Those are rad! I hope Konami hurries up and sends me a code already.
 
[quote name='Sath666']Tenorman's Revenge, Amy, Dead Block, The War of the Worlds? I doubt more than 3 people are interested in these. Probably that's why MS didn't bother with them.[/QUOTE]
They should have a 200 point crappy xbla game every week. My friends and I all picked up Nexuiz for 200 points...the game is pretty bad, but for 200 points, we got a few hours out of it. I'd pick up Amy for 200. That's a good "oh, why not?" price for xbla games.
 
didn't somebody on here have a running list of every xbla game that has NOT been on sale yet? i think i remember someone posting that a while ago but i would be curious to see it again. do you guys think that's something worth putting in one of the first few posts?
 
[quote name='MagmaOasis']If you haven't gotten Ilomilo from the sales and special app scratch off loser deals, i highly reccomend it.[/QUOTE]

Great game indeed, however I have yet to find this app everyone keeps talking about. For that matter I have never seen the DOTW sales since the new dashboard was rolled out. There were fairly easy to find on the old one. If it wasn't for this thread I would have no clue there were ever sales. Well I did see the big GoD sales last week but no XBLA sales.
 
I went ahead and bought Ninja Gaiden Black. It was downloading fine until it stopped and the message "can't download Ninja Gaiden Black" appeared. I tried to re-download it and it won't let me. This is the first time something like this has happened. Is anyone else having problems downloading?

There was some downtime early today. I still can't redeem codes. Try again later I guess.

missed it the last time it was on sale. picked up today loving it :) i hope micrsoft keeps putting games on sale in this special sale app.
 
[quote name='Sath666']After 325 deaths i finally beat Spelunky. What a fantastic game. For now is XBLA GOTY. :D

You can even unlock the Goddamn Meat Boy - http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/showpost.php?p=5163642&postcount=6
Played all the way with him. Currently rank 100 out of 10 000.

Gonna try to beat it without using shortcuts soon. ^^[/QUOTE]

Not bad, I'm at 421 deaths and only got to 3-1 twice lol. Haven't been using the jungle shortcut much though. Lots of fun.

Ya, I still have the list, it needs a little bit of updating but ill post it again probably Tuesday (im in Vegas at the moment). Ill PM you when I post it as well.

ninja gaiden black is a corrupt file. MS will have to reupload it to their server before you anyone will be able to download it successfully. this has been an issue for at least a week now. as far as i can tell, MS is just issuing refunds rather than fixing the problem and reuploading. I WANT THAT GAME

Frogger Hyper Arcade Championship Edition Deluxe won't let me play the Contra level !

It keeps saying Enter Secret Code and my copy didn't come with a secret code !!

Stupid Konami game . . .

Oh, is that what it was? I was getting the same error after attempting to download it like five times (around 10 GB of bandwidth, mind you) and just assumed MS was being retarded... and I guess I was right. ( ´∀`)
I think I'll just buy it from Amazon after getting a refund. I'd rather have a disc for a big retail game anyway.

I don't have Frogger, but did you try the Konami code. ;)

Grats :p Im only at about 80 deaths atm. I have been avoiding using the shortcuts thus far, but I think I might be getting close to just using it and coming back later to beat the game all in one go. That seems to make more sense then my brain telling me "NAOOOO IT MUST BE PERMA DEATH AND START FROM BEGINNING!!" >.
 
with the call of duty mw3 dlc map packs on sale for 50% off, i know they will be full price but how many other map packs are coming out?
 
[quote name='KRONUS EGGPLANT']they just announced a walking dead fps game. so looks like there will plenty of walking dead for us all[/QUOTE]

Telltale also said today they will be doing a 2nd season of their game next year since this is their highest selling game ever.
 
[quote name='killer9']It is based on darryl and merle which is pretty cool hopefully it wont be cod with zombies[/QUOTE]

I think you and I have different definitions of "pretty cool".

I'm not sure if you're serious or being sarcastic.
I don't have the game, but it's most likely: up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, B, A
You may have to experiment to see what B and A are on the xbox controller.
 
[quote name='Sath666']Anyone going for this week PlayXBLA cheeve challenge?

http://playxbla.com/weekend-cheeve-challenge-9/

Damn, always i have two out three games that they list. I refuse to buy this crappy Bloodforge game lol.[/QUOTE]

I could definately get two in Spelunky, but I'd rather not play Bloodforge and I'm not really inclined to shelling out 1200 for a game I have already played multiple times on the PC. But well, if I actually went ahead and played Bloodforge, I could probably get my investment back, if I played Portal... Meh, I think I'll just pass.
 
Bloodforge is due for a patch to fix the camera and difficulty issues, and I'm not playing it any further till then. As for the rest of the challenge... I wouldn't have the time for the Spelunky ones anyway.

LOL i heard this 3 months ago. Probably won't happen.
 
[quote name='Sath666']LOL i heard this 3 months ago. Probably won't happen.[/QUOTE]

I've been in contact with the devs and it's definitely coming. The certification process for patches can be very time-consuming though.
 
I'm resigned to the fact that there's a very low chance I'll ever have all 3 games for any given achievement challenge, that that even if I did, I wouldn't be bothered to complete even one of the crazy achievements they always call for, let alone 7.
 
I hate that Tecmo messes up the NGB save files regularly. I don't WANT to have to replay the game on Normal every six months if I want to do Hard or the challenge maps.

Here's the other thing. You have no idea what codes you might get. Could be two games you have or ones that are nearly worthless for trading. Is it worth your time and points to buy and play games you don't care about to earn codes for games you possibly have or don't care about?
 
[quote name='Bramblefang']GoD Deal of the Day: Battlefield: Bad Co. - $9.99/800MSP (50% off)

Does anyone know if EA took down the multiplayer servers for this game?[/QUOTE]
I haven't found anything saying the servers are down as it's EA but there probably isn't a lot of activity.

Also, bloodforge is a really good game. See my sig for more information.

Man, while I enjoy these daily deals they need to be cheaper. A lot of people would grab it at say $5. Plus they need a big spot on the dashboard, you usually have to go into the deals and check daily to see if these get updated (and how many people outside of CAG will do that?).

So the servers are still up for it it looks like.

Does it count if you get the achievements before the challenge? This is the first I've seen this site and can't find the info on the site.

They'll wait till tomorrow to pull the server :)
I agree that these need to be cheaper. 10 is tempting only because they rarely go this low but after our 5 dollar week I'm spoiled.

Yep, doesn't matter when you get them.

Nah, they promise at least a 30 day notification in advance. 'cause they're just that nice, you know... ...
 
Any of you guys know the best contact for arcade issues on Live? It's actually really starting to bug me that Skullgirls is being misrepresented on the "800 points or less" page since I would buy it at 800. They need to fix the price or take it off the page.
 
They did the same thing with Monday night combat last month. Patience young grasshopper.

Or tweet major nelson or Xbox support or something.

Wow. I finally have 2 of the 3 games this time. I'll have to try out the trial for Bloodforge.

I finally beat Spelunky without using any shortcuts after 101 deaths! Currently working on the 'To Hell and Back' achievement. So that'll leave just 1 Bloodforge achievement I'll need.

Tweeting Major Nelson usually gets one nowhere, Xbox support is pretty reliable though.
