No one on my friends list had the game when I played the bulk of it and I had a great time with randoms. I picked up the Martian Bear DLC yesterday and played a few games last night. The only people with mics were using them to call out enemies and everyone was helpful and playing well. I generally don't run into a lot of talkative 12-year-olds, trash talking bros, racists, etc. in XBLA games online. I fully endorse this game and it is much better in multiplayer, even with randoms.

yeah that seems to be my promblem aswell. No one person on my friends list plays arcade games unless their super popular and well known. I dont mind playing with randoms. Alright looks like i found another arcade game to add to my growing collection, plus its a doublefine game and you can NEVER go wrong with doublefine.

And it's fine single player, just nothing special. It's completely do-able, not nearly as bad as dungeon defenders single player.

Looking back at that post, it looks like it can be taken the wrong way. I was originally gonna say I was grooming the horse, but THAT sounded weirder. Now I am just screwed. I'm going back to playing Gears of War lol

Yeah go play tug of war with your gears.

Anyone with kids under the age of 7-8 should grab Happy Action Theater. My 5 year old adores it, and it's the first game that my 2.5, now 3 year old daughter kept wanting to play with daddy.

I got Trials HD for me. 50% on both is DoubleFine (see what I did there?)

FYI in case this hasn't been brought up, but there's a new version of Magic coming out this summer (Magic 2013) although for $7.50 you get the full game and its major expansion so that's a good price. There's 2 or 3 more extra deck packs that are $3 each if you're interested.

If this is true could you provide a link? I never liked magic before it became an arcade game and it has become one of those games that enjoy playing atleast a couple times a week even after getting all the achievements for both games.

Thanks for the tip. I already have the free TC and will actually play the game before making a decision on DLC that costs money. Why I would consider paying more money for game content when I don't even know if I like the main game is beyond me.

Originally Posted by Blaster man How is Happy Action Theater? I heard on the Bombcast that it's fun. edit: I went ahead and got it figuring the kids will like it. I bought a bunch of stuff from this sale. Now the only things I'm thinking about but haven't decided on are the Kinect Sports Season 2 add-ons. I have the base game but I'm just not sure about the add-ons? Opinions?

KS 1 and 2 are kind-of my go to Kinect games so I usually buy the DLC when they put it on sale (or offer it for free of course) so that I have new stuff to keep me interested. Skiing is not one of my favorites but figured for 200 points I would still get some enjoyment out of it. As strange as it sounds I like the "atmosphere" that a night-time scene brings even when it is something fake displayed on my TV.

Wrong thread?

Since I had MS points sitting in my account, I picked up Iron Brigade and Castle Crashers. Played the demo for Haunt and my 13yr old son said it was too kid-ish even for him. He said why is it called Haunt and it's not even scary lol.

LOL I've done that before too.

Holy crap! I was busy and hadn't checked the thread since Monday night. Come back and there's like 10 new pages to read through! A good thing as it's due to the interest of the current sales to be sure but man alive it took a while to read. Nice that this week's sale has some variety and quality to it.

When I have more time I'll try to go back and find all the people that offered up Iron Brigade/Trenched multiplayer services. Anyone can also feel free to send me a friend request if they wish to play some multiplayer in it. I'll have to snag the DLC while it's on sale and check out the other offerings I don't have.

As for next week, Beyond Good and Evil has been one of my favorite games of all time ever since I obtained it for the Gamecube during its initial release. I consider it to be VERY good.

As others have said, 2012 is a VAST improvement over the original and you can play Two Headed Giant online now. There's also the Archenemy mode you can play local or online also (only the AI can be the Archenemy in the base game, you have to buy the expansion to be able to be the Archenemy yourself.)

Yeah Redjoey might want to add this to the OP.

Uh, Brütal Legend.

He can't add it since it doesn't have a release date. There are a ton of XBLA games that will be released sooner or later (Sega vintage packs, a number of Microsoft published games..etc). It makes no sense to list them in the OP until we know when they're coming out.

Is there a complete list of Xbox originals somewhere?

Does the fun in Orcs must Die last? I enjoyed the demo...
