A crappy game with Kinect controls added to it only makes it crappier. Someone traded the code with me this afternoon. I did not make it out of the tutorial before I shut it off.

That is an amazing idea but I don't think I have the heart to do that to my cousin. My girlfriend is another story though.

I would say keep it =)
I won a code for Dragon's Lair too, and it's a great interactive video game (you even have the option to just watch the movie haha =D)

And since it's playable with controllers no worries =D

In my opinion, from what I played of the Dragon Lair demo on PSN, it is the most useless "game" of all time. Mind you, I have no nostalgia glasses for it.

Calling it a game even with quotes is still a stretch. It's more like a test for reflexes and memory.

Same here never played it before about 6 months ago and got it free on psn and the sequel. Luckily it had that mode where you could just watch it because I found it boring and frustrating. I wouldn't even buy it if they did a special sale for 200 points like they do with some games.

It's a QTE game, combined with the cruelty of old arcade games. I can't imagine it would be anything less than complete frustration for anyone without nostalgia goggles. That said, I'm personally interested in the game and would buy it in a heartbeat if it went on sale.

Code redeemed

Anyone have opinions on the Orcs Must Die? Does it get better than the first couple levels in the demo?

Worthy? 2 sorta Tower Defense games in a week would be nice to grab on sale.

I enjoyed the XBLA trial of Orcs Must Die! immediately, so if you didn't like it already, maybe it's not for you. But I ended up picking it up on Steam, and I was surprised to find that I enjoyed it even more using keyboard & mouse.

If you're on the fence, get the better version for $2.50 in next month's Steam sale instead. ("41 hours played" is a dead giveaway of my opinion on the game )

Lots of spawn points and traps that really aren't all that powerful, plus a huge variation in enemy types makes it feel like it would play way better in co-op. However, it's single player only and can get very frustrating at times. I had to go down to the wussily easy setting on 2 or 3 levels, just so I could beat them and move on.

Still, I think it's probably worth 600msp. Just not anymore than that. I had a lot more fun with the demo than I did with the actual game.

How are so many people getting codes for Dragon Lair?

To appreciate Dragon's Lair, you had to be young when the game came out in 1983. It was graphics like nobody had ever seen before. It was the first arcade game to cost 2 quarters and the machine had such long lines you couldn't even see the screen or play if you wanted to.

^that would explain it I guess, wasn't even born. Most popular game in arcades (that I can remember) was MvC2. I mostly played games that gave tickets. Had to win worthless plastic junk.

Orcs Must Die or Iron Brigade? Hmm...

Iron Brigade, but only if you play it on co-op (it's much better that way). Otherwise go with Orcs.

I love the animation and art in the DL games, that's pretty much the reason I wanna play them until I can grab dvd copies again.
