I see, and that's interesting. I hope I don't need to change my email any time soon.

I've never seen an option to use MS points and I don't see one now. All I see are Phone Bill or Credit Card like always. I think you can only use MS points to buy stuff for your avatar...but I would love to be proven wrong.

That's definitely incorrect.

Also, just in case anyone didn't read the Windows Phone 8 news, you can't upgrade from old handsets. Do not buy a Windows Phone 7 handset if you don't have one already; just wait for Windows Phone 8 this fall.

Next week's release is Super Monkey Ball 2. (Thanks EastX) It'll be $2.99, to pricey for me but at least it's not releasing at $4.99 like the first one.

Also, the first one is currently down to $.99 so I think waiting on this one may be the way to go.

The 99 cent price on SMB 1 is due to the iOS version costing that much and the availability of part 2. I'm sure part 2 will eventually be a DOTW though.

Use the link on the WPCentral site (http://www.wpcentral.com/xbox-live-f...ievement-guide) and download that program, then when you hit back and it asks if you are sure you want to back out leave the screen up since that pauses the timer and you'll see half of the board so you can input that part, then if you flip your phone to rotate the screen you'll briefly see the other half and if you keep doing that it will make it easier to write in all of the numbers before resuming, then what I did was made about 4 moves at a time and then kept hitting back to pause it on the yes/no screen.

Thanks for improving on my method! I updated my Final Fantasy Achievement Guide with your suggestion.

BTW, Super Monkey Ball 2's multiplayer will be pass-and-play only, for better or worse.

What happened to keeping the thread bumped, fellas? I'm triple posting now, yuck!

Anyway, here's my IronSun Studios developer interview. I think it turned out quite nicely. We mention their next game in it, so it's news too!

I will read the article . Thanks. I am excited to see the surface release. I am going to assume applications will move even faster once win 8 is releases since it sounds like developers will easily translate the apps to the phones. speaking of a surface, I want one...if they are in my price range.

Between WP7, Xbox 360 and GFWL, I am making so many purchases now and having a backlog but trying to give everything a chance. Thanks for maintaing a nice and reliable site, paul. Hope that SMB is worth the $. Still looking into some of those $1 games

I'm glad I'm not the only one who hates when I have to double or triple post in a thread.

Great interview, I really enjoy them!

Glad it helped! I'll definitely give Super Monkey Ball 2 a try and I also checked out the interview you just posted, some good stuff. Since I just got my phone recently I'm hoping well still get some good games for a while after Windows Phone 8 releases.

By the way, if you change your email address to your gamertag your Tenure (years of xbox live subscribed on the top right hand corner) might reset. I've been a member since the launch and changed my email address and now states 7 years instead of hm..11? lol Is Tetris worth the purchase or should I wait a bit longer for a further price drop instead of this sale?

Monopoly went back up to $4.99 Guess my hopes of getting it for $1.99 just went out the window for the time being.

It's honestly not bad, but I feel like $3 is still a bit steep considering the $1 puzzle games you can get lately.

Also, updated the OP and games list. Sorry for falling behind - Wednesday was weird with the late updates and my work/sleep schedule.

Haha. I too had my hopes for that 1.99 or .99 price point/sale. Especially since it had been on sale a few times, why not a few more?! I wonder why it was 2.99 for the past couple weeks? Weird.

Fling is ok, for a dollar. I will pass on Monkey Ball so here is hoping a nice sale this week.

I am excited to find out more about the surface. I suppose my phone games could be played on the surface? That would be very very cool. I also noticed cut the roap tile on win8 so I would assume that will make it to the phone as well, wp8. Fun game.

Chickens Can't Fly update just showed up on my phone, woohoo!!! Time to get some slippers and a hat for my avatar!

Also, apparently it's now $0.99.

I sent a challenge to the 3 guys on my friends list that own this game (MoCiWe, EastX, Fryburg). If any of you could create a challenge and send it to me so I could get the Chicken Slippers that'd be awesome.

I'll do the challenge in a bit here, I'd like the slippers myself! The update is downloading now, seems like i]t adds some good stuff.

EDIT:
I beat yours and made a new (really easy lol) one, I don't think I got the slippers though so i'm not sure how the challenge leaderboard works yet

So you didn't get the slippers when you beat the challenge I sent? After you beat it, it sent back to me and I beat your score, and I didnt get the slippers either. I guessI am misunderstanding how to get them.

Also, I didnt get your other challenge, if you sent it.

Odd, I got the one that you first sent again now that you beat it, but it said I sent you a different one as well, not sure why it didn't go through. Under the slippers it says the best in a leaderboard, so maybe each level has a leaderboard that we have to beat multiple people at?

^Weird. I am still only seeing the one challenge that I originally created. Hmm...
