If anyone wants a Fable Heroes review, here's mine! Lots of obvious room for improvement, but still a fun game with friends or family.

I can't even tell when your sentence ends (or begins) due to the lack of punctuation and capitalization.

It's not for everybody, but I liked it in the arcade and liked it even better at home with unlimited continues and multiple Achievements to go after. My son has no nostalgia for the original version and yet he liked it too, probably because he enjoys cartoons.

I was thinking about buying Fable Heroes a couple weeks back, glad I waited.

Same here. I'll bite on it for 400.

Didn't see it mentioned, but Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 dropped to 1600 for the GoD version.

With two small kids the answer is a resounding NO!

Aww, I like you okay. But heck, I play more games with my kids than anyone else. Automatic local co-op partners!

I LOLed.

Thanks for the Dragon's Lair info.

Not sure if it's been mentioned but when you boot up Rock Band 3 and go to the music store, they have an entire section for what's on sale. Which hilariously,when I exited the menu, won't let me back into the sales section.

edit: yeah lol. I rebooted the whole game and I still can't access the sale section. So dumb.

Mine are 6 and 2. The 6 year old is a girl so she's more interested in Wii dancing games than something like Gears of War.

Ah, my daughter is 5 so they're not that far apart. Wii dancing games? *cough* Kinect *cough* But seriously, mine enjoys a lot of Kinect stuff. We also run through beat-em-ups of all kinds (including Fable Heroes) and Skylanders together, but not M-rated games or shooters of course. Guess I'm lucky she caught that particular interest from me.

I've tried a few Kinect games with her. She liked Happy Action Theater. She didn't really care for Once Upon a Monster. I have Kinectimals and a Rabbids game in the backlog so we may try those. None of the above though is really fun for me, but I do enjoy playing games with her every now and then, so I'll take what I can get.
She is much more interested in her DS games and some Wii titles like Dancing games (just dance kids or something like that), Nickelodeon Fit, and Wii sports. Again, none of which is my cup of tea. I guess I can grab Fable Heroes and see what she thinks about it.
Hopefully, I can sway the boy to my kind of games before his sister brainwashes him *shudder*.

Couldn't find it mentioned, but as a tie-in to this sale there's a Rock Band Blitz goal that gives 160 msp for completing. Get it by earning 30 stars on any songs from the Blitz soundtrack. "while supplies last"

For those who haven't dabbled in the goals, you need to link your account to their facebook app.

I have a 2 year-old son who is non-stop. Any recommendations for kinect games that could keep him busy for 20 minutes while I make dinner? Lol. Kid loves watching me play hard corps uprising though!

Happy Action Theater. Balloon level is a good distraction for someone that young.

Double Fine Happy Action Theater. Simple, glorious playtime fun for kids without any of the kinect calibration or recognition annoyances. (edit: ninja'd by Ooga and Brother Daz. Make that 3 recommendations for DFHAT).

Edit: Also, I don't remember if someone talked about wanting it released on XBLA in the past but the Killer Instinct trademark was just renewed by Microsoft.

FriskyTanuki made a full list of every Rock Band song on sale for the PSN thread, if you want to throw that in the OP. I would actually PM him and ask permission first, since I'm sure he sunk a bunch of time into that.

Sweet, I'll grab AZMD. Glad I showed restraint when it was 560msp. Still waiting for Scarygirl to pop up in one of these random sales.

I had an enjoyable hour or so playing Fable Heroes with my brother. It's not great, but for 400msp I'd recommend it.

Thanks for the suggestion!!
Edit: Darn, this was on sale a while back wasn't it? *hangs head in shame*
