[quote name='emwearz']Is the Sales and Specials+ App exclusive to the states? I can find the page via a download search, but I there is no download button.[/QUOTE]

I was helping a friend find it the other day and neither of us could find it in the apps section. Had to go to the games tab where it was one of the center scrolling ads. And the fastest way to access it after download is to use quickplay every day. Me and friend are both USA so ymmv. But we both thought it strange that the app isn't in apps.
 
Pretty sure the beta is fucking up some things I can't get anymore...there also should be a free episode of fringe over here can't find it anywhere...same for deals of the week section and some others meh

(and don't forget the free paranorman prop also not available during beta) doublemeh..

And yes chain reaction of the sales app was fixed last time with the 2 gearss season pass items..this week it doesn't recognize anything since beta lol..

And NO compilation disc don't work as I said ealier...sadly..well maybe there will be another 100 MB update to fix the chain reaction..again..
 
I own Uno from purchase, not disk, and I'm not on the beta dash. I also own Carcassonne, but 2,3, and 4 are all locked and as stated above when I click on Uno I get "sorry, this offer is currently unavailable."
 
[quote name='yamayama']Sorry if this has been posted already but it's a worthy cause so it's ok.

Not a deal exactly but as someone who has had a family member that has had to deal with this, this is a BIG DEAL to me.

Buy Jeremy McGrath's Offroad and help the National Marrow Donor Program bone marrow charity. http://www.oxmonline.com/jeremy-mcgrath-donate-his-game-earnings-bone-marrow-charity

I'll definitely be buying this to help a worthy cause. When NIN2-Jump came out, Cave did something similar and donated to disaster victims in Japan. There was also another music game (I forgot the name) that did something similar as well.[/QUOTE]

I was on the fence with this game. Kinda like a not-as-well-done version of dirt. But after seeing this I think I'll buy it. I always find it cool when people do this. Thanks for posting

Here's my Jeremy McGrath's Offroad review if anyone's interested. It is indeed pretty good. Also, I have an interview with the developers coming up soon at XBLA Fans.

Thanks for the heads up. It really does sound like something I'm wanting to play right now,simple and fun. No split screen is a bit of a wtf,then again most dirt games didn't have it either,so oh well.

Edit: I own UNO as well and it won't let me in on the chain reaction offer either.

August Xbox Live Rewards Monthly Featured Offer:

Get 240 MSP back when you spend 1,600 or more in August on sports-related Arcade Games, Game Add-ons or Games on Demand.

Hopefully Jeremy McGrath's Offroad counts. Of course I'll still be getting it either way though. :)

They haven't posted a list yet but when they do it should be here.

[quote name='yamayama']There was also another music game (I forgot the name) that did something similar as well.[/QUOTE]

It was called Chime and it was more of a puzzle game, although it did revolve around music.
 
[quote name='Spylon']Can you guys start using spoilers, some of us have limbo but have not passed it.[/QUOTE]

Limbo, is almost like a movie, it has to be played from start to finish. Atleast that's how I felt with it, then again I admit I was in a zone with that game trying to 200/200 it. It's kind of a bit of a story but I completed it on my 3rd run, after dying too many times on the end of the 2nd, all the while playing through each game in one sitting. So 3 different sittings, 3 different runs through the game.

Crazy experiences with that game for me, psychologically and physically haha.

Aw dangit ... I bought the "Kinect Sports Season Two" basketball addon for 200 MSP yesterday (Tues, July 31st). I can only hope I did it after 5pm PDT (midnight UTC) so that it counts in August. And the billing site says it's 7/31 as well. Grrrrr ...

BTW, the OP is updated with the S&S+ app discounts, but don't bother with the "Chain Reaction" because it's seriously bork'd.
 
[quote name='Sath666']New tables for Pinball Arcade are released:

http://marketplace.xbox.com/en-US/P...af565ec-895d-480c-8327-9b96403eb3c0?cid=SLink

http://marketplace.xbox.com/en-US/P...81e500b-9d10-4c47-96c0-d3e6832a2f47?cid=SLink

I got the retail Williams Pinball Collection. Are there any differences compared to Pinball Arcade?[/QUOTE]

Boo-yah!!! Thanks for adding this! Downloading these now. Cirqus Voltaire is fan-freaking tastic.

