I'll be passing at that price for sure...

Great, good to see the 1200pts turds are appearing. Braid and Castle Crashers were worth 1200pts but if MS think they are going to make this the standard price they're SOL with me.

Howard Stern will be pissed!

1200 points is an awfully high price point for such a mediocre premise. Even 800 points would be asking too much.

Penny arcade is coming out this week too. It might not sell well

[glockant]

oh you haven't heard? 1200 is the new 800..

Really? If so, I will buy considerably less titles. Damn Microsoft and their greedy greediness. :bomb:

[fart_bubble]

I thought this was going to be one of the games on the upcoming gameshow channel?

[jigsawhc]

I agree, I could probably see 800, but not 1200 for this.
Either way I'm not getting it so looks like I'll be saving some points this week.

What worries me is I think thats what MS wants, still no-one has a gun to my head forcing me to buy XBLA games, so whatev.

Even if they did, I would just take the bullet in the brain because I refuse to buy crap games for high prices.

Not to play devil's advocate or anything, but while $15 may be a bit high for this game, it could be far worse for gaming in the "casual" genre. EA just released the new Monopoly game for $40 which DOESN'T even have online multiplayer.

I almost made the mistake of buying it for my wife until I learned that little factoid. In this day and age, that should be objective #1 for any trivia/board game. At least "Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?" will provide entertainment and human opponents.

[Goodeye]

Yeah I think he will be I think I may call in tomorrow and let him know I really hope he sues fox. He has proof he did the show first etc.

Yeah not worth 1200 MS points unless it ties into the delayed Primetime on the NXE

I'm imagining the folks over at microsoft taking bets on how many people actually buy this game at that price point.

This game popped up on Gametap not too long ago and the user reviews were atrocious. (I think around 3/10)
