They need to change the name of this sale to Deal of the Month.
Great stuff!

I've grabbed Sonic CD, Blazing Angels and Conan, still considering some others but trying to hold off, I know I won't play anything else I end up buying... maybe Dark Void though.

Originally Posted by louiedog I cannot recommend the game either. Even if you like the gameplay, there are several issues with the game that make it frustrating. When I played the week of release, when the most players were likely to be around, matchmaking took a really long time. Finding and getting into a match took at least as long as the match itself. That's no fun. The game also didn't seem to add players midmatch. So when you're playing 3 on 3 and one guy quits because he doesn't like the map selection, and then another guy leaves because he doesn't want to play outmatched, you're left with three guys running around the map hunting one guy on the other team.

Originally Posted by cthomer5000 I co-sign all those issues. You are right that no one can be replaced mid-match. Also it didn't even support 4 v 4 at lanch. 3 v 3 was the max. No idea if they patched that, but i imagine the community is only smaller now regardless. Not a good game.

Before I could even find the game correctly spelled on meta critic it seems the CAG's have spoken. Thanks everyone. Not that big a solely multiplayer based gamer, but having all these opinions definitely means for me to stay the hell back.

I'm finding Prince of Persia to be pretty fun

I would've grabbed it if it was the other PoP, as I never finished that one. I owned and beat this newer one that's included in the sale. I agree though, it's an enjoyable game and definitely worth the $5. I'd say it's probably the best game on the list and the only must buy outta all of them.

Trying to decide whether to pull the trigger on Tornado Outbreak. I was pretty interested after seeing that Forgotten Video Games video a few pages back, but with no demo to try & no raves on this game in this forum, I may pass.

Anybody have a strong opinion on Tornado Outbreak, good or bad?

In for Trine 2 for sure. Will have to demo Shoot Many Robots

In for Worms 2,Worms is one of my favorite series and i always miss it when its on sale.Might also get Gotham City Imposter is the community still active?

I've been playing Tornado Outbreak the past couple days on and off and it's a decent little title. If you enjoy any of the Katamari games, you'll probably like this as well. While they are different, they're quite similar in the sense that you suck things up and get better. I wouldn't pay $20 for it, but for $5, it is a good pick up and play title for an hour here or there. The later levels do get a little frustrating because it feels like you don't quite have enough time to meet the requirements to pass, but it's a small complaint. Plus, if you like achievements, most of them can be gotten with little effort. I'm 3 away myself from 1k, although 2 of them could be a bit of a pain (not impossible, just need a little perseverance).

As for myself, I'm debating on Blazing Angels. I would debate on Facebreaker as it appears to be a poor man's Ready 2 Rumble Boxing, but the online achievements being impossible to get now makes me want to not get it.

Oh, go back to you basement dwelling, mouth-breather.

I paid full price for Gotham City Imposters at release and have no regrets whatsoever. It's an extremely fun game if you like team shooters. The only issue I have is that it's limited to 6 players on a team. It'd be great if they expanded that out to 8 so all of my friends could play instead of turning away anyone after the 6th player.

If anyone is on the fence about Gotham City Imposters I strongly recommend it. I was in the beta and enjoyed it so much that I picked it up on release date. I didn't get back into it about a month ago, though, and it is hella fun. Community is still very active and I never have any issues getting into a match. Out of all the matches I played I never have to deal with campers or any of the other bullcrap that I usually run into in other online shooters.

I hope that list is true because a sale on the game would most likely bring some more people to the game that I can shoot in the face a little easier than the high level guys

I would also pick up X-Men Arcade and maybe Shoot Many Robots.

Pretty good game. It's worth it for $5. Kinda plays like a Katamari Damacy game. It's unique and you won't find much like it out there. I'd grab it before its too late.

You both convinced me to snag Tornado Outbreak as I was in the same boat. The easy achievements make it a no-brainer too. Thanks for helping me spend an extra 400 msp.

I ended up getting Bolt, Tornado Outbreak and Sonic Cd this week. Good week

I can't buy games from the PC any more because Xbox.com says it doesn't recognize my computer (which I got 2 months ago). The verification emails it sends will ONLY go to the defunct, non-operational email address my Live account was created with. They don't send them to my actual working email that is also attached to the account for billing, etc. Anyone else having this problem?

The same happened to me yesterday. Luckily I have control of the email address though. It sends them to an email I setup for password recovery, not my main address which is what I'd prefer.

If you can get into https://account.live.com/Proofs/Manage you can change your email addresses there.

I have this problem as well, but I get codes sent through to my phone. It is annoying though, and it seems it's somewhat of a common problem recently when I tried googling it not too long ago.

Sigh. I did update my email through that link, but the confirmation email still only goes to the dead addy. It doesn't give the option of sending it to my phone either, even though my phone number has long been on the account.

Trine 2 and Shoot Many Robots for me this week. 1000 points seems fair for both.
