Looking forward to picking up a few of these titles during the sale stretch, I'll have to be sure I've got some points to spend.

Even though there are big over-world maps, the game is still pretty linear overall, there's not a ton of exploration to do. There are a few funny bits as well. I'd give the game a solid 8/10 and it's well worth 600 MSP if that ends up being the price. My biggest gripe about the game is that it has 1 achievement that is 100% luck based (basically you just have to hit the Jackpot on a slot machine). I absolutely hate achievements like that.

100% spot on assessment. I give the game 7/10 though. It entertaining, but gets a bit old after a while. I played it for a couple of hours....then forgot about it.

You can find a list of all the achievements here. The achivements for the DLC packs are listed at the bottom. It looks like the fourth pack doesn't have any achievements.

Understandable. I think it would have been a great 4-6 hour game, but there are 10 different overworld maps and the game easily takes 8-10 hours, so it does start to drag a little bit, especially since there aren't a ton of unlocks and no leveling up. (technically there are a lot of weapon unlocks, but a lot of the weapons feel very similar).

I was still pretty entertained throughout the game. The 101 micro-boss battle kept me going, it definitely had me thinking "oh, just one more boss then I'll take a break" plenty of times.

I don't know about you guys but im looking foward more to the prices of those Games on Demand. Im a sucker for any G.O.D. that goes for 800, hell even 1200 if its a great game (Catherine ). Other than that, Sonic Adventure 2, Dust, and maybe Sonic 4 Episode 2 are the arcade games I have my eyes on.

I'm really looking forward to seeing some prices for this sale. I've got about 16k left to blow. I'm planning on getting the BL2 Season Pass, Dust, and The Walking Dead, but that's probably it. I AM a sucker for cheap GoD, though. I'll probably end up buying ME3's Omega and Skyrim's Dragonborn DLCs as well. Perhaps I should just buy Skyrim GoD while its on sale. I love having open-world games on demand.

I concur that this sale list is awesome but until I see prices I can not say if this is a good sale or not. We are talking about a company that list things as sales that are full price. ( halloween/ shocktober sales come to mind) fingers crosssed on prices-

(And a contender for my GoTY to be honest.)

I love Klei games, but I'm not too much into stealth type of games, I prefer them more like Shank

Fez and Deadlight, well, I just wanted a sale for them the very first day they were realeased, because there is no way that I would pay full price for them.

PD: It doesn't have anything in common with this topic but, anyone knows a good site for hard drive problems? I have an USB HD whose bootable sectors went kaput, and Idk how to bypass that to reach the data. I reached the data through MS-DOS with a bootable disk and setting the bios SATA compatibility to IDE. But I can't do a backup that way, because my main OS only works with SATA in ACH1 mode :(.

I'm kind of with you. I actually do think most of this stuff is gonna be on sale, but until I see the prices with my own eyes, I won't get my hopes up way too much.

Also, it looks like the links in the OP are dead, but was there a mention of Walking Dead actually being on sale? Considering they're already only $5 each and sell crazy-good, I was thinking that they'd just give 1 away for free but not actually drop the prices on the other 4.

I see. You definitely made the right call in waiting for Deadlight and Fex. I paid $8 for Deadlight and was still a little disappointed in it. I paid full price for Fez and definitely should have waited for a sale on that one.

I for one am looking forward to setting green things on fire and enjoying this game. I'm stoked for Dust and Hell Yeah!, too. Those are my three definite buys... I love a vibrant, exciting platformer/side-scroller.

I really want the 8-bit Fruit Ninja DLC too, for nostalgia's sake.

Yeah those were great. By far the best part of the game for me.

When do they usually release the prices on these games?

The day of the sale or when Major Nelson posts them.

Looks like from doing a tally of everything with it being 50% off and 33% off or so on the Borderlands 2 season pass, I'm going to be spending at least 6000 MS points. This without counting the two unknown one day deals and the 12/25 DOTW. Once more, thank God for all those point deals from MS Store and Target.

The zombie apocalypse has arrived! Play all five episodes of this acclaimed series, with the first one FREE for one week starting December 25.

I assume the motivation to give away Episode 1 is to hook the customer to impulsively buy the remaining episodes. Even if someone had no interest in The Walking Dead, how can you pass on a free game? Once you get started, how can you not continue?

I'm hoping that list is legit. Lots of good stuff on there. Hopefully one of the GoD is Deathsmiles IIX, since they didn't put it on sale last year and the one time of year it would make sense to put it on sale is Xmas.

Eyeing: Mark of the Ninja, Simpsons, Hell Yeah, Dust, BL2 Season Pass (if price is good, but probably only 25% off)

Unsure if this any different than whats in the OP but damn, I like what I see.

Got lots of msp, thank you Bing Rewards. Thinking Deadlight, Walking Dead, Borderland 2 Season Pass, Fez, Mark of the Ninja and Plantz vs Zombies.

All dependant on how much they are taking off...Oh, and probably Skyrim stuff because I must support their awesomeness.

Dust and Spelunky refuse to come to PC. Vexing.

Well Spelunky doesn't vex. It bores.

From what I've heard and read Mark of the Ninja is a solid stealth 2D platformer. I will pick it up. Dust demo was fine, nothing special for me. If your really into game that have you play as God.

Oh dear god I hate MW3, have you even played it? MW2 was great, MW was the best. BLOPS was refreshing and BLOPS2 is great IMO.

Yes, that was the list, a great one btw. Now let's see the two days whose content need to be known and the GoD sales. I love to buy GoDs at good price (I don't like to bother with disks, already have a ton).
