It's really fun with a group, either of kids or adults who like acting silly. It's definitely the best game around for very little kids since there's no goals whatsoever. More of an interactive toy than a game in that sense. But my two kids (2 and 4) adore it and every group of adults I've shown it to has had fun with it as well.

My personal opinion about this thread (and also seems like most peoples opinion) is the OP should obviously stay completely on topic to deals but the thread itself it pretty much anything XBLA related goes. If everyone stayed on topic in here there would be a couple posts on Tuesdays but then the thread would die out, how we have it now it's actually worth visiting this thread every day for the discussions going on.

This is a wonderful thread and shouldn't be changed. Although a title change could help smooth out the issue some people have with it being off topic. Besides that this is likely one of the most useful and best threads on this website.

Thanks for the input.

Actually something else I was wondering. Why don't we keep track of upcoming releases anymore? I liked that feature and was actually wondering if I should just get some of the games on sale or wait to see if anything interesting is coming out soon.

Hell Yeah DLC announced, coming Oct. 23th.

Pid October 31st

You know what they say. White people love getting offended for other people. But I agree, the thread is fine how it is, and stifling communication would just keep it from being bumped all the time.

Pid looks amazing. Some of the Might & Delight staff have previously worked on Bionic Commando Rearmed.

Good to hear it's only 800msp.

edit: New Pid trailer shows the differences between Normal and Hard difficulties:

Grabbed the Iron Brigade DLC. I love this thread.

I can't recommend Costume Quest highly enough! One of the best games on XBLA. October is a great time to get into this one.

You'll probably validate for the final release, but that would be it. They're basically ensuring that the "proofs" remain current, and with each new Dashboard release, there's a hard-coded prompt to validate the security info. Once the "proofs" are kept up-to-date, then piracy & game-sharing will theoretically be dropping down, since they can better manage who is logging in on which accounts.

Oh, and speaking of the Dashboard, remember tonight is the VP debate, so tune in for at least 30 minutes on your 360 (plus for 2 other debates) for the Rewards' avatar armor! :-)

I'd think so! You get a whole campaign + an overpowered weapon for your low-level char's + an arena to grind within ... all for $4? You're never going to see the vanilla game go for so much (especially at 1 year from release), so I'd take while you can ... the ability to resell the GOTW will also be greater as well.

Darkstalkers 1 and 3 coming to XBLA early next year! Super psyched! But where is SF Alpha?

I guess there was confusion as to which games were included in Darkstalkers Resurrection. It's actually going to be 2 and 3.

"We were agonizing over which to release," Neal told us shortly after the game's announcement. "They're the two most popular, fan-favorite games of the people who have played Darkstalkers way back when and loved it. There's a group that loves Darkstalkers 2 and a group that loves Darkstalkers 3." Eventually, Capcom concluded that the only way to keep everyone happy was to release both games as a double-pack.

Looks like I am going to get:
Toy Soldiers and all of the DLC for both
A World of Keflings
Iron Brigade DLC
Stacking DLC
Quarrel
Swarm
Mercury Hg (Really like the atmosphere)

Yes it's 2 and 3. It was confirmed on Capcom's stream just now too.

Darkstalkers? yea! I haven't played a Darkstalkers game since the PSP launch title.

Correct me but the Spook-tacular rewards only includes movies?
all I see are movies
I've been wanting to get costume quest for some time now so I wanted to know if this will count towards the promotion


and which one is better costume quest or iron brigade? I only have 600 msp to spare at the moment

looks like it's time to grab Iron Brigade

I played Pid at PAX, it was really good. I wonder how they'll use the gravity gameplay mechanic throughout the game, but I hope it gets decent recognition from people/press.

Does anyone know if the XBLA version of CS:GO got the map updates that the PC version got last week?
