anyways, 200 points for 50 meg and under and anything bigger can be priced 400 to 800 points
 
[quote name='bigdsinferno']looks like the n+ dlc will come out tomorrow as well.[/QUOTE]

that would be cool.....though I still can't even get the 30 stages cleared and don't even get me started on trying to find people to do multiplayer with

Some DC content might be out...someone is already using this gamerpic:
1Wdsb2JhbC9BCgUPBh0AGABdL3RpbGUvMC8yODAwNQAAAAAAAAD6MpyY.jpg

(From Gotham Knight)
 
after the first level of 1942, I had serious doubts as that level is so fucking easy (I don't remember that stage being easy) but man does it start to pick up afterwards. I do have to say that even though the difficulty picks up, its still has to be the easiest 19XX game.

Also bought the N+ level pack. Its worth the 200 points but man did I fly through most of them. I did find it funny that MS was worried that people would trade dick shaped levels and yet they made one.
 
That Go! Go! Break Steady game is like Beats for the PSP + Puzzloop/Magnetica/Zuma.

Buttons fly into the middle and you press it once it hits the ring. If you did it correctly, it brings up a string of colored orbs with faces. Break them like you do in Zuma or Magnetica. But unlike Magnetica where the line moves on its own, this game lets you move the line and then shoot an orb. The reward? Your guy does a breaker move / pose.

I guess it's ok, but I'm having a hard time justifying the $10 price tag. Anyone actually buy it and try out the rest of the features?

About what time will Geometry Wars II be available to download tomorrow. I have to work a double at 10 am tomorrow and wondering if it'll be up when I get up around 8. If not I will just wait and pick up some points on my break.

Can you actually play a game in the Madden demo? When I tried it out, I only could take the Madden IQ test and then do the Superbowl Madden Moment with the Giants beating Patriots (which pissed me off on the inside).
 
[quote name='LinkinPrime']Tropic Thunder gamerpics, not sure what region though or pricing if any:
[/QUOTE]

Well, I can verify it is available in the U.S. region and the pics and theme are free.

I also added Ninja Gaiden II Mission Pack. It came out last Friday but it had quite some bugs and was taken off. Seems it is ok now and is back on Market Place.
 
[quote name='mrcheapo11']Can you actually play a game in the Madden demo? When I tried it out, I only could take the Madden IQ test and then do the Superbowl Madden Moment with the Giants beating Patriots (which pissed me off on the inside).[/QUOTE]

That's all you can do, but it's still awesome.
 
Does the Madden demo leave a save behind of your Madden test results? That would be nice so I don't have to play it again when I get the full game.
 
The Madden demo is TERRIBLE. It doesn't tell you how to play at all. It just assumes you know how to play already. And for defensive stuff, you don't. With Offense, you have button indicators, but not for defense. Oh, and it's not even a game, you have a single drive recreating the final drive of the Super Bowl. This thing is a 1.1gb? Give me a break.
 
Since Live still said there was one day left for this Madden thing, will something unlock tomorrow, like how Too Human keeps unlocking characters? I sure hope so...
