Thanks for the advice think i will grab astro pop today.

From reading all of the positive things said about Astro Pop I just downloaded the demo and I really enjoyed it so I believe I am going to buy it as well.

It's one of the better PopCap games. I have more fun with this compared to Zuma, Heavy Weapon and Bejeweled.

What's the SPECTAT Bundle for BFBC2? I've got deals 1 & 3 already so I can get 2 & 4 for the price of #2. What's the #4 stuff anyway, it looks like it's just unlocking kits early. Any BFBC2 pros in here?

i cannot confirm 100%. but i have been interested in buying this game and i have read multiple sources that indicate the GoD version includes both athena and butcher bay.

The SPECACT bundle contains different camouflaged uniforms and some new guns skins plus some new achievements tied to specific in game SPECACT awards/pins.

I bought it at the time of its release because of the extra achievements but also so I could change the damn Medic's uniform so he wouldn't be sticking out like a sore thumb with his red beret!

#4 Yep, you just unlock all the guns, perks etc early without needing to grind XP. (Although it's pretty easy to unlock stuff since you unlock everything by level 22).

Thanks! That's most helpful. I had avoided the SPECTAT stuff cause I had gotten free SPECTAT stuff through the DR Pepper free content program, but if it's more camo and has achievements, why not? I like unlocking stuff in games sometimes, but on the other hand when everyone is way ranked over you it begins to feel unfair when you get too disadvantaged, like in Max Payne 3 and to a lesser extent CoD.

Loved the walking dead demo... when i get to play again (alot of good football and Nucky thompson is on today) im gonna go ahead and buy it.

the way I play games, I shouldnt have to wait on the other episodes.

It's the same exact thing as the dr.pepper promotion. If you already have that then don't buy the spectat bundle.

Really? Thanks. Are the achievements obtainable with getting the content thru the Dr Pepper promo or do have to buy the bundle to unlock them? So the question becomes do I want to pay that price for some achievements and to unlock weapons early...

. If you already have the dr.pepper promo redeemed to your account then you already have access to the weapons, skins and achievements. The achievement comes from getting 25 kills with the weapons. I can't remember the exact achievement details. In short, if you already have the 4 dr.pepper unlocks, you'll just be wasting points buying this.

Edit you ninja'd my reply. Yeah they're unlocked already with the dr. Pepper promo

When looking at your classes in game. Under each class there will also be the spectat kit below it. It'll say assault then assault spectat. Or something like that. Like I said its been a while since I've played.

Thanks again, man. That makes sense, I'm just not too familiar with it as I've hardly touched BFBC2's mp. You saved me some hard earned MSP!

I'll still get Bejeweled 3 at 400 points.

Glad I bought Sam & Max last week. Been playing through season 1 and will be going straight into seasons 2 and then 3 when I'm done. Is there a 4th season? It's just so funny, I have to keep pushing through.

Not quite related to XBLA ... but Fry's currently has a killer deal on a Microsoft Refurbished 4gb/Kinect bundle for only $200 here:
http://www.frys.com/product/6992937



If you're going to buy used, then MS-refurb'd is the way to go, since this includes the following:

• Long burn-in test to ensure the system works correctly without heat issues.
• Same warranty as new 360's & Kinects.
• New power brick, controllers, and cables.

I currently have an older 1st-gen unit in my family room, and have been scoping out a 2nd unit to install in the "wife-approval / non-gaming" zone called my living room. The fact it's a quiet 2nd-gen 360, plus includes Kinect for voice-navigation in VOD apps like Netflix, makes this a solid purchase decision!

At a download size of 6.74GB, it's a sure-thing this game includes Butcher Bay, since the graphic fidelity of Dark Athena isn't that great. :-)

cant wait to see what the deals are this week. have points left over after getting double dragon neon and feeding frenzy 2...

I'm indifferent on the deal announcement. I Got 8 games this month (one for free from Raptr) and Pinball FX 2 DLC. I'm kinda satisfied for this month and kinda feel I should save up points, but we'll see...

Just to add to the Astropop love,my sister loved it so much she got 200/200 on it,and I know it had to be a pain in the ass. She also said Bejeweled 3 and Zumas revenge was really good,even with the pain in the ass Iron frog achievement,lol.
Heavy Weapon was one of my first games getting for my 360. It was amazing at the time,not sure if it still is since its been at least 3+ (maybe 4?) years since I've played it.

would have been good if it listed the names of the games on it
