We all know that the DotW sale is lame, so nuff said. But anyone wanting to pick up Trine 2, it a nice co-op focused game so make sure your getting it to play with a friend. A nice deal IMO, I picked it up during the New Year's Sale.

You guys would be singing another tune if the Two Worlds II Velvet Edition were being sold for a price that's a lot closer to what it was elsewhere recently. I don't know how they think $30 is a reasonable sale price for all of that.

I bought Zombie Apocalypse at the last minute this morning, and convinced a friend to do the same. I hope the online play doesn't suck.

I also ended up buying N+ late last night after replaying the demo and watching the ninja explode into a dozen pieces after getting a little too close to one of those mines.

The bad news is that my backlog just keeps growing. The good news is that I'm running out of titles that I'm interested in.

FYI, I won the scratch and match for the first time today, and the prize was a stupid avatar hat. I thought you were supposed to win a game?

You are if the prize is a game. Apparently this week's prize is a stupid avatar hat.

Personally, I'll stick to the the backlog I've already got and continue passing on Two Worlds II.

The first Two Worlds has a very rough charm - it's ambitious but suffers from technical problems, terrible voice acting, and a poor translation. Most people would be happier skipping it and going straight to part 2.

I did just that and, personally, couldn't adapt to the clunky controls and mechanics enough to sit through a second sitting of II. This is coming from a WRPG lover, too. There are just too many other good games to have to work hard to like one like this. Just go back to Skyrim or Amalur and be comfortable.

Can anyone confirm that the Two Worlds II Pirate expansion doesn't require the original game disc to play? I've found articles back when the expansion was first announced stating it doesn't require the disc but I just can't find anything recent to confirm it.

Got the Capcom Arcade Cabinet demo finally, but I must wait to get home to try it... anybody already did? How's the "one credit only" gimmick for Black Tiger working? Are you simply not allowed to continue or do you need to actually relaunch the game every time you die?

A bit late in posting this but since it's a price drop now it's not too late to pick it up:

I've been playing the Undergarden this week (240msp), and it's the most relaxing fun I've ever had with an XBLA game. Pinball FX2 used to be my go-to blood pressure release valve, but I've either gotten worse at it or lately I'm just choosing all the bad tables that I haven't gotten the hang of (Ghost Rider, you can kiss my grits)

Undergarden will bring back fun memories to anyone who bought Soul Bubbles on the DS. It feels like a sequel even though everything about it from story to mechanics are mostly opposite. I bought the DLC, too (extra 50g for $1) and although only two levels, the second DLC level was definitely worth the buck to me.

Also: Shank 2 = blood pressure through the roof and almost controller through the TV.

Ps3 owners look to get it better with Capcom Arcade Cabinet.
Black Tiger 1 credit for xbox players but ps3 get unlimited.
There are also a few games xbox cant get singles of, only packs.

Thanks for posting. I really enjoyed Soul Bubbles so I just picked up The Undergarden.

Fixed that for ya'.

QFT. Tension free game. Fairly unique world. Nice mellow music.

Sooo Two Worlds Velvet Edition has the DLC on disc? no codes inside or variants like Borderlands( one edition with codes the other one with dlc disc?) If so, I'm going to buy the Velvet Edition for 14 bucks =D (used but in good condition)

I don't have the game or the dlc myself, but your question piqued my interest. The reviews I've found seem to suggest that you have to launch the dlc from the game's main menu by starting a new game. So technically you'll need the disc just to start the game. It may use some of the assets from the main game too. Like I said though, I don't have it so I'm just guessing.


Edit: I guess I was right:

From: http://www.xxlgaming.com/staffreview.asp?gameID=1183 Pirates of the Flying Fortress is a stand-alone expansion of Two Worlds II to a certain degree. It’s a separate campaign and has its own co-op and multiplayer online (if you purchase the co-op and multiplayer which will cost you an extra $15). But it’s not entirely stand-alone because you’ll need the Two Worlds II game in order to play this.

Trying to decide if I want to pick up Assassin’s Creed III The Infamy. I'm still trying to spend point for Black Friday and the Raptr promotion has peaked my interest for this title. 800 points seems a little high for a DLC add-on but when you figure it up as 800 points for DLC, avatar outfit and a avatar pet its a different story.

Games can be bought individually after 2 weeks of being released in the packs. Let me quote a post I made in the PSN thread with all the details:

Originally Posted by Zonic505 You have 3 options when it comes to Capcom Arcade Cabinet (Capcom has listed all the features, including the list of games & release dates here): 1.) Buy each game individually for $4 when they're released. This'll cost you about about $56, and you have to wait 2 weeks after the pack containing said games were released to get them individually. Ex. You have to wait until March 5th to get Avenger or 1943 separately. 2.) Buy them in packs of 3, $5 for the addition of Avenger & 1943 out today (since Black Tiger is given out for free to get a taste of the hub), with the others being $10. Destructoid has a review up with a listing of when these'll come out. This'll cost you about $45 total. 3.) Wait until May 21st and get all 15 games (owning all 15 games unlocks 2 bonus games 1943 Kai & Vulgus ) in a single pack for $30.

But yes, Black Tiger is "free" if you download the trial, but you only get 1 continue. However, you can replay as many times as you like & as long as you don't lose all your lives, as long as you want.

Thanks for the answer. I was afraid of that after not being able to confirm anything recent about not needing the disc.
