I picked up the venture bros gamerpics (80 points for four by the way).

There's one for Hank, Dean, Doc, and Brock. All are close ups of their faces. I switched my pic to the Hank one for reference.

My wife was a little disappointed by the selection of Venture Brothers one, in addition to the selection general. No Home Movies? Thumbs Down.
 
I got the Venture Bros. as well as the Robot Chicken...kinda disappointed in Robot Chicken...seemed pricey for the pics I got and I was really hoping for the Venture Bros. Skull Logo...oh well.

The one I have on right now...a zoomed out pic of the one I have, the Proffesor from the title theme...some doll with glasses and I think what looks like a robot, from a distance.

What's in the Venture Bros. pack?

I didn't like The Brak Show, but it'd be money to have a Brak gamerpicture. Then, maybe, people will get my gamertag. (Even thought there ain't much to get...)

I emailed Adult Swim and requested Brak Show and Space Ghost pictures. ;)

And your Mt. Dew pic is that on the marketplace as well or did you get it elsewhere?

There were a few new free pics / themes that I didn't have yet.

GRAW 2 Throwback Map Pack 2 is out as well (includes new game mode):

Content: GRAW 2 Throwback Pack 2
Price: Free
Availability: Not available in Japan
Dash Text: [ESRB: T (Teen) BLOOD,LANGUAGE,VIOLENCE] GRAW2 Throwback Pack 2 consists of 7 classic maps from Ghost Recon’s illustrious history. In addition to the 7 maps, there is a new game mode called Co-op Exfiltration. All of these maps have upgraded visuals and support all of GRAW2’s thousands of customizable game modes.
Size: 582.51 MB

Here's an explanation of the new co-op mode from a RS lead designer:

Exfiltration is a coop mode that plays out like a series of rescue missions. There are two preset game types, Evasion and POW. In Evasion, you start with an allied officer near your insertion and your team has to lead him through enemy patrols and vehicles to a designated helicopter extraction point. In POW, there are three officers that start in the captivity of enemy forces. You have to eliminate the guards, then lead the prisoners out of the area. The trick to POW is that once the guards are attacked, they could decide to eliminate the prisoners. This leads to some cool scenarios where players have to move into position without being detected, then coordinate a simultaneous attack on the guards around a prisoner to ensure success.

As with all other game modes, Exfiltration works across all maps and has customization options (number of allies, enemy difficulty, etc.). This is definitely a cool addition to our coop modes as it adds something more along the lines of a full mission, except compatible across all maps.

Might be old but I saw they had the first(?) episode of Heroes up in HD for free. I think it was titled something like Genesis.
 
Doesnt it seem a bit late for a Call of Juarez demo? A demo could have sold me on the game back in June but i dont think i really care anymore with all the good games coming.

Is it the 74 minute uncensored episode? I will hav eto get that if so.

The Call of Juarez demo was not that great.....I was annoyed with the little puzzles about moving crates and stuff.

I heard the TimeShift demo is up, is this true?

Of course xbox live signup is down right now an hour after I recovered it at my friends house. I go home and can't download NHL 08, which I've been waiting for FOREVER.

I never played the one that was on the OXM disc but this is a POS.

No, they scrapped the game and rebuilt it over the course of the delay.

Hated the OXM demo disc that came out back in the day, this new rebuilt version is pretty decent...nothing too spectacular but its good.
 
saw this on gamespot

However, to celebrate the Labor Day holiday and give gamers home from work something to pass the time, Microsoft will be taking half off the prices of four older Xbox Live Arcade games for two days. This Sunday and Monday, gamers will be able to get deals on Gauntlet, Dig Dug, Small Arms, and Zuma Deluxe. Gauntlet and Dig Dug will be 200 Microsoft points each, or $2.50. Small Arms and Zuma Deluxe will be cut to 400 Microsoft points, or $5 a pop.

not the 4 best games, but i might bite on gauntlet. ive played the game to death over the last 20 years, but i have an odd number of points right now, 340 i think, so for 200 points, i figure why not.
