Guys, one more scenario tested (lol am I insane or what?)

2x 9.95 games at the same time in the Shopping Cart.
The result was....

FAIL

So I guess we excluded all possible cases... rofl

today is full of regrets, first I get stuck away from a computer and miss out on Joe Danger. then I find out I missed out on Bejeweled. sadness

you didnt miss on bejeweled if your referring to the raptr rewards deal... i dont play on the computer and its a worthless discount code... i.e. its not like someone will buy it.

I got 400 points floating on my account right now... and im itching for something different.

Can anyone recommend the Walking Dead games? I havnt played any of tell tales games before, how much of an impact do your choices make?

I'm deeply disappointed to say none so far, but it is a decent game if you can stand to wait 2/3 months for it to finally be fully released.

I really wish NFL Blitz would go on sale. Or even just a price drop.

If you love the Walking Dead, it's no contest. It is based in the world of the comic however and not the show. That being said, I am a bit bias being both a fan of the comic, show, and post-zombie-apocalypse in general.

To the CAG that said your choices are meaningless, I'm not sure what you're doing wrong. Granted, there's a much more noticeable difference from episode to episode, say if you choose to save one person and not the other in a QTE event then what the missing person would have done is much more noticeable than if you decide to berate one of your group's members over agreeing with them, granted. There are various levels of events that change from the way people will talk to you to, as I said actions that are/aren't available later on.

He was complaining about the fact that pretty much everyone's game is the same after Episode 3. It didn't matter who you saved, everyone has the same party now. It's a somewhat valid point, but I would argue that it's all about the story and that changes depending on your choices. The endgame doesn't matter so much.

Choices have very little impact. Just a player different here and there in a cutscene or a couple different lines of dialogue and now even that doesn't matter I believe. I'm a huge Walking Dead fan but I have been sorely disappointed in these games personally.

True. I hope EA updates the roster. They were pretty slow when updating it on Madden Arcade.

i hope blitz goes on sale just so the community can get more people. they should lower the prices on multiplayer games after a while, games like blitz area great when they come out but 98% of the time i look for a match now there's no one on cos the game's too expensive.

the roster won't get updated though. it's just too much with the player cards and stuff they'll never do it. besides, it's not like the roster matters in blitz. the announcer never says player names like it does in jam. and the stats, eh, just let me say this; each team's unique play is 10x more important than their player stats (read: the stats mean squat. but having a good unique play is priceless)


also if you missed joe danger don't worry. i played it for like an hour, it sucked. which i kind of should have knew before getting it, but, eh i'll give any game a shot if it's free. But yeah it's really lame in my opinion, i don't enjoy it any more than crash course (which is free to anyone). i'd seriously rather play excitebike.

i wish xbla had a legit release schedule. so much good sega coming soon. jet set this week, nights, toejam and earl, sonic 2 (probably will wait for a sale on that unless they put in online capabilities). plus retro city ransom, whenever that will decide to come out. the scott pilgrim dlc. damn, lot of good downloadables coming out soon.

Its fine if you don't enjoy the game as everyone has different tastes, but to draw any kind of comparison to JD 1 or 2 with Crash Course is ludicrous. There's depth and quality in the Danger series.

Kind of late to the party, but just finished Dust: An Elysian Tail. Great game, had an enjoyable 14 hours with it. I wouldn't consider any of this spoilers, but I'll throw it behind a spoiler tag just in case:

My one regret was that I started the game on Normal instead of a tougher difficulty. Not only did I miss out on an achievement, but I was basically a beast by the end of the game. Eventually I'll learn to start games like these on hard.

I also wish the game had an achievement for finding every treasure/secret in the game. Now that I've beaten it and gotten all the achievements I can get, there's not much motivating me to go back and pick up those last few treasures I missed.

Also, I'm once again able to confirm that I play games slow as hell. On my friends leaderboard of 6 people (all CAGs) I'm 5th in Completion %, 5th in wealth, 5th in enemies defeated, but have the 2nd longest play time.

Anyone have any clue if the Chronicles of Riddick is a permanent drop or just a deal of the week? I think I'll get some more points if it's going back up to 1600 msp.

Also I'd assume Escape from Butcher Bay is included, but can anyone confirm it?

Agreed. That is a ridiculous comparison likely based entirely off the art style. I'm only a few levels into Joe Danger 2, but the first one got nearly Trials-esque in terms of difficulty towards the end without ever feeling cheap. It was fun and difficult to get those runs where you picked up every item without crashing and recording the requisite high score, etc.

And not that critical reception is the end-all.... but the first game received 86 and 88 scores on metacritic (PS3 original release, and XBOX special edition release).

What do you guys think of astro pop worth 5?

Indeed, but frustrating at times and it is challenging. It is a fun game and got me addicted. Played it for 2 hours straight and after awhile, just gave up and moved on to my backlog lol..

My question is, is there anything worth purchasing? I have lots of MS Points and nothing has caught my eye. I was thinking of getting I Am Alive but am seeing mixed reviews and don't know of anything else to buy.

Get it. I was addicted to it for quite a while a few years ago.

Sometimes I play games pretty slow too, especially if I really like it and/or know that I won't be going back to play it anytime soon if ever. That's something I really like about gaming, if I want to spend more time with a game I'm enjoying I can in many cases.

Yes. Lots of fun. Challenging and addicting. Just be aware that it is not an easy completion for achievements. I think I only have about 70/200 points, and that was after completing all four quests and then some.

I second that for the completion thing. It's really challenging to max it out. Totally worth 400msp tho.
