Monopoly is Deal of the Week [again], will be $2.99. Since I've only had my WP for a few months, I missed out on the first time it was on sale.

Looks like it has pretty easy cheevos as well, for those (like me) who are into that sort of thing. :)

I'm tempted for the easy achievements, but still am unsure on if I would actually want to play it. But if repeats are happening, hopefully that means more past deals will go back on sale (ie Carneyvale and OMG) :)

[quote name='DrUnkAgAIn']I passed on Monopoly before, and I see no reason to not pass again. Just doesn't look like a very good game.[/QUOTE]

Ditto. I'll buy it if it ever drops to $1.99.
 
WP7 Deal of the Week

November 9

Also:

Fusion Sentient for Xbox is alive and self-aware on the Marketplace
Xbox Live: Shoot1UP to feature free ringtones in addition to shooting and dodging
Kinectimals - Review
 
I'm in the clock tower, trying to get to the castle keep. Stuck on a big, black winged angel-looking boss. I'm at level 11, I think I may need to grind up a couple levels. And I definitely need to get better at using food during battles. I thought I was awesome at this game, and this boss has totally put me in my place haha.
 
Enigmo at $1.99 is live. My phone is showing Full House Poker at $1.99 as well...

Also, the assassians creed game is listed at $2.99. I think its regular price is $4.99 but I could be mistaken.

Great week for cheap ass (mobile) gamers!

I bought Enigmo, Assassin's Creed and Full House Poker.

I already snatched Sonic 4 last month when it was accidentally listed for $2.99. TBH, the controls are so wonky on a touchscreen I wouldn't have paide $4.99 for it anyway.

Weird. The controls aren't as good as the console versions, but I still think they're among the best on a smartphone game.
 
Glad they are stepping up the sales, would like to see a bit more variety though since I had already picked up Sonic and FHP in previous sales. Will probably pick up Assassin's Creed since I don't have that one yet.

Even though I do not like to support games that have glitched achievements, I still picked up Enigmo just because the review said that they had submitted a patch for the achievement. Hopefully that sees the light of day sooer rather than later.

Also eastx, in your last post your review for enigmo links to your Castlevania Puzzle review.
 
I also bought Assassin's Creed. It's surprisingly console-like (or at least DS-like), which you can't say for many phone games.

Same here! Sonic 4's controls are as good as a virtual stick possibly could be IMO. Definitely better than Assassin Creed's...

Thanks! Fixed.

Agreed. Controls are among the best virtual stick controls I've experience ... I just don't like virtual stick controls. ;)

I'd pay ducats for an controller peripheral, even if it defeats the purpose of "mobile" gaming. :lol:
 
Any Assassin's Creed impressions? Reviews aren't exactly stunning, even for the DS version.

Also, are there achievements? I would assume so, but don't see a list at xbox360achievements.org
 
[quote name='Outinthedark']So I'm guessing Creed $3 sale was wrong pricing?[/QUOTE]

It's still live, isn't it? Microsoft didn't send out a press release for the extra games going on sale, so it's hard to say.

BTW, Let's Golf 2's online features are working now.
 
[quote name='Outinthedark']I'm seeing $4.99 at the moment.[/QUOTE]

Yup. Me too. Maybe it was just a 1 day sale like those weird XBLA sales. And I guess my hesitation made my decision for me, no way I'm buying at $4.99. Oh well.
 
And it looks like they're back. Sonic 4, Full House Poker and Assassins Creed for WP7 are all showing up on the Xbox Dashboard as part of the Fan Appreciation Sale.

I've been really sick since Thursday (still am), hence the lack of posts by me. Even missed out on running an interview with Sega over the weekend! Will get it posted this weekend though.

In that case, get well soon. :)
