Games on demand sale starting next week. Could we see Re 4 on sale? Maybe if microsoft is smart. Also next weeks dotw is forza stuff, Joe Danger, Sega racing, and mother fucking DAYTONA. BTW not feeling voltron. its ok if you like twin shooters.
 
Cuz I'm bored, here's what looks like the full list of THQ Sales:

Voltron & DLC - 50% off
Stacking & DLC - 50% off
Saints Row 2 DLC - 50% off

You Don't Know Jack DLC - 50% off
Homefront DLC (1) - 50% off
 
What I find so frustrating is that all the decent sales recently have been open to everybody. DotW has be absolute rehashed crap! I'm happy for the free members, but man throw us Gold members a bone here. Next week looks ok for DotW, but I have Joe Danger on PSN already so probably won't double dip.
 
I passed on SR2 last time but I might bite again. Is it more a co-op thing with the DLC? I will mostly be playing SP and have no use for Co-Op...it is more an achievement thing for me.
 
Damn, I have all double fine games and their dlc.
Just a friendly warning about stacking. I don't get motion sickness at all, but that game made me want to puke if I played it for more than 20 minutes. So you may want to try the demo before you buy.
I had to use a walkthrough just to get throught it (and the DLC) asap. :cry:
Great game though.
 
Oh, so the REAL DotW was indeed Bioshock 2... for the umpteenth time... well, I think I'll skip since I didn't even began the main game, despite grabbing its wonderful collector's edition, but I'll eventually snag Minerva's Den and the other DLCs 'cause they seem to be discounted every other day...

Thinking about Joe Danger next week, what's the common verdict on it? :)
 
With as many time as Stacking and Costume Quest have been on sale, I'd love to see Iron Brigade pop up one of these times. Maybe that one wasn't published by THQ.

Ah man, this sucks. I got sick playing some of the Valve games in Orange Box collection. Cannot stand more than 15-20mins at one session. :(
Should try the demo then, i was going to buy it blindly. Thanks for the warning.

Microsoft is publisher.
 
[quote name='kill3r7']Custome Quest Full Game and DLC is on sale as well.[/QUOTE]

YEEEAAAYUUHHH!!!

I have been waiting for Grubbins! I figured it would never go on sale and would pick it up next Halloween, but this is totally glob!:applause:

Unfortunately the worst part is the ship level (which is level 2 if I remember correctly) so that may not be available in the demo. The train station was not bad at all, but 10 minutes of running around the ship made my stomach turn.
I hope you won't have any problems with the game, it was really terrific and unique. I really wanted to enjoy it.

Also, for those of you who buy Stacking and want the achievements DO NOT update the game. The update makes one achievement unattainable and you'll have to remove the update to get it to work.

Yeah, Stacking is most definitely an adventure game, meaning there are a few correct, specifiic solutions to each problem. But there are also tons of solutions that seem correct that don't work, just like all adventure games.

Just a fair warning about Stacking, make sure you like adventure games before you jump in. I got it free from PS+, and I'm really glad I didn't pay anything for it. Definitely not my cup of tea.

I LOVE Joe Danger. It was worth the full price I paid, couldn't wait for it to go on sale. Try the demo. If you think that's good, the rest of it is even better.
 
For anyone getting or already have rapture metro for bioshock. Send me a message so we can setup some games. Ive been trying FOREVER to get the achievements.

Looks like I need a points card.

Joe Danger and Daytona USA next week most likely along with HOPEFULLY RE4.

This week, probably Rapture Metro DLC and Saints Row 2 DLC, and maybe Apples to Apples.

Nice, already queued, thank you: it resembles a mix between Super Mario, Trials and Excitebike, and that's a huge plus in my book! :D

Try xbox360achievements.org, should still be games going. I myself have 950/1000 but my backlog got so big I never went back all this time, even with all the DLC.
 
[quote name='Doctor Who']Will probably only pick up Joe Danger next week.

Might get the Bioshock 2 dlc if I can find the game for dirt cheap though![/QUOTE]

Bioshock 2 is awesome. As for the DLC, Minerva's Den is probably the best piece of story-focused DLC ever made. It's better than most full-priced retail games.

Anyway, I just picked up Costume Quest and the Grubbins on Ice DLC. I've been waiting to play that for a while, and my rewards points covered half of it.
 
I'll be trying out the voltron demo and I'll probably pick up the Saints Row 2 DLC.

Has Costume Quest been below 600 MP? I might pick up the dlc and hope for the game to go on sale for 400. If 600 is the lowest it's been before then I'll most likely get it as well this week.
 
Bought the remaining Bioshock DLC and the new games finally put on sale. Maybe I should finally play this. To the person needing a friend, add me.

Jack Packs? Yes please.

Stacking and Costume Quest DLC? Double awesome.

Nice to see new stuff in the future weeks as well.

600 is the lowest:

[quote name='Outinthedark']DOTW is always Gold, these misc sales like THQ/Konami are open for everyone.[/QUOTE]

Good to know. Too bad my dad can't get Joe Danger for 600. I sure wish we had a gifting program on Xbox.
 
For people wondering, the Saints Row 2 DLC is incredibly short. I Think 2-3 missions are so and add a few more vehicles and outfits, but it's nothing really memorable especially if you've already beaten it.
 
[quote name='hufferstl']Joe Danger will be mine. Probably a good idea for them to put it on sale before Trials Evolution comes out.[/QUOTE]
There's not much similarity between those two besides controlling a guy on a motorcycle. One is a platformer and the other is a puzzle game.
 
[quote name='DrUnkAgAIn']Dammit, I just bought Grubbins on Ice last month to get the 5% back. Haven't even played it yet.[/QUOTE]

I also bought it (along with The Lost Hobo King). Atleast, I already played through both of them.

In for the YDKJ packs and Joe Danger. I'll have to try the demo on Voltron and will most likely bite on Apples to Apples.

I definitely recommend the Costume Quest and Stacking DLC especially at 200 msp.
 
Wow. Can finally snag Grubbins. Knew it would go on sale eventually given it's been on sale at least a couple times now on PSN. Considering buying Stacking & its DLC even though I have the game on PSN but that was a freebie.

Also in for all the Jack packs which means I'll have to pick the game up again.

Going to flush my money down the Voltron hole even with the developer's poor track record.

Will have to try the Apples to Apples demo.

Probably in for Daytona USA next week and I have a remote interest in Joe Danger though I don't know why. If Deathsmiles 2 goes on sale next week I may bite (probably).
 
Grubbins on Ice on sale??? Finally! Yeah! I'm definitely going to be grabbing that.

200 points - that is the sale price, right? If so, it's on sale.
 
Grubbins purchased and queued up. I'll be trick or treatin' tonight!

I may buy Joe Danger next week, but I'm unsure. Trials Evolution is where I want to spend my money. LOL.
 
Add me to the boat who picked up Grubbins on Ice during the February rewards promotion. I'd like to personally blame everyone who was so pessimistic about it ever going on sale. :)

Definitely in for the Jack packs and maybe Stacking and Apples.
 
[quote name='steelcurtain11']What exactly is Costume Quest like? I heard people just say it's good but never heard anyone talk about gameplay[/QUOTE]

Roundbased RPG and a good one =D get the demo and see for yourself ^^ probably no way this game can disappoint someone =P
 
[quote name='utopianmachine']Good to know. Too bad my dad can't get Joe Danger for 600. I sure wish we had a gifting program on Xbox.[/QUOTE]

Several CAGs are trading codes for Joe Danger over in the trading forum. You can probably score a good deal on a code and give it to him.

I bought the game the week it came out and never played a minute of it. :cry:
