I was doubting between those two. Also want Monkey Island 2 so don't want both.

 

[GitarooMan]

Time to finally get Banjo Tooie.

 

[seady]

Will probably get:
Braid
Castle Crasher
Geo War 2

 

[Dr. Zoidberg]

I'll finally pick up Trials. I already own almost everything else worth having on that list.

 

[Semblance]

I almost bought Shadow Complex last week. So glad I went for Snoopy instead now, heh.

 

[FrankT]

Will probably get:
Braid
Castle Crasher
Geo War 2

All worth it.

 

[Rad-]

I bought 5000 MS points in January. Thought it would last me at least a year. I need to buy more already. :|

I'll grab N+.

 

[Skiptastic]

Holy shit, lots of XBLA stuff to pick up.

 

[REV 09]

amazing deals, but i already have most of the ones that i would want.

All of the summer titles are good buys except for TMNT.
N+, Braid, Magic, Geo Wars 2, and Castle Crashers are excellent from the bottom list.

 

[dejan]

How's Panzer General?

 

[MrNyarlathotep]

Good God! so many good deals!

the best things that came out of this is ALL XBL members!

You must be an Xbox LIVE Gold member to access this special DOTW pricing which will start Monday, June 14, 2010. Remember: You can upgrade your membership to Gold a variety of way.

[A Human Becoming]

At that price I'll download the Trials HD demo at least.

 

[BuzzJive]

Dang. I'm actually building up a backlog of XBLA games now. Braid and Castle Crashers are likely candidates at this point.

 

[Team Klimt]

Damn, I hope SOTN goes on sale on the PSN too... I want it on my PSP.

 

[Metalic Sand]

Fuck i need points.

 

[Son of Godzilla]

Vandal Hearts + Bionic Commando are so bought.

I'd buy Tooie too, but I fucking hated that game.

 

[airborn]

[Tiduz]

i can finally get geo2

 

[Gowans]

I have most of them but it looks like MS finally have their deal shit together.

Only thing I'm tempted on is Panzar Generals, thats the C&C game right? rlan loved it if I remember right.

 

[sixteen-bit]

i can finally get geo2

YES YOU CAN

 

[MightyHedgehog]

Damn these big mega sales. I wish they'd spread them out a lot better instead of putting so much tempting stuff into one small sales period.

 

[CitizenCope]

Was going to pick up Vandal Hearts once I cleared out my backlog(and I jut did) anyways. Saving 5 beans is a good deal.

 

[Tonza]

Bionic Commando Rearmed 800 400 50%
Castlevania Symphony of the Night 800 400 50%
Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved 2 800 400 50%
N+ 800 400 50%



Haven't got any of those. Also got an 800 points card free with a game so I can get atleast 2 of those.

 

[TheSeks]

Wow, may have to pick up Shadow Complex (and support the developers that support Orson Scott Card. Ugh. [/in before derail]), and maybe Trials HD.

I think the biggest news is that there is a Mass Effect 2 demo. WHY THE FUCK WASN'T THERE ONE FOR THE FIRST DAMN OUTING?

 

[sixteen-bit]

You are a creepy guy, I was doubting between those two. Also want Monkey Island 2 so don't want both.

I had more fun with Geo Wars 2.
It's a riot with local friends, and still pretty fun by yourself.

 

[clav]

Those prices need to stay that way forever.

Steam has totally owned XBLA in discounted games.

[sixteen-bit]

I will grab Alien Hominid HD

AH is not good

 

[AndyMoogle]

Braid was lowered to 800 points a while back, so they would have to change that deal...

 

[JimboJones]

Nice, will be getting Symphony of the Night

 

[Jay Sosa]

Daaaaaamn time to get some MS Points, let's do the math..

Shadow Complex 560
Trials HD 560

Braid 800
Vandal Hearts 800
Castle Crashers 800
---------------------

Time to finally get Banjo Tooie.

Don't do it. Loved the first but stopped playing the second one today, the levels are way too big, there are like 500 different moves to remember, and being able to split up the two makes things even more confusing.

 

[Randy Lanzarote]

ah..... I need points! Tooie and portal take my fancy, possibly the me2 dlc (providing its hella better than the stuff released so far) and i'm still waiting for the ssf4 avatar stuff.

Nice to see that ms finally get the meaning of the word 'deal'.

 

[Dave Long]

Will definitely give Panzer General a try. Was hoping Greed Corp might get a reduction.

 

[stawnkald]

Hells yeah, ME2 Overlord. I was absolutely sure they wouldn't release it during E3 week.

 

[The Dutch Slayer]

Don't do it. Loved the first but stopped playing the second one today, the levels are way too big, there are like 500 different moves to remember, and being able to split up the two makes things even more confusing.

HO HO HO, plz DO NOT LISTEN TO THIS MAN .
Its one of the BEST 3D platformers ever made! and for this deal its a steal!

 

[Azure Dream]

Bionic Commando Rearmed 800 400 50%

Do I have to say it? BUY IT, GAF. Even if you own the PSN or PC versions, and especially if you own only the latter, buy it anyway.

Probably the best clear improvement by a retro remake ever seen. Not a step down, a gigantic step up. They nailed so much about this, and they just included tons of new, meaningful content along the way. Then they threw in a (local) co-op mode near the end of development because they could and thought people would enjoy it. Then they seriously debated about pricing the game at $10 or $15, when premium XBLA games were settling into the $15 price, and instead of citing the "You're worth it" replies, they went for a $10 price anyway.

And now it's $5. Reward their awesome GAF.

And don't bitch about not being able to jump. It's a wire game.

 

[sixteen-bit]

And don't bitch about not being able to jump.

or wait for the sequel

 

[Prophet Steve]

I had more fun with Geo Wars 2.
It's a riot with local friends, and still pretty fun by yourself.

Well, already have Geometry Wars 1, loved it though.
