Hey everyone, I'm new to CAG & basically the world of Xbox 360.....totally loving everything so far, ESPECIALLY the big sale this week, as I've picked up a few things !! I was wondering if I could get some of your opinions on the game "Marble Blast Ultra" that's been mentioned a few times. I have an XBL Compilation disc, which has the trial version to the game, and since it's no longer available for sale on the marketplace, I've done a little "scavenger hunt" online, and come across a seller on a site that's selling the code for a CRAZY absurd price of $25. ( I know, I know ! )
I realize the last time it was available on the marketplace it was only 400MSP ($5).....do you guys think a code that someone is selling, would even work for a game that no longer is available for retail sale ? Kinda curious....and tempted, even though I'm not happy about the price he's trying to sell it for.

Thanks in advance.........and "CheapAssGamers ROCK !"

Hi there =) I can confrim that these codes are still working just traded a Code of Marble Blast Ultra some weeks ago with someone here on CAG no worries at all =) (I'm sure you can get these codes cheaper...I think Gamestop(?) is still selling these codes for 5 bucks =))

Yes the code SHOULD still work. Best Buy and GameStop used to sell download codes for the game, but unfortunately it doesn't look like either are available anymore.

It's a pretty fun game, but no way on Earth would I recommend spending $25 on it. I don't think I'd recommend spending any more than $10.

Thanks a million Antarael & Tylerh !! = )
Now if ONLY I could get my hands on a code that's reasonably priced........ho hum.....I'm definitely not spending $25 !

Finally sprung for Pinball FX 2 and the Marvel board.

Too bad the Stacking dlc isn't on sale as well. I don't think I will spend more on a dlc than the game itself. Hopefully it will go on sale soon.

You are still doing great joey.

Keep in mind, if you do pick up the game at some point you still won't be able to obtain the DLC.

Still waiting for limbo to hit 400 points.

^Probably nobody has it. I'll demo it tonight, if I like it I'll buy it and play a little and report back.

Welcome to CAG, you'll find that most users here are pretty cool (and also do in fact rock quite hard).

Great sale this week, I plan on picking up the Marvel V&V tables for Pinball FX2 and the Alan Wake title.
I'm on the fence when it comes to Stacking, love the price and the developer but not the concept.

If I only have the money to buy one right now, which is better; Alan Wake or Joe Danger? I actually haven't heard much of either of these.

^I liked Alan Wake quite a bit more. Joe Danger was always a bit overhyped, IMO. Also, Joe Danger has been on sale at least 2, if not 3 times. I think it will be on sale more frequently and has a better chance for a price drop than Alan Wake.

I went absoultely crazy with this sale. 4400 MSP went a long way, and I'm happy with everything I purchased

However, the CAG in me is telling me to get both of the Sam & Max games. It's pretty much 2 for the price of 1 if I get both. I'm just not sure... I mean, I liked the Monkey Island games. Are they anything like that? Or better?

It was on sale earlier this year for 200 points. I've been in the habit of picking up on-sale dlc before I even own the game, as I wait for a sale on the main game.

This was one time that I didn't do it, i'm kicking myself. I too hope that the dlc goes on sale in the future once again, since I'm planning on snagging the main game for 300.

I would say get both. But then again, I'm biased since I've loved Sam & Max since "Hit the Road".

Anyway, Telltale games was started by a bunch of ex-Lucasarts employees, and they worked on some of the great old point and click games. It's very much one of those like Monkey Island, here you have episodic stories (that connect and run jokes) that follow the same gameplay. Here's the puzzle, find the item, get to the goal.

All three of the seasons are available for PC download or on-disc buys from their store, which used to run pretty consistent sales. I played through the first season on XBL, and it handles a little funny with a controller but not horribly. The biggest draw to this game is the sense of humor. So here's a test: how much do you laugh at this clip?

So I see that the Forza 4 Season Pass is the next daily discounted pass and it's the 1200 I thought it would be. It says it includes DLC released through April. The Porsche pack was released after and therefore not included, right? Are they ing serious? Not going to buy any more of their DLCs because that is complete horse .

Lol, sorry, I neglected to add UFC 3's Season Pass to the OP. It's amended now, and the sale for tomorrow is also up.

Friday's Daily Season Pass deal is Forza for 1200 ($15) MSP. Not too shabby, have it.

Edit: Sorry to have buried your post Chrono. Does anyone know if the Season Pass includes the Porsche pack released after April?
