Dang, was hoping Pac-Man Museum would be among the lines of $15. Have $10 left over from the sales and trying to be careful with my budget. Oh well, least I can grab Ms. Pac-Man while waiting for Pac-Man Museum to go on sale.

Does anyone buy these COD DLC/Weapon skins this far after their release? Aren't these consumers playing Ghost now? I'm salty because I want my Bioshock Infinite DLC sale!!!!!
 
Lionhead twitter is saying that Fable Heroes is free on XBLA (tweet says Games on Demand but its not listed under that).

Still says £7.99 on the store but perhaps it'll be changed soon

The Game with Gold game is going to change in a few days so I'd guess they just got the dates mixed up.

The tenth anniversary of the series is in September so it isn't that.

I think the promotions are just to do with Fable Anniversary release, not sure its a games with gold thing unless you have seen otherwise?

If it was just for FA you'd expect them to have announced it beforehand like the other reductions. One game being free and another being reduced at the same time just smell like GwG. *shrug* we'll see.

LionheadStudios: Ignore that last tweet, Chicken Chasers. It was a mistake. Sorry! To make up for it, we've got something else planned for next week!

Sounds like you were right

There is a rumour going around about the next set of GwG games that doesn't include Heroes. There's no need to get bummed out unnecessarily until they are announced in a day or two.

Rumour,
Batman Arkham Asylum and Ninja Gaiden 2
.

Is Fable Heroes any good? I'm close to jumping on the Fable bandwagon - Anniversary + Fable 2 + Fable 3 + Pub Games + Fable Heroes, in time for the XB1 game.

Would rather have Fable Heroes than Arkham Asylum anyway, since Akrham Asylum being free offers me no personal benefit. It would give the service as a whole a little bit more prestige, I guess, but I've played the game.

Me too, since I already have Arkham Asylum and Ninja Gaiden 2.

Looking at the pricing history of Soul Calibur 2... I would wait for it to even go down to $5. I bought it when it was $10 and was upset at how quickly it went down to $5 during last weeks sale.

Do you have to pay for Pac Man museum to play the free Ms. Pac man? I'm looking in the Pac Man museum and I don't see Ms. Pacman.
Nope, it's free to download even if you don't have the game. If you plan on getting the game in the future via sale like me, might be a good idea to at least get Ms. Pac-Man & that way, you'll have one more game when you buy Museum & won't have to deal with spending $5 for it after March.

Games with gold bits, (Expires in a fortnight. Dungeon Defenders is the next game.)

Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts - free (was 1200¥) Japanese gold account needed

All of the Kinect Sports Gems have been reduced by a dollar.

3 Point Contest - 2$ (160msp) (was 3$)
10 Frame Bowling - 2$ (160msp) (was 3$)
Boxing Fight - 2$ (160msp) (was 3$)
Darts Vs Zombies - 2$ (160msp) (was 3$)
Field Goal Contest - 2$ (160msp) (was 3$)

So under the Deal of the Week section, there's "Save 60%" and it's a bunch of Call of Duty stuff. Next to that it says "Save up to 75%," but none of the games in there are discounted. Was this an expired sale or something? I want Mirror of Fate for half off!!

Yeah, TTK, you have to pretty much just hate FPS mechanics to hate Gunslinger.

I probably posted about it before, I can't exactly remember. I seem to recall the demo putting you behind cover and swarming about 150 enemies at you before letting you move ten feet forward and giving you another 150 enemies to kill and so on and I was bored so fucking quickly.
