Wow, really impressive, MS started to take notes from Valve.

 

[Psychotext]

Bah, I already have everything I want out of that set.

 

[BigMack]

AH is not good

I enjoyed the demo. Been waiting for a price drop so I could pick it up also.

But then again, I also didn't mind playing through TMNT: Turtles in Time RS. I love the original and the new had some control clunkiness to it, but for $5, it wasn't horrible.

 

[shintoki]

Well I think I'm done buying games when they come out :lol

[TheFightingFish]

If by any chance you are about to walk into a store next week and drop $60 on some new big budget game please think it over first.

Trials HD + Shadow Complex + Splosion Man + BC: Rearmed + Braid + Castle Crashers + Geometry Wars 2 + N+ + Marvel vs. Capcom 2
=
$50

And that's if you buy points at market price. Seriously that is so freaking much gaming for the money it's insane Orange Box style.

 

[ChoklitReign]

Sweet, someting to spend 1600 points on! I'll be buying Shadow Complex, Bionic Commando, and Castlevania. Do the first two have co-op?

 

[MikeE21286]

own 90% of those already

good deals nonetheless

 

[Prophet Steve]

Sweet, someting to spend 1600 points on! I'll be buying Shadow Complex, Bionic Commando, and Castlevania. Do the first two have co-op?

The second one does. First one I think not.

 

[Eric Hall]

Trials HD and Marvel vs Capcom 2 are definites

Maybe to Alien Hominid, Bomberman, and Bionic Commando

 

[sixteen-bit]

Sweet, someting to spend 1600 points on! I'll be buying Shadow Complex, Bionic Commando, and Castlevania. Do the first two have co-op?

BCR has co-op (local-only)

 

[Jay Sosa]

Forgot to ask: Is CC also fun in solo mode?

 

[Azure Dream]

or wait for the sequel

You get to jump in the sequel as a reward.

Real answer: the first game wasn't designed for it, so adding it in wouldn't make sense. The second game is designed for it.

Become a wire master first, buy the first game.

 

[JdFoX187]

Glad I bought that 4000 pts card from Dell.

 

[Red]

Trials will be mine.

 

[DMczaf]

Only Banjo Tooie is on sale? So they are betting on people buying Banjo Kazooie at full price to complete the set?

Sons of bitches!

 

[sixteen-bit]

Forgot to ask: Is CC also fun in solo mode?

I didn't even find it fun in multi :x

 

[Hyunkel6]

I only have enough points for either Splosion Man or Geometry War 2. Which one do I get?

 

[Nose Master]

Oh, wow. Shadow Complex is buttcheap. Picking up that, splosion, and reccomending to nerdfriends to get MvC2.

 

[Struct09]

I only have enough points for either Splosion Man or Geometry War 2. Which one do I get?

Tough choice, but GW2. Splosion Man has some amazing local co-op though.

 

[smokeymicpot]

Going to finally buy Marvel vs Capcom 2.

 

[Snuggles]

Bah, I already have everything I want out of that set.

Same here, but maybe I'll pick up Banjo or Portal or N+.

This is the first I've heard of the Overlord ME2 add on, is it just another squad mate + mission?

Oh shit, I forgot about Bomberman. I haven't played any XBLA/PSN Bomberman yet, will get.

 

[Peff]

Same here, but maybe I'll pick up Banjo or Portal or something.

It's a series of missions on foot and Firewalker which will advance the plot, apparently.

 

[Flyguy]

I'm gonna need a bigger harddrive.

 

[ShogunX]

Its a two and a half hour mission on a hub planet featuring the hammerhead tank and some evil AI. No new squad mates.

 

[Skilotonn]

Shit, those are some killer deals right there - and I already have most of those...

People would be crazy to skip out on the top games in here...

And yes, please skip Turtles in Time HD, lucky I tried it before I bought it or else I would have been pissed...

Mass Effect 2 demo is one hell of a surprise though, if you own a 360 and don't own it, you better get that demo - easily GOTY-material right there.

 

[BigMack]

Tough choice, but GW2. Splosion Man has some amazing local co-op though.

Yeah, I agree. Go with Geo Wars 2. I like Splosion Man too, but can't seem to play it except in little short bursts. I can play GW2 for a couple hours straight though.

 

[flyinpiranha]

Trials will be mine.

Ditto, been waiting for a sale.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Going to finally buy Marvel vs Capcom 2.

It'll take you for a ride

Thanks. GW2 it is then.

 

[MomoPufflet]

Very nice-- will buy Shadow Complex (finally) and possibly Turtles.

 

[Snuggles]

It's a series of missions on foot and Firewalker which will advance the plot, apparently.

That sounds good, if it's some legit missions with a mix of vehicle and foot walking I will be please. More ME2 is a good thing.

 

[TheFightingFish]

Thanks. GW2 it is then.

It's always the right choice to nab the game of the generation for $5. And while 'Splosion man does have excellent co-op (I can vouch for that) GeoWars2 also has fantastic local co-op modes for up to 4 players. The mode with 4 players and two ships (one player shooter and the other driver per ship) is mad fun.

 

[bm1616]

Will definitely pick up Splosion Man, which leaves me with another 400 points... so I'll probably pick up Castlevania Symphony of the Night.

Wanted Trials HD but don't want another wad of points laying around, wish we could buy points on a 100pt scale instead of 1600 minimum. ugh.

 

[Triple Da G.O.D!]

One of these days I'll look into a thread and it will say that Super Puzzle Fighter 2 is on sale. But I'm copping Banjo Tooie and GW2. GAF always has nice things to say about it so why not.

 

[Snuggles]

Maybe you already know this, but they changed the points around so that you can buy 5 (400) or 10 (800) instead of 6 or 12 so you won't have left over mspoints.

 

[Struct09]

Banjo Tooie 1200 800 33%
N+ 800 400 50%

I've been waiting for a sale on these

 

[Shafto]

This is the first sale (AFAIK) that any of the Banjo titles have been reduced...mighty tempted...

 

[ZealousD]

Definitely grabbing Trials and Symphony of the Night. Maaaybe Braid.

 

[Dipswitch]

I'll probably grab Banjo-Tooie. Enjoyed the Banjo-Kazooie port.

 

[bm1616]

Seriously? Best news I've heard all day.

 

[Mr. B Natural]

Trails sounds nice. Got my purchase. Geo Wars 2 and Braid are must buys if you haven't yet.

 

[RiskyChris]

Banjo Tooie 1200 800 33%
Will be mine!

OMFG finally! Stop n swop you will be mine! Muahahaha.

Never finished BT on N64, I'm shameful ._.

 

[Snuggles]

Seriously? Best news I've heard all day.

Yep, you can now do 400 for 4.99 or 800 for 9.99(1 cent profit!). The funny thing about it is that I actually needed to add $6 in MS points when I first noticed it but the minimum had been changed to $5.

 

[CrazedArabMan]

Finally time to pick up Shadow Complex then.

 

[Diablohead]

Much better deals list then 6 months ago, nice to see trials drop in price again too. Shadow Complex is easily worth that offer price, no questions asked.

 

[ShogunX]

Isn't that still USA only though? No dice if your in Europe.
