Picked up Trine 2 without hesitation. I held back on it last time it was on sale so I'm happy to get it for even cheaper this time around.

Going to hold off on Mark of the Ninja. I'm sure it'll be on sale again (Humble Bundle perhaps?) and maybe by then I can actually complete all the other XBLA games I have stored up. You know you have a lot of XBLA games when you have to go to the purchase page just to check to see if you've already purchased it. I almost bought Rayman 3 HD again this morning.

I plan on buying everything besides Rayman Origin and Sonic Adventure 2 are the games worth it?

If you pass on Rayman, you're making a mistake. That game is ing awesome.

I would say it depends on if you liked Rayman 2/Rayman in 3D in general. I didn't get far (a little past the demo's end, I should really go back to it someday), but from what I played, it was decent enough. & there's a chapter select, so you can go back & replay levels.

You can replay levels.

As for my very short opinion, I quiet enjoy it. It looks great, though the camera is really bad.

Anyone have any thoughts on HELL YEAH! Wrath of the Dead Rabbit?

My issue is it's 5.6 GB and I'm running out of room. Since its MSRP is only $20, I think I'll just try to hold out for a sale on the physical disc.

Although with Target points I'd only be paying $5 in real money for the digital version... hmm, decisions, decisions.

Mine has about 20 Gig free with only one game installed. Damn you MS for not releasing a 500 Gig drive. And I do realize that you can rig your own 3rd party HD, but am too lazy to do it.

It's fun in bite size playing sessions. The "finish off the boss" mini games are absolutely hilarious. You'll probably get your money's worth from it.

Pass, it's all style and no substance. The gameplay is surprisingly bland.

Here is my Hell Yeah review. I would not call it bland at all, though it's too linear for a Metroidvania game.

Third-party hard drives only go up to 320 GB, the current maximum size of 1st party drives. I'm rocking a 7200 RPM 320 GB drive and games load faster than on a regular HDD, which is nice.

Thanks. I was surprised how long the load times were in the trial. I'll definitely be on the fence on this one.

I'm just like you. I will be debating Frogger and RAW throughout the sale, when they were first announced I thought I'd buy them for sure. I'd like to hit 2000 MSP for December so I can get the 100 points back, more than likely the Borderlands 2 Season Pass will get me there, unless it's not discounted enough for me to want to pick it up.

You were booted back to the dash? Early in the game there is a fake game crash, but I didn't think it booted you all the way back to the dash. That's odd.

As for glitches on Fez, I definitely ran into serious stuttering when I started transitioning rooms in the later levels, but I don't think the game ever crashed on me. It did, however, delete my save file. But that was after I had 200/200 it so I don't really care.

Gameplay is a tiny bit bland, but it's still a good action platformer and I'd say it's worth 600 MSP.

That was my thought from the demo. Trying too hard to be funny with really annoying, childish, and over the top humor. Might have found it fun when I was 12. Hell Yeah just didnt work for me at all.

I bought mark of the ninja right away. I would have been happy at 800 for it, at 600 you couldn't stop me from grabbing it! Also nabbed rayman origins. Tried the demo at target and really liked it.

Tried the fez and trine 2 demos again. I wasnt super impressed with either demos a while back. Fez got me this time. The music is very haunting and beautiful and the gameplay makea you think while still being a relaxing and fun experience.

Trine 2 still bored me so I will pass.

I want a TB. At least.

I had to uninstall every disc game last night to free up enough space on my 250 for this sale.

Haha, I did the same but by complete accident. I got the trial of Trine 2 and bought it immediately after without even thinking. I also downloaded all the other trials, I might end up getting everything but Sonic.

So this morning I queued up Fez, Mark of the Ninja, Hell Yeah and Trine 2.
These sales are awesome. I can't wait until Friday after work. I going to have a lot to play during my vacation.

mark of the ninja is pretty badass

Seeing Joe Danger 2 on sale reminds me that I still have my code I won from the Raptr giveaway earlier this year. I'll probably end up redeeming it since I couldn't get that much for it now anyway.

Just bought Joe Danger 2, Trine 2 and Fez. If anything else comes up that I can't pass up, then I'll have to use some Gamestop credit to get another 1600 MSP card.

We should start a club. I deleted all of my disc games with the exception of one and I still am dangerously close to filling up my 250. And my disc drive is starting to get real loud when discs are in
