It's more like experience than a actual game, but you cannot go wrong at this price. Anyone have enjoyed Blade Kitten?

Own Ghostbusters from when the tawaiin marketplace gave it away free. Its really glitchy online and pretty boring in single player. I don't think its worth 400 points.
I did pick up undergarden though. Are this price drops or sale. That would be awesome if some more of this games drop to 240.

I don't think I'd recommend Blade Kitten at $5. Maybe $3 or less.

I know the Ghost busters XBLA game is crap, but are there any redeeming qualities for a hardcore Ghost busters fan?

I don't think so. It features a new team, not your favorite characters from the movie. There isn't even much in the way of fan service.

I was initially pretty excited for Star Raiders because I was hoping for the same thing. It is not. It's extremely dull and repetitive. I forced myself to keep playing but it never got better. The transforming ship mechanic wasn't used well and I felt like every mission had me doing pretty much the exact same thing.

And since I'm talking about them I thought Blade Kitten's characters and cut scenes showed promise, which I guess comes from the source comic more than the game design. However the platforming became repetitive. I only played about an hour and had no interest in going back.

In case no one has noticed, those four games are all published by Atari. Based on their track record with $10-$15 downloadable titles, they don't give much in the way of funding or support to development. They also put out everyone's favorite buggy mess Daggerdale. It's not all terrible. Yars' Revenge (not on sale) seemed more okay from what I played. I actually found The Undergarden to be a fun, relaxing experience to jump into once in awhile. It would be my pick of the lot. However, if I see that Atari is publishing an XBLA game I don't expect much from it as a result.

I feel like I'm really down on these games and I hate being that guy who just writes up a post complaining about stuff, but there's so little of redeeming value in some of those games which really bummed me out because while I wasn't hyped for any of them, I did want to like them.

Picked up the Undergarden for..........really no good reason other than it's cheap and I don't want to keep thinking if I should buy it or not!

Thanks for the tips on Star Raiders. Unfortunately, it sounds like an easy avoid.

Snagged The Undergarden for only $3. I played the demo when it first came out, though I don't remember anything about it. However, I didn't come away from it thinking, "this is a crappy game and not worth a second more of my time," so I just bought it even tho I don't remember it lol

Pass on the Star Raiders and Ghosbuster SoS. If they were $3 I'd buy them.....Wait, $3 combined I'd pick em up har har har

Picked up Undergarden because its an easy fun and beautiful way to pass some time when I'm stoned.

Man i tried blade kitten and i couldnt get that into it. I really wanted to, but just couldnt. For those on the fence, it seems like the game has quite alot of unlockables. Seems like you get your money's worth for 400 msp. Damn and i needed a game for 400 to finsh tge triple play. Guess its back to playing zombies on cod.

Now you have me kinda interested in buying the game. lol

The best way to describe Undergarden is as a puzzle sidescroller. There's no combat and no real platforming since you can fly. Local co-op too, decent choice for those of you with gaming impaired significant others.

Pretty dull week. Undergarden is the only somewhat decent game. Star Raiders sounds like a game I could have enjoyed if it was good, but with a 35 Metacrtic score, I'll pass.

All of these sales, the Atari ones, are unannounced. Hopefully there are more unannounced sales tomorrow since the DotW is COD maps.

Picked up Undergarden after watching a game play video. Looks like it could be a nice game to just relax and play. Going to maybe get BladeKitten but I only have 300 points right now.

My guess is that these are price drops. Undergarden is permenantly $3 on PSN as well. Can't speak for the rest of them, I think Blade Kitten may be $5 on PSN already as well.

$3 for UnderGarden yeah
anyone check out the DLC for it that's $2?

I agree with this. I have never seen sales on Monday, other than one day sales. We will fins out tomorrow.

And yes I know that before sales started on Mondays but since the change to Tuesdays. ^

Buy Undergarden, try Blade Kitten, don't waste time or hard drive space downloading Ghostbusters or Star Raiders.

Wasn't Blade Kitten supposed to be part one of a game and the others ones got cancelled? So does it end on a cliffhanger? I haven't even bothered trying it yet.

Perhaps that's Hydrophobia you're thinking of?
