    XBLIG Price Drops

    It was pretty terrible when I played it before the update. I haven't tried it since then. I doubt that it has improved enough to compare it to the good games on the first post but who knows... The first post is looking pretty good now. The only thing I would suggest at this point is that you...

    XBLIG Price Drops

    I'm pretty sure Explosionade was always 80 points since I own it and I don't buy the 240 point games. I agree that it is pretty good though. I'd like to toss my opinion out there for what to do with the price drops for not-so-great games. I think the spoiler tag that was mentioned earlier would...

    XBLA Sales 2011 - Closed!

    Seeing the wording of your URL cracked me up. "Min Price = too much" is right on target for games on demand :)

    The value of the pinball tables really depends on what you are comparing them to and how much play time you get out of one. Rock Band songs are 2-3 dollars so compared to that the tables are a pretty good deal. I don't feel strongly either way since I'm not a big pinball fan. It would be nice...

    I just saw on http://hdfanatic.com/xbldb/latest-offer-price-history/price-decreases/ that a few games are on sale. These could be early permanent price drops too since they aren't very impressive sale prices... Swarm - 1200 down to 800 Blacklight: Tango Down - 1200 down to 800 Bejeweled Blitz...

    I think they said something at the start of the video about not wanting to have any big spoilers, so they were just doing an arena to show off a little gameplay.

    I would say the best way is to go to the "top rated" section either on the dashboard or on xbox.com and grab demos of the ones that look interesting. http://marketplace.xbox.com/en-US/Games/XboxIndieGames?sortby=TopRated

    That site seems pretty good. I haven't seen it before. I'm always interested in the latest indie games so I'll keep an eye on it. Another good site is http://www.armlessoctopus.com/category/reviews/ . They don't review a ton of games but they tend to focus on the higher quality ones. A few of...

    For the people complaining about the 200 point rebate, think about this; A couple months ago there was a 5% rebate on everything you bought and people really liked that idea. This new promotion is equal to 12.5% back if you buy two 800 point games. A lot of us are really cheap and don't buy...

    The promotion isn't very good but it isn't exactly terrible just because it has a kinect game. If someone out there actually wants all the games (minus Fruit Ninja) for full price, then just think of buying Fruit Ninja as a 400 point discount on the lot. Cost of 5 games without Fruit Ninja =...

    It isn't really fair to say that the deals suck (in general) just because they don't have the specific things you want though. It sounds like if you didn't find any games out of more than 60 then you probably only want a very small selection of items. Naturally there will be less of a chance...

    I agree that the recent deals suck, but in the past 6 months there have been over 60 arcade games on sale. That isn't counting dlc or anything else. If you haven't found anything to buy in that long then you are really hard to please.

    GameStop TIV/Promos: Old Thread, New Thread in First/Last Posts.

    I traded these today. Prices are the base values. Xbox 360 Crash Bandicoot: Mind Over Mutant - $15 Hasbro Family Game Night (the first one) - $10 Playstation 3 Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare - $6 All together it was $44.10 after promos and 10%. Not bad since I bought Crash and CoD for $3 a...

    I'm looking for people to play Castlevania with too. I'm adding a few of you from recent pages. To anyone who I don't send a request...please add me. It seems like it is really hard to find a game if you are starting out. Edit: My gamertag is Urchin80

    I played the disc version and I regret not getting the XBLA version instead. That game has a ridiculous amount of long loading times. Sometimes there is even a loading time to get to the pause menu! To make matters worse, you can't install and play the game from the disc to speed things up. For...

    There are some new permanent price drops listed on the dashboard too. Comic Jumper is now 800 (was 1200) Puzzle Quest 2 is now 800 (was 1200) Droplitz is now 400 (was 800)

    I always install the games to my hard drive first. The problem with this disc (and every XBLA compilation I've played) is that you can't truly install the games. It will let you put them onto your hard drive, but it still loads them off of the disc no matter what. Crazy Taxi wasn't too bad on...

    I just finished playing it on the Dreamcast Collection and it held up a lot better than I expected. In fact, I had more fun with it than any other Sonic game. One thing that always bugged me about the original games on Genesis was that you are supposed to be super fast but you can never seem to...

    Live DoTW Deadliest Warrior | READ OP FOR MORE

    Those prices are disappointing. I guess Sega wasn't in the holiday spirit this year. I don't get why Sonic 4 is 800. I probably would have passed even at 600 though.

    Live DoTW Deadliest Warrior | READ OP FOR MORE

    I just grabbed Lair of the Shadow Broker for 200 as well. I understand that it is the best of the Mass Effect 2 DLC so I figure it is worth a shot, even though I rarely buy DLC. Any (relatively) unbiased opinions on the other two?
