Deadlight was very good in my opinion, only problem I had with it was that it was rather short. I bought it for 1200 or so, but if you could get it for half price I'd say that seems pretty good.

Damn I wanted Yar's Revenge :(
At least there's on Steam but I'd like to keep everything on my main gaming platform...
Also, I bought Apples to Apples but not the DLC :(

I think I'm gonna spam Major Nelson and ask for a warning on the games about to be delisted. [Edit: OK I tweeted my request to Major Nelson]
It will be better if you do the same. Let's brainwash them about it!

From what i remember this game was removed few days after release, wtf? I was going to wait for a sale, ah well.

Bought most of the old 400msp Atari games, except Asteroids, which seems most broken of them all. I think it wouldn't take too long until they disappear as well.

Wait a sec, the game is still available for 400 MSP

We are talking about Warlords remake - http://marketplace.xbox.com/en-US/Pr...5-d80258410b27

This thread has definitely died down which is good for our wallets.

I'm tempted by the Sleeping Dogs DLC now that people are saying Square Enix never releases GOTY editions which is what I was holding out for. I'm not too worried with the DLC having been on sale a few times already.

I noticed RB Blitz was removed from the S&M app but see there was a valid explanation for that. I already own that and BBR and had written off Dance Rhythm but the trial was pretty fun so now I'm debating whether to buy it or not.

Hole in the Wall was tempting for 200 MSP but after playing the trial I think it will be more frustrating than fun. I'll have to play the Home Run Stars trial to see if I like it.

The Cave looks sweet but my backlog defeats that notion. I'm in for the Max Payne 3 season pass though whenever it does go on sale. How is the MP? I got the game during Black Friday and haven't touched it yet.

On another note, I hit 100,000 GamerScore yesterday. Pretty crazy! I've had my 360 since May 2006.

I'm debating on whether to buy BBR or not lol
I have the other two Rhythm games and I think that both are great

I'll "buy" it only when it's free.

Hahahaha holy cow Gratz!

Anyone think Dragonborn for Skyrim will be 1/2 off the first week of February to match the deal Sony will have for it?

Congratulations. I am about 1/3 of the way to where you are now. Which i s horrible considering how many games I own. I really need to hunker down and start working on some cheevos.

Bought the Sleeping Dogs DLC, and I'd say Nightmare In North Point is really only worth it for the achievements. It's extremely short (5 missions I think?), and there's not much there in the way of side quests. And even then it's only beat up on a group of vampires or kill a demon. Not to say it's "bad" per say, but it feels Saints Row-ish in terms of value for your money.

That said, the achievements are really easy although getting the five gold medals are a tad grindy.

As for The Dragon Master Pack, I'd say pass. It's a mostly cosmetic DLC. Not to say that the cars don't look cool, but still. Only thing that's good about it is it's an alternative way to max out your triad and cop experience (although the latter you should get in the main game). Otherwise, the "missions" it give you are a bit repetitive.

Congrats man. Always satisfying when you hear that *bloop* sound. Unless your friends are signing on.

Everyone always talks about the ceiling caving in with no reason, but due to erratic controls I can't even get past these bogus helicopter chase areas. I, too, really loved the story and the theme and was happy to pick this up during Black Friday week. After plowing through the first couple hours, I completely gave up and haven't looked back yet; when I can die 20x in a single level, that's when I forfeit.

Congrats on your 100K!

I finally tried Rhythm Party and then headed to the Sales & Specials + app, and gladly lost. Bought it for 400 points. Definitely seems worth it. If you like Elite Beat Agents, and aren't opposed to Kinect, I think you'll like it. Not that it has the humor part, but the gameplay is great. The only weird thing is I seemed to need to redownload the game to get the unlocked version. It wasn't making any progress on the download from within the S&S+ app, and when I quit out the download wasn't running. Had to go to my download history and then redownload the entire game.

Thanks for the messages everyone! The crazy part is my completion percentage is just under 50% meaning I've played a shitload of games. I was in college when I got my 360 and rented a bunch of games through GameFly back in the day. There are many I haven't even gotten to.


@ooga I got your message and cleared a spot on my Friends List. I'm about to get some sleep but will be on around 5pm Pacific tonight or we can schedule a time for tomorrow to do the Madden Arcade cheevos.

I really hope we get a sale on the Dragon Age II DLC and Fallout NV DLC again before their sequels come out. I think one of the DAII packs never went on sale and I'm missing one FNV pack that I forgot during a previous sale.

Bummer! Now I feel less bad about forgetting to review it, heh. Maybe I'll ping the PR person and ask what happened.

Cleaner7, great job! I hit 100K just before New Year's. I usually sit around 53% completion... It would be much higher if I didn't have to play new games every week.

I'm thinking not. I think the discount is the developer's way of apologizing, so it would minimize the apology if Xbox got it too.

Damn, really wish I had bought that when it was on sale... Not that I need another game in my backlog, but it's disappointing nonetheless.

Sure ... we've had sales on "Saints Row The Third" DLC a little while ago ... you won't see "everything" on sale, though, because all assets are currently locked down in preparation for the big auction of "intellectual property" happening this week.

BTW, added links to RDR's price lookups here at CAG, since I just noticed RDR-GOTY is as cheap as $22.74 at Walmart with "free ship to store".

See, this is why you get a link to GiantBomb's "First Look" ... you were warned.

Originally Posted by ooga After spending 3 minutes with Hole in the Wall I regret spending 200 points on it. Horrible.

Again, the gameplay video was provided, for better or for worse ... you were warned.

You can remove games with 0 achievements from counting against you I think.
