Pretty sure I heard the points actually won't show up as pending. When May 15th rolls around, they should just automatically be added to your account.

I thought Fable Heroes was ok but it seemed a bit janky, like they'd rushed it out. I might pick it up if it ever hits 400 points.

Agree, that's definitely a major concern. The single player offering is awful, I wish they would have fleshed it out a little bit more.

Thanks, I think I'll buy it. I've got 850 points on my account burning a hole in my virtual pocket.

I tried Virtual On again, I am just not understanding that game.

You're not alone. On the bright side though, I played the game for less than 10 minutes and managed to unlock half the achievements by accident. So there's an incentive for you.

Have you tried watching this tutorial?

Just remember that you're supposed to Jump -> Jump Cancel to lock on to enemies, rather than actually turn.

Then again, I haven't gotten into the game myself. I'll do it eventually, though, I swear.

I have learned to copy and paste my posts into Word but I sometimes forget. Usually I don’t have it minimized for more than 5 minutes but when I click post after I am done, it is back to square one.

That used to happen to me all the time a few years ago when I was using the site from a different computer and location (not a home pc). I too found that a copy and paste solution was often needed. Now still am logged out sometimes because I've spent too much time looking at one page or typing a message but simply logging back in brings me right back to where I was. When it happened in the past though, it was as you describe and a little frustrating.

Thanks for sharing, I knew there had to be a trick to simpler targeting, as the rotating was getting me nowhere. I'll try out the demo again with my new knowledge.

Interesting? Thanks for that. I had forgotten that the points take so long to post... looks like I'll have to shell out a few bucks for Nin2-Jump after all, and just sit on my 300 until something good shows up.

It's been so long since I played it, but yeah, the game is easier once you get the hang of it. With that said, I wouldn't mind getting a cag night together for this game. Could be fun since the only people online it seems are the japanese and beating them is impossible.

My 2 cents on this weeks purchases:

Nin2jump: not fun. The controls are wonky on purpose and the objective just isn't very interesting. I wasted 200 points on that one.
Haunt: fun game. If you like double fines games, you'll like this. It's a 1st person haunted mansion game that requires kinetic. Worth the 400 pts and has avatar awards.

While I haven't purchased it yet, I'll comment on Fable:Heroes from the demo. I liked it. The controls weren't great and it didn't do much for the fable universe, but I could see having fun playing this with my daughter. I'll pick it up once I finish Haunt.

Kinect!!!!

Glad you liked Fable Heroes. I'm the same way - I look forward to playing it with the GF and daughter since it's something they'd like. Wish it had been a Castle Crashers killer, but almost any beat-em-up is fun in co-op.

Virtual On is awesome -- I spent hours playing this in video arcades. That said, it took me a while to fiddle with the demo's controls to set them the way I remembered the arcade cabinets were set up.

Except that it's really the second controller pre-set. Silly me. Picking this game up later.

Man loved the Virtual On Series. I remember the twin sticks for the Sega Saturn to play this game. fun times.

So why did they port the mobile version of Wrestlefest and not the kickass arcade port of it?

That's your cookies automatically resetting/not saving each time the page has to fully reload. Most business networks are set up to do that; it aids in keeping stupid people not perma-logged on to Yahoo and the likes.

Nin2Jump was not that fun. I am with you.

I hadn't played the Haunt demo yet but from what I had heard, I was interested. However, now that you said avatar awards ... I'm sold. I don't buy games just because they're cheap or the achievments are easy but if you say avatar awards, I generally lose all sense of reason.

I played the Fable Heroes demo with my seven year old. She loved it and I liked it. It does have its issues but it is a go for me.

Yes, kinect ....stupid auto correct.

I'll also agree that Nin-Jump felt like a chore. Is an easy and quick 200 though, so it has it's redeeming qualities.

As mentioned in the last thread, Major Nelson's latest list of forthcoming Marketplace Content/Sales has been posted on his blog ...is anyone else super-curious as to the WOLFENSTEIN Avatar listing??

The controls are wonky? How so? The jumping and movement controls felt pretty precise for me. The kusari took some getting used to, but once you mastered it, it let you zip everywhere and get S ranks left and right like some kind of... ninja. The objective isn't terribly interesting or original, but in the context of its framing (i.e. it's supposed to be a kid's show), I think it works. Not to say it was anything amazing, but I've paid $2.50 for worse things (ugh, Sequence).

I didn't have any gripe with the Nin2 Jump controls. It's a simple platformer, I paid full price for it and was happy I did.
