Nice. I'm at 78, but I think a couple on my list aren't really games (Xbox Live Extras, UFC on Xbox Live, etc)

Nice catch, that's the sequel, right? Too bad it's not $0.99, but I'll probably still buy it. I liked the first one enough, despite the weird difficulty scale.

It is the sequel, although they play completely differently. I personally prefer the sequel as making the paths involves more strategery. Just bought it last week, but had such a blast playing it I don't mind the immediate drop. Would've liked FF to be the DoTW, it's even in the DoTW spot on my Marketplace, but even though I know it is worth 7 dollars, it is so hard to pay that much for something on my phone.

Hmm, I suppose Defense Swarm could just be an unrelated price drop. (I am still hoping for FF as DOTW). Does anyone know what Defense Swarm cost before it became 1.99?

^$2.99

Dang it, I bought Swarm for full price a couple weeks ago, after I finished the first geoDefense. Oh, well. It was a lot of fun. Highly recommended.

So is anyone else having trouble turning the sound/music off in Extraction? The sliders almost never recognize my swipes and even when they do I can't get it to zero. Plus, the sliders seem to have no effect on the actual volume. Help?

It is the DOTW.

86 games for me (all LIVE), starting to wish now that I opted for a bigger microSDHC card...

Here's my Little Acorns review.

geoDefense Swarm DOTW

Rocket Riot 3D preview

Hell Yeah and Jet Set Radio reviews

Tentacles now on iOS.

I don't really have a big problem with MS doing things like this, but I really think it kind of shows they don't have a ton of confidence in WP sometimes.

Heads up, Little Acorns is at 99 cents right now.

Where you seeing that? $2.99 still on my phone and the store.

Hmmm must've been a mistake. Just got it though for that price. I guess I got lucky?

Lucky bastard. Also, how come you don't have to pay tax? I do.

Not sure. I live just the next state over, so....
What is funny is they way I found out is I was playing the demo that I downloaded when it first came out and thought, yeah I could pay 3 dollars for this, so I hit buy full game and to my pleasant surprise it was .99. I was going to get two 3 dollar games and instead got Little Acorns and DoDonpachi.

Well congrats. I'm jealous cuz I'd really like to check Little Acorns out.

I don't think it means that at all. If they didn't have confidence in WP, they wouldn't keep putting money into it. I think they just realize that they can't rely solely on their own platform to sell their games. Besides, Microsoft games on iOS don't unlock achievements, right? That still leaves a bit of incentive for a lot of people.

That's just how some states are. Over here in California, we don't pay sales tax for any digital purchases.

No, they won't get achievements over on iOS. And in Utah, I don't pay tax on anything digital EXCEPT WP games for some reason...

I get taxed on WP purchases and anything I buy directly through MS or Sony. Even Amazon now charges tax on MS Points, so I usually have someone else buy points for me who won't have to pay tax. Sucks.

Ouch, tax on MS points through Amazon must suck. If/when that hit's Utah, it will probably slow down my points buying a little bit.

I just got acorns for .99 too. Sweet. Check again Tyler.

Also, it bothers me they put exclusives on ios. Especially with wp8 coming. Perhaps the thought is the title is like advertising wp and w8. If windows is mentioned in the description so people know it is a live title. Just a thought.
