Recently my friend and I went through and finished the last achievement so I wouldn't mind having more content to play.

I made the call to pass on RE4 as well. I steadily lost interest in RE after the original in my youth and just can't find the appeal or get hooked regardless of how many 'ol college tries I give it.

Leedmees is alright. Its fun for a bit, but not necessarily something you're going to want to go back to very often. For 5 bucks its not a bad purchase.

I'm biting on the Croft add-ons finally as well. I looked the other way last time they were on sale but occasionally wish I hadn't.

Tell me about it. I've been lamenting the fact its not included in the October Rewards promo either for about 2 weeks now. Bleh.

yes it is

Mr. Scratch makes this game but be careful though, he's a bit of a psycho

I can confirm this info is in the OP ... only via the S&S+ will you access the "special/hacked/kludge" region where the price has been knocked down. If you view the Marketplace using your home region (whether USA, Canada, UK, or whatever), you'll see the regular price. Then after a few days (or more?) after the sale is done, they'll do a 1-time batch run to mark the item as "bought" on your account for your home region to reflect the item is "already purchased".

If you liked Alan Wake i think American Nightmare is definitely worth it at 600. I wasn't disappointed with it at 1200 even though it didn't wow me.

Got Alan Wake's American Nightmare last time it was 600 points. It's a lot of fun, definitely recommend it if you liked the original game.

Thanks for all the feedback guys.

Alan Wake AN, is the only XBLA game I've ever bought at not only full price but at launch. Truth be told mainly because I wanted to support a possibility of a full sequel. While I thought it wasn't quite as good as it predecessor. My only gripe was it length. While you do have to give props on the quirky thing they do to extent it's over all length, it's still meh for me. I just have to keep telling myself it's a XBLA game not a full console version that you were spoiled with.

So...I am Alive and Deadlight are 50% off also? Through scratch and match?. I can't confirm myself, I am unable to go on Live right now. Thanks guys.

From what I've heard ever since RE4 came out, its a great game. Plus the Xbox 360 HD version did an admiral job. Good deal IMO. I personally liked the original Alan Wake and I enjoyed the time playing the demo, so I think that is a good deal also. I just may pick them both up.


I suck for not picking up Darksiders for 800msp. What a shame.


Oh, and why is the OP not updated yet? Is it just me?

That's a tough pill to swallow though just because AW was such quality and in all the polish ways, AWAN is such a step down from AW. It's fun but it's like some kid got in Remedy's paint box and just doodled at it for a while. All the good stuff is there though but... just less of it. Less of the quality direction and pacing of AW too. I love it a lot but it's a tough sort of love.

Plus who on earth directed that scientist voice actress? Does he even know what English is? Did the writers even TALK to him? She delivered EVERY line with the wrong inflection.

Getting RE4 and maybe Bioshock 2...I have it on disc and may trade to Best Buy if its worth it.

Was hoping to see RE:CV on sale too...oh well, hopefully soon.

they have put the bioshock in the shocktober promo on the dash. looks like a way to make it look like more on sale when it is not. wish everything in the shocktober page on dash ws on sale

How does Resident Evil 4 HD run on the 360? I had heard that the 360 version is the weakest of the ports. Is this true? Anyone who has it, is it fine getting it on 360 or worth waiting for PS3?

Glad to see RE4 HD actually got discounted this time around, though I wish Code Veronica got the same treatment as well.

I am not sure I know what this means?

Jumping into the OP to make some quick edits, so that Batman & THQ are no longer confusing folks. I'll update this post when done.

Thanks.

A little off topic, but The Splatters is quite a fun game. It's got the charm and addicting gameplay of Peggle and it's pretty challenging. Glad I picked it up when it was 400 last week(?).

I enjoyed it overall, but it was too repetitive and the dialogue in general was meandering and pointless. I didn't like how they were going for a humorous angle with parts of the story. Just makes me appreciate the original game even more.

DONE! Fairly simple to differentiate the sale vs. non-sale items (thanks as always to Spylon's excellent work!), so that should help.

Long story short ... you'll never see the S&S+ prices (for Scratch & Win or Chain Reaction or Mystery Wheel) in the Xbox.com or 360's own Marketplace ... you must use the crappy app.
