[Kill Your Masters]

If themes extended to the clothes of the avatars, I'd be tempted.

Expect them to sell the clothes separately.

 

[beelzebozo]

i would be interested in themes for:

- fallout 3
- the orange box
- bioshock
- mirror's edge

especially fallout 3 though. the game just has a really distinct style that could be really put to creative use in a theme.

The only game I'd like to have a theme for is REZ...maybe Psychonauts. Generally I prefer themes based on a style or motif. Right now there is nothing that appeals to me....surely in time though there will.

 

[CajoleJuice]

So which themes are free? Because those are the only ones I care about. My free background is already totally awesome anyway.

There is one Gears 2 premium theme that is free. All other cost spacebucks. But I bet there will be free premium themes like there were normal themes before...Mountain Dew Premium theme is coming soon for sure.

Thanks, I thought I saw that in the thread earlier. I doubt I'm going to use it.

 

[DustoMan]

Here's the Gears one I redeemed off the card that came with the game.

Wait what card? In my LE, I got a card with the golden lancer, the map pack, and I think a trial code.

 

[Ghost]

Think I want a GeoWars2 theme complete with particle explosions.

Wondering the same thing. I thought there was supposed to be one, but I looked last night and saw nothing

Awesome! thanks!

It was exclusive for GameStop preorders.

Was free. It's not anymore.

 

[PjotrStroganov]

Asked it in another thread but I'll try here. Can I switch between the background pics of the old themes?

 

[Dr. Kitty Muffins]

Tales of Vesperia needs a good NXE theme.

 

[TheGreatDave]

Guitar Hero theme is pretty much shit. At least it doesn't have a huge logo.

 

[Toshin]

YES 2nd'd!

 

[kiryogi]

Need new Im@s premium themes D: Sucks the previous themes really are worthless.

I dunno, looks pretty good to me. The avatar backdrops look a lot less lazy than RB2's boring, perfectly square walls of amps.

The avatar bits are cool, but the background is quite dull.

 

[AndyMoogle]

1) Quieter
2) Less wear on DVD drive
3) Faster load times

4) Less heat

fuck yes! Rez theme would be nice. but i doubt it

 

[watership]

Wait, we can make our own themes now?

It amazes me that 3 years later, people still didn't know you could do this from Launch day.

 

[AndresON777]

Good call, 2nded

 

[Mr.Potato Head]

Paying to put a game ad on your dashboard is moronic.

Stop trolling :lol

Some of these are fucking amazing

You seem to be overlooking the badass part.

Ninja Blade one:

 

[Grecco]

That Ninja Blade theme is ace.

Hey, I worked as an Xbox call center rep for a few months (and was the highest-scoring rep on the floor) and I didn't know about it until reading this thread.

 

[Nathan Rain]

The only game I'd like to have a theme for is REZ...

Oh hell yes.

 

[Flyguy]

The Ninja Blade one looks pretty sweet. Is the only one we're missing now Shaun White? Who's going to bite the bullet on it? Gotta Catch 'Em All! gogogogo.

Edit: After further review, we're also missing the Skate 2 and Need for Speed themes.

I don't think Skate 2 is premium, unless there's a new one. Is it 250 on Marketplace, right now?

It's sad that the Shawn White one could potentially be quite nice. Mountains and ski lodges and shit. For such a lousy game.

According to cjelly's list Skate 2 had a premium theme available. His list has been accurate so far.

 

[John Harker]

Woa those are cool!

Just seeing this thread now,
are any (and which) of those free??

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

No, I had to take it down. There were a few wrong ones on there, at least as of now.

None of the game specific premium themes are currently free.

This is on Marketplace now for 150 points and is thus not Primo.

[a Master Ninja]

Does it not actually say Ninja Blade anywhere on the theme? If so I might buy it. :lol

 

[PhatSaqs]

Ninja Blade is awesome. Makes me want a NG NXE theme

 

[Flyguy]

Yeah, I was just coming in here to post this. You were right BB. Tell your sister, you were right.

marketplace.xbox.com is a little wonky right now, but I can't seem to find anything on the Need for Speed theme either. Maybe we are just missing one premium theme at this point.

 

[Sgt. Killjoy]

Ninja Blade is the only i will definitely buy. i never even heard of the game before.

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

I'm sure it'll all come out right in the end.

Oddly enough, as much as I gobbled up old themes, I'm going to be a lot more selective this time, not because of the price, but because they're a pretty big, I don't know, visual commitment?

 

[burnfout]

Are you gonna update the OP Benjamin?

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

I only put TinyPic stuff in there. I'm not putting any other stuff anywhere near a post of mine. I think this thread is perfectly browsable. Just look for the big giant pictures.

;D

In other news, the Castle Crashers theme looks so delightful in person.

Gah. I'm not sure if I should be enraged that companies are charging for avatar crap, or pleased that someone is including avatar crap with their theme.

Edit: Didn't someone post their Ninja Blade theme earlier? Can I seez ur avatar partz?
