Nexuiz looks like a blatant rip-off of Halo down to the weapons.

hopefully there will be a few xbla games on sale for this week's deal of the week. majornelson should do another "coming soon to xbox live marketplace" tomorrow as well as he does them every 2 weeks or so. out of the games posted on the list a few pages back here are the ones i would at least consider if they went on sale and some random thoughts about each:
alien breed 3 (have the first two and i just want to complete the trilogy)
tecmo bowl (nostalgia)
zombie apocalypse 2 (played and liked the first one)
sonic cd (nostalgia)
nba jam: ofe (now that they have confirmed they are doing roster updates for sure)
joe danger (hopefully this would fulfill my trials craving until trials 2 comes out)
guardian heroes (heard a lot of good things about this game, never played it though)
backbreaker vengeance (demo was fun)
iron brigade/trenched (demo was fun)
nfl blitz (i know this came out in 2012 but waiting for a sale to purchase)
all zombies must die (read positive reviews, would give it a try)

Major Nelson almost certainly will, and even if he doesn't we'll still know the sales by tomorrow morning thank's to Syplon's site (xbldb.com).

Most of what's on your list I would get at 50% off or better, but there's definitely a lot of new stuff on there you'll be waiting a few months for.

I Am Alive releasing the day after ME3?

Makes me a little nervous that this one isn't being sent to die.

Something has to. Games don't stop releasing just because a big game is coming out.

I probably get I Am Alive but on PSN, probably get it real cheap as a PS Plus member. Most of those games I'm going to skip and see them for half off in the summer in a random sale.

I don't think Ubisoft picked the release date. My understanding is that Microsoft chooses for the publisher what day the game is going to appear on XBLA (If that's wrong, I'm sure someone will correct me, but that's my understanding).

what are the chances NFL Blitz is DotW this week or next? with the super bowl 13 days away I would think its a good candidate.

sonic cd. is worth $5. no sale needed.
guardian heroes. i'm still waiting for this to go on sale

Slim and none.

Or just wait until February JUST incase there's a good XBox Reward promotion so you can at least get some points back. It's better to get at least a bit back.

Or at least wait until tomorrow and see what the sales are going to be for the next two weeks. However, I don't see it happening.

I just want Trials Evolution. Wish we had a date on that one.

Trials 2, Fez, Retro City Rampage. Sounds like a sweet SoA lineup. However,I don't think trials will slip that far, isn't it almost gold?

I Think Trials Evolution has never had a date or anything. The developers themselves have taken a "we'll release it when it's ready" approach so anyone's guess is good.

Yeah, I cannot wait till Retro City Rampage comes out. I've been eagerly awaiting that one. I know its not XBLA but any retro game players NEED to give them a whirl.

I'm dying for some more trials myself, here is a little vid I found of it, but alas no date set yet.

Trials Evo is my most anticipated game of the year (and last, LOL)! The wait is killing me....

Abobo, my favorite video game name. Thanks for that, pretty cool looking game.

Yea, Blitz hasn't even been out for 3 weeks yet so there's no way it's going on sale by the Super Bowl. My guess is it will be at least summer before that happens. On a related note, a good bit of the achievements and unlockables in Blitz are tied to playing online. If you care about that sort of thing, you should probably get it before the community is completely dead.
