Is Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga worth the $20 sale price? I don't care for a disc copy, as I'd be more likely to play something immediately accessible on the hard drive. However, I've never even played any of the Lego games and my primary interest is finding something my wife would play with me. I guess the questions I'm asking are: 1) How is it compared to the numerous other Lego games?; 2) Is it a good value relative to the other (cheaper) Lego games currently on sale?; 3) Has it ever been on sale for a significantly better price?; and 4) Is it a good game for non-game players?

Also, would someone explain the appeal of Bully to me? I hear it is good. I like some sandbox games. It is tempting to buy at the sale price. I just don't quite grok the game's concept, or where the fun is derived from. Maybe it's because I didn't go to highschool...

On XBLA, Serious Sam 3 is easily the best. It's got better graphics, a more interesting story, and split-screen (which the others lack). I highly recommend it to fans of old-school FPS games.

IMO TFE and TSE are miles ahead of SS3 (in terms of being a fun game, obviously not graphics and stuff like that). All 3 are good games but the old ones are so much better. SS3 just doesn't have the same classic shooter feel that the other two have.

is bully worth 800 msp? I know its a great game and all, but does it look outdated?

Awesome game. My 2nd favorite Rockstar game (1st being Vice City). It does look dated, but easily worth $10.

You guys aren't helping. Not getting all 3, too many other sales coming up to do that. Might just have to flip a few coins.

1) All Lego games are very similar.
2) It's basically the same value as a lot of other games on sale. There are 6 "worlds" which make up the 6 Star Wars movies. Compare that to Indiana Jones which is half the price, where there are 3 "worlds" for the 3 original movies.
3) Disc version is better price, but since you don't seem interested in that then this is probably the best price it has been on GoD.
4) It's good for non-gamers. It has a few platforming and extremely basic combat elements, but there's no way to really die (you just infinitely respawn) so non-gamers will probably enjoy running, jumping, and mashing buttons without frustration.

Bully is like GTA in high school. There are just missions to play, but they focus around school related themes. It's really cool and clever and easily worth 800 MSP.

I'll help. Don't buy any of them. I played TFE and found it's really not for me. All it is is shooting hoards and hoards of enemies, constantly running and circle strafing, and once in a while finding a secret or 2, like in doom. I found it super boring and repetitive and I don't think I even made it half way through the game.

If you haven't played Bully yet, BUY IT. I own a disc copy, I had no idea it was worth anything, but I'd never dream of getting rid of it anyway. It was my favorite sandbox game up until Saints Row 3, and it may still be my favorite. It has all sorts of charm that just can't be matched. Getting 1000/1000 on that game was an absolute blast.

Haha sorry different people are gonna have different opinions. Try out the demos see which you like more.

And this makes the most sense. For some reason had a brain fart and didn't even think of trying the demos. Must still be thinking of PSN's lack of demos on most games unlike XBLA.

I haven't even played SS3: BFE yet but I loved TFE and TSE (on PC at least - bought 'em on XBLA but I've never touched them!). Give 'em a shot, see if you like them. If you enjoy mindless first-person killing sprees, I'd say just buy them all. Not the answer you're looking for, but that's just too bad!

Guitar Hero sales are over. Too bad about that, I would've liked the Motorhead pack for GH3 - though I would've liked it a lot more for a full-band GH game. It still blows my mind that even on sale, the GH3 packs cost more than the packs for follow-up games.

Seeing RAW and Joe Danger 2 at 67% off is both a blessing and a curse! I was gonna skip both and wait for the next 50% markdown, but now I'm not sure. I do only have about 3200 points to spend though, strongly enforced by a Dubious Achievement Unlocked when I caught a felony charge the other night like a total dumbass (behave, boys and girls!) - so I'll probably stick with my plan to bag all the platformers.

It's fun if you're heavily into the Star Wars world, but they have made significant improvements to the LEGO franchise over time. As crazy as it sounds, major graphics improvements, MUCH better co-op, and a better, albeit still wonky, camera.

$10 for the other LEGO games is madness. If I didn't have a 6 year old who devours those games, I wish I would've waited to get digital, and for $10ea. I probably paid on average about $15 for the discs.

Why did you buy Lego Pirates already?! It goes on sale tomorrow......

Because tomorrow's sale has been going on since late last night.

It's on sale already.

It's worth at that price. If you don't care about achievements too much, just skip the dlc - no one plays competitive mp and the new levels are nothing special.

I bought it last month full price and can't believe how I've never played this game before. I think its a gem. Here's a tip, save before every class or mission starts.

I STRONGLY recommend Super Meat Boy at 600 MS Points. You will NOT regret it.

Everyone and their mom are selling 1600 point Target codes in the XBL code trading thread. So you may want to check there.

It's already on sale.
