Can't get Bioshock because I only have points on my silver account. :(

Mystery Spin is half off (40 points).

Which parts of the instructions in the OP from the Games on Demand section are you having trouble with? I'm happy to help when I know what you've already tried.

When that box comes up afteryou click purchase on xbox.com click buy with microsoft points. If you're on xbox console press X.



Look at the bottom where it says press X

I can also confirm that I laughed everytime someone's response started with "I can confirm..."

Just wanted to confirm that I checked the OP and didn't see it there when I posted and was at work and didn't have access to XBL, Xbox.com or XBLDB. So I asked here.

I can also confirm that those who chastised me for asking were being assholes and completely detailed the thread with their "I can confirm" posts.

With that thanks to who confirmed it and I will be picking it up tonight.

We already answered your "claims" last time you said you can't buy game with MS points and in this case that deal is dead now anyways.

Right on. That's what I thought but for some reason read it as saying it was the Left 4 Dead 1 Crash Course.

I've been waiting to finish L4D1 (is that an acceptable abbreviation?) before getting L4D2. But I've been waiting for L4D1's DLC to be discounted first. Haven't seen it happen since L4D2 was released though. Hope I didn't miss it a few years back.

I wish DR:OTR was on sale for 50% off. Well maybe Ill get it on psn, since I got in on the free ps+ last night.

You're spending points to get a miniscule amount of points back. Plus it's not like that game is hard to find on the cheap anyways. Personally I say skip this promo as opposed to thinking you got yourself a deal.

I've decided to pass on RE4 and hopefully get it on sale on PS3 at a later time.

What are people's thoughts on Leedmees? It looked kind of fun and I'm always looking for games to play with my nephew.

I might finally use the Chain Reaction and buy the Hazardous Reunion and Raziel & Kane packs. Recently my friend and I went through and finished the last achievement so I wouldn't mind having more content to play.

Those Croft packs are one room puzzle gimmicks, survival arenas, or chases. You're just getting an assortment of four of these one room challenges of varying types. The longevity of these packs is not large.

Is Alan Wake's American Nightmare worth 600 MSP?

I can't believe Splatterhouse isn't a part of the Shocktober sale...Namco buried it too well I guess.

Also, is there a chance that there will be other eligible games on sale next Tuesday (10/30/12) since the October promotion ends on the 31st?

You think they would put another set of horror games on sale next week?

If you're expecting anywhere as much depth as the full retail game you'll be disappointed. Basically the game plays like Groundhogs Day with Alan having to replay 3 of the same areas (with new tasks thrown in each time) to escape the story he's stuck in. It's no where as good as the first game (or even the DLC I dare argue), but if you want more Alan Wake in general then I'd say the price is right and about 4-6 hours not counting the "Fight Til Dawn" mode. Plus the writing isn't bad and it does touch upon the characters from the first game.

Four games on sale for Shocktober and 12 others listed for the hell of it, so that's a great sale.

Originally Posted by tylerh1701 ^Like last year, they are advertising a plethora of "horror" content, but only discounting a small portion of it. MS can be very loose with the term "sale". I'd say there's almost 0% chance that that content drops in price, so I'd recommend not getting your hopes up guys.

Well, sometimes its On Sale and sometimes its For Sale. For me, its No Sale.

Depends. You are getting a much more scaled down helping of Alan Wake. It's almost all combat this time, with mostly you and a villain asshole determined to chew every bit of scenery in this game and the three games next to it. He's always a hoot to watch but apart from that you're just schlepping across big open areas to check boxes until you get to the end. The demo is an accurate depiction.

Alan Wake's combat has been refined here. If you are as big a fan of that as I am, then you should enjoy this serving as most of your time will be spent in survival mode anyway. Enemy shadow HP has been dropped and gun HP raised a bit so that the weapon variety is no longer a dumb joke and the flashlight is no longer the only weapon that matters (Even though it is still vital). More enemy variety too. Only problem is flares are no longer quite the immensely satisfying nuke they were in AW.

Yes. Just don't expect greatness. It's very arcade-y, but decent fun. But like bardockkun said it's nowhere near as good as the retail game.

Edit: RollingSkull nailed it - agree 100%.
