For multiplayer go with bomberman Live Battlefest

I've heard that Major Nelson has personally licked every single hard drive at the data centers that serve up the Games on Demand stuff. Pick your poison.

Why do I have a feeling Table Tennis and Perfect Dark get their high ratings because of their newness at the time? I'd rag on Kameo but as I understand it that is a love/hate game. Table Tennis can't be that good, right?

Perfect Dark Zero I would agree with you. It's been years since I played it and while it was ok, it just seemed meh. The multiplayer wasn't bad though and as grindy as those achievements are, you can play with bots if you wish.

As for Table Tennis, I remember the difficulty being a bit BS (unless I was just bad at it), but it was actually a good game in the "how it was made" sense.

While I still haven't 100%'d it, I'm quite a fan of the Viva Pinata stuff. While it was no mid-numbered Mario Party, it's a fun Party Game most of the time. I liked it.

It's waaaaaaaaaaayyyyy better than Hail To The Chimp.

If you're interested in PoP, there are Like New copies on Amazon for less than $5.

In the world? That's pretty awesome, I'd definitely like to see pics.

I'm in the same boat. I know I don't need any of these games, but I've definitely spent $5 on unnecessary XBLA games that only have 200 GS. 1000 for each of these makes me feel like I should just go for a lot of them, the ones I find decent anyway.

Oh yeah, you definitely have to take older review scores with a grain of salt. If Perfect Dark Zero came out today my guess is it's Metacritic rating would be in the 50s.

I was just going to pick up PoP, but I'm really coming around on Tornado Outbreak. I honestly had no idea what this game was until this sale. I just checked wikipedia and it was released at the end of a month where I moved across the country and didn't have internet access for part of it. I was very busy at the time and must have completely missed all coverage/marketing/etc as a result, which isn't surprising considering it seems like a title that didn't get a lot of it.

That video sells me on it. I'm down!

Yeah Tornado Outbreak is pretty cool. I totally overlooked it as well, and was watching a Game Informer video about 6 months ago when one of the editors randomly mentioned it. Did a little bit of Googling and ended up getting it from Amazon for $7 or $8.

Also, in regards to the GoD sale, I think I'm gonna wait until the morning of the 26th (day after the sale ends) and see what Major Nelson announces as the upcoming DotW's. If it's garbage like usual, I may grab anywhere from 2-6 games from the GoD sale, assuming they're still on sale, which they should be. And if for some reason they're not, no huge loss.

Honestly I might do that aswell. Well I guess the current points I have can go towards the genki dlc for SR3 and Magic 2013.

Table Tennis I thought was actually pretty good. Hard as hell though. Kameo was absolutely awesome. Although I did play both of these 4 or 5 years ago so who knows how I'd feel now.

I think I might get this one now.

Do not go with that game, I regret purchasing it in a sense now. Got it @ best buy with store credit and was a waste of $ since no one plays the multiplayer on xbl anymore.

Perfect Dark Zero is still a great game, although single player isn't nearly as good as the original.

Hopefully the sale next weeks brings people online for a while. Bots are stupid and I hate fighting them.

Brave Warrior's Tale is horrible, honestly one of the worst games I've ever played. I award it no points and may God have mercy on its soul.

The really sad thing is that it's supposedly a kids title. The only kid deserving of Brave Warrior's Tale is maybe Damien. Even then, it'd be too cruel.

and Im sold

Well I got my Capcom digital collection this afternoon. I'm surprised it took under 20 hours to get here.
I feel bad for those of you who decided to wait since the price is back up now. HOWEVER, the price went up because isomergames ran out of copies so shark decided to bump up their price. Isomergames just got two in stock now so the bidding has started again. I would imagine the price will dip back to around $16 again if no one snags those two copies as the bidding war rages on.

For anyone considering Perfect Dark Zero, you will be told by just about everybody that it is bad. However, most of those people almost certainly gave up on it fairly quickly, and that's ok. However, as someone who spent their entire gaming budget on the 360 launch in the fall of 2005, I couldn't afford to buy anymore games for a while, so I ended up giving PDZ quite a bit of my time and found a lot to like. The story, writing, and presentation are lovably atrocious ("I'll never complain about garbage again") and the game can be unreasonably difficult at times, but there is a general weirdness to it all and a completely unexplained complexity to the co-op that was fun to discover. It feels very Japanese, even though it isn't.

Kameo is definitely worth $5, Rockstar's Table Tennis is just ok, and everybody should avoid Viva Pinata Party Animals at all costs.
