[quote name='tylerh1701']Does Full House Poker get better, or are there difficulty levels? One slight raise will get opponents to fold 90%+ of the time. And if one of them raises back, you better get out of dodge because you know they have something amazing.[/QUOTE]

Sometimes they really are bluffing - I find letting them bluff first often works. But no, the AI really doesn't get much better.
 
[quote name='DrUnkAgAIn']Some of the later opponents have better AI, but the tournaments are usually pretty easy.[/QUOTE]

Thanks guys. For $2, no regrets. But I don't think I'll be spending as much time with it as I thought I would be.
 
[quote name='ElektroDragon']Dammit, where is the Samsung Focus S or HTC Titan already so I can get a WP7 and buy all these games![/QUOTE]
Sometime in October is the rumour. Those will be nice additions to the WP7 lineup.

[quote name='benjamouth']Sonic 4 is currently priced at $2.99, I snapped it up in case it's a price mistake and they correct it.[/QUOTE]

Same here! Thank you for the head's up!
 
I tried Sonic when I first got my phone, but I just thought I would never buy it because of the price, so I deleted it. Now, I want to try the trial again to see if it is actually worth it, but I can't redownload it through Zune, because it says I already purchased it. Is there a way around this? Downloading from 3G/WiFi is not an option..

Thank you. God I love CAG! After playing the demo and not being overly impressed, I was debating the $5 price tag. But for $3, snatched it up. I'm interested to see if it goes back up.

Also, would love to see another "theme" sale like last week! I've got $$$ to burn

Ditto!

The price shows as $2.99 on my phone, but it wouldn't let me buy it ("Try again later" error message). It did let me buy it at $2.99 via Zune software.
 
I just snagged it, and plan on calling AT&T in the morning. It still clearly says that it's 2.99 until Oct 11 on the deal of the week on the phone, so I'm hoping they should refund the $2 difference between what they advertise and what they charge without much issue.
 
[quote name='JohnnyDeLicious']Huh, I wonder why it checked out early. Lame.


Nevermind, I see. They felt that they discounted it too steeply. Still lame.[/QUOTE]

My guess sonic was only supposed to be discounted two dollars and not four. At 2.99 it is a steal IMHO. I wonder what will get this week. I would love to get plants vs Zombies, tentacles (too soon for this one probably), de blob, or hydro thunder this week. I could add more to that list but figured I should keep it moderately short. ;)
 
[quote name='tylerh1701']Looks like iBlast Moki will be deal of the week. $1.99[/QUOTE]

I bought it. 1.99 is just too easy to buy regardless of quality unless it is unplayable or broken. I played the demo before and it was fun little game.
Off topic of DOTW, but I will put out a question regarding mango apps. In hopes my phone buddies can fill me in a bit. I am looking for mango, live tiles w/ push notifications, that are really cool. I have only downloaded a couple free-like flixster, groupon, allrecipes. Any recommendations or apps that have live tiles that are quality/cool? Or where I can look for good recommendations? thanks to those that can suggest anything. :)

If you download the app called "Appflow," it has a section of best live tile apps. The better ones that I'm using are Flixster, USA Today, AP Mobile, and NFL Scores. Hope that helps.
 
Any word about a new game today? If not, that makes 2 weeks in a row...

I don't buy many new games, but it's disheartening to see them not releasing games.
 
I don't think there will be a new release today. Contacted Microsoft and they committed to explaining it, so hopefully we'll have news soon.

Super thank you. USA today is great btw!
 
[quote name='tylerh1701']DOTW is Puzzle Quest 2 for $5. Taken from where EastX writes, just thought I'd post it here for those that don't frequent WPcentral[/QUOTE]

Sale recycling: Apparently, it's not just for XBLA anymore... :cry::cry::cry::cry:
 
[quote name='eastx']Appreciate the help! Don't forget to post the link too.[/QUOTE]

Will do in the future! Looking forward to checking out that Orbital demo tomorrow, looks real interesting.
 
[quote name='eastx']Kinectimals sneaks onto Xbox Live

Heck yeah! Two games in one week, baby.[/QUOTE]


Funny that they would release two in 1 week, considering we just went 2 weeks without one before last week...oh well, I guess MS knows what they're doing. :roll: Good price on Kinectimals I was expecting $4.99 or even higher.
 
I'm happy with my purchase so far of B&B for $2. Surprised to see Kinectimals for only $2.99, but I'm not complaining. Tempted to buy it, but I'll probably wait for some reviews first.
 
Kinectimals was released prematurely and has been pulled. It'll be back on November 2. The download link in our post may or may not still work...

If you like the 360 version of Kinectimals, the WP7 port is a safe bet. It's got most of the same content but less minigames and of course simpler backgrounds.
 
So, in playing Beards and Beaks, I see that I can EASILY buy Mushroom Packs and the Cave DLC with Microsoft points. So why on Earth can't I buy the actual Xbox Live games with Microsoft points? This seems like something MS is doing intentionally.

It seems like I read that there are problems with patents that someone has for in-app purchases for mobile phones. For some reason, using Microsoft points instead of actual money avoided directly conflicting with that patent. I wonder where I read that...
 
I think they'll add the ability to buy games with MS Points next year, but it's only a guess. Tried to set up an interview to discuss issues like that but MS didn't bite... Maybe I'll hit up a different rep and give it another go sometime.

That would be cool if we were able to. For the obvious reason that MS points are usually fairly easy to come by for less than full price.
