Don't know if it's still going but X-men was like 200msp. I think it's normally like 800msp.

Shoot yourself if you missed that one.

It's over. I am indeed shooting myself for missing it. I hate the one-day sales. I cannot be on Xbox Live and/or GAF every damn day of my life to know this shit. Would love to have scored it for 200 msp. Not paying 10 bucks for it.

Shard rocks! Thanks for the code!

XBLA has really eaten into my "retail game" playtime. It's too convenient (and I hate messing around with discs).

Same for me.

By the way all my "completed" games (100% achieved) are XBLA games.

Defender's shown up on XBLA again. Look through titles starting with D. I don't have enough points though. Anyone want to see if it's possible to buy? None of the other Midway games have gone back up. This might be some sort of mistake so if you've ever wanted to play Defender on 360, this might be your only chance!

I went head and bought it. Even if I think the game is not worth 400 MS points I could not resist the chance of buying a delisted XBLA game.

I bought it through the xbox.com page, it showed on the search. And only the full game, not the trial.

Yes, I just logged on my 360 and the game download and played.

I just nabbed up Defender. This is great. I was a little bummed about not getting my hands on this before it got removed.

Already down to 3 Torchlight Codes, 4 Islands of Wakfu Codes, and still got all the Full House Poker codes.
I'll take a poker code if I'm not way too late?

EDIT: I indeed was waay to late.

No Vampire Smile OT for tomorrow? Reviews and Codes are in the wild.
Yeah, I'm surprised as well. My short review: One of the most epic, visceral, and enjoyable 2D action games I've played in the last decade.

Browsing my XBLA games today, I was reminded I own TotemBall (I've downloaded it for free on the marketplace, probably because of a price mistake).

I was happy to finally be able to try the game since I now have a Kinect but the game hasn't been updated to work with Kinect. : (

Yea, sorry, I have way too much to do this week to get around to any OT making.

Cool, thanks for the info!

I think they're trying to secure the points I'll have left over after getting Clash of Heroes...

What a great price for such a game, too, and a great way to give to an important cause.

Here's the Trailer incase anyone missed it the first time!

Wonder of wonders, the oldest XBox 360 Arcade game that has never been available to download is now available to download!

Hexic HD can now be downloaded for free. Previously, it was only ever available on XBox 360 hard drives. If you deleted it or owned an Arcade, you were out of luck!

Awesome game.

Welcome to the winning team! Pop buy the official thread and talk about your experiences.. I'm trying my best to keep that thread alive but it's difficult since I bought the game so late as well!

Cheers for the tip, I posted a news story about this on XBLAFans and gave you the credit for the heads up.

I hadn't actually heard of the game till this, looks interesting and for that price and cause I'll definitely pick it up.

I would have gladly paid 1200 points for the relief. Much respect to Cave for doing this!

Does anyone by chance have a code for a 30 day or 48 hour trial gold membership?

I dont have an xbox myself, but i have to make a XNA game for school, it's got online multiplayer, so to test it i need a gold membership (in addittion to the app hub account)

But i don't have a creditcard and don't want to pay for a membership i'm only gonna use today and tomorrow for testing on a xbox at school.

Online FPS Game Section 8: Prejudice Will Hit XBLA On April 20
http://news.mmosite.com/content/201..._prejudice_will_launch_xbla_on_april_20.shtml

I am exactly sure that April will be a big month for FPS game fans. TimeGate Studios announced that its Section 8: Prejudice would hit Xbox Live Arcade on April 20.



Differed from other FPS existing modes, Section8: Prejudice can make gamers a first-person stabber. You can hit the characters as a stabber



You might ask what's new about Seciton8: Prejudice? It will feature online multiplayer modes with up to 32 players, as well as a four-player cooperative mode called Swarm.



The game also makes concessions to offline gamers with a five-hour single-player campaign and full bot support, ensuring all the game modes can be experienced without going online. Besides, you must pay $15 for this awesome game.
 
Whatever happened to that game Warsoup? It was supposed to be some multiplayer RTS-FPS hybrid and it looked pretty cool. No news of it since it's announcement. :(
 
Ronabo said:
Yeah whatever happened to the Pinball Hall of Fame: Gottlieb collection that was announced for XBLA?

That is the game I am thinking of... it was supposed to come out in January.

plus there were supposed to be 2 new tables in Pinball FX2 that had a date of March that never appeared.

I wanna knock some balls around! <---just an awesome sentence.

I couldn't find a general Xbox Live Arcade thread.

I have been having some strange oddities lately with XBLA, mainly with gamerpics. I download them for free, but they don't appear in my list to select from when I go to change my pic.

Also, I've been trying to unlock the two gamerpics in the original Doom where you have to complete a level with 100% kills, and another level on Nightmare, done both, but nope, no gamer pic unlocked.

The same with UMK3, won 10 ranked games online, but no picture unlocked.

Well now, hot on the heels of last week's code give away, we get to play the lightning round as I have 5 codes for The Dishwasher: Vampire Smile in my pocket here ready and waiting to give to lucky members of the populace here. Now, given that I have a fraction of the codes this time around, we are going to change things up a little. The first five people who post in here wanting a code shall get one.