2 tables are already on the disc, Funhouse and Medieval Madness. They should of made the new tables (Bride & Cirqus) bundled together so those that already have the disc, don't have to double dip.

Buying these regardless so hopefully we can see Twilight Zone, Monster Bash and others come down the pipe soon.

Thanks. May be the right month to break down and buy MLB Bobblehead Pros, at least I'll get something back. Though I'd need to find another sports game I want to make to make it work.

For anyone thinking about picking up Deadlight. I completed the game with 85% of the collectables in 2:01:57. Quite short but the experience is well worth it. Great story arc and finale.

Looks like all Pinball games for me. I have to support them, so there be more tables available in future. I didn't know pinball was a sport. Oh well
 
Anyone want to spoil the story of Deadlight for me? I know I'll never play it but I'm curious about the twist ending that a few reviews have mentioned.

Is MLB Power Pros out on the 360? Please tell me that it is (or will be). I would love to play that game again. After doing a quick search, I can only find a Wii and PS2 version.

I'm sorry, it's called MLB Bobblehead Pros. It's a lot like Power Pros though, just with actual MLB players in bobblehead form.

Also, thanks for posting that list Yama. I recommended the MLB Bobblehead games on their board since they weren't listed, I saw you recommended the Jeremy McGrath game as well.

I disagree, the only good portion of the gameplay happens in the first 20-30 mins.

The story is well done but it's not worth 1200 points.

400 I could tell people to give a chance.

Hard to judge value and price when you get it for free. A bias none the less.

The game is well done throughout. The only time there was a lul was during the PoP style challenge with The Rat.

Finish the game btw. The collectible locations were excellent. Only a handful made it past my first run through. A few even during my 2nd run through of a specific section.

I mean to say finish the game 100% :)

how can live 13 be on the list? can you preorder the GOD or something?
 
Wow...that list is the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen. In addition to games that won't be out until September/October, it also lists games that were cancelled.

NBA ELITE 11 - NBA ELITE 11 Online Pass
Click to expand...

WTF??? lol
 
[quote name='GUNNM']Apparently bionic commando is a sport game.[/QUOTE]

It's much more of a sport game than Wing Commander Arena.
 
What do Bionic Commando, Missile Command, Command & Conquer, Commanders: Attack of the Genos, Pinball FX/Arcade, Wing Commander, Wolf of the Battlefield, TNT Racers, etc. have to do with sports? I also thought the Fire Pro Wrestling game wasn't out yet or may have even been cancelled at this point, but it counts if you have a time machine.
 
Yeah, I don't have the slightest clue what their criteria was for this list. There are a lot of shooters on there, but even a game like UFC Undisputed 3 (which has a lot of DLC) is not included.
 
They even acknowledge that their list includes free stuff like trailers and demos that don't count towards the deal, so I have no clue what they were on when they came up with that list.

"Important note: this list includes content that is both free content (i.e. trailers, demos, etc) and paid content. Only paid content found within this list is eligible."
 
Three years later, EA is still trying to sell NCAA® Basketball 09 March Madness Edition for 1200 MS. It's super easy GS, but there's no way that should still be so ridiculously overpriced.

EA is actually still selling online DLC for sports games they shut down the servers to months, or even years, ago.

Yeah I want that game for the easy GS also but damn 1200 is alot... I might just buy it though since this is probably the closest we'll ever get to a sale on it...

I would strongly advise against it no matter how much you want the easy GS. Most importantly of all, it's giving money to EA and supporting this kind of overpricing. You will regret that purchase.

Secondly, you could get 3 decent 400 MS games for the same price, which you'll likely get over 200 on even if you don't finish them.

Only reason you would possibly even consider this is if you have an endless supply of Bing points to where MS is no object.

At the end of the game you were the zombies all along.

The zombies you were running from? Also zombies.

Being a zombie is perfectly normal. There were never humans, everyone from the beginning of time was a zombie. The world just came made with all the ruins and you had a bout of dementia from eating really awful meat.

LOL I thought he might have been joking. But I don't know. I bought the game on the trading thread today, so I'll probably find out tonight.

No, that's not what happens

Also I advise everyone unless they have a large amount of disposable income NOT to get Deadlight at this price.

Read my review, watch the gameplay.
 
If RollingSkull's spoiler is fake, I'll apologize and take it all back. If true, I'll never hear from him again. On the message boards of the web, I have a zero tolerance policy about spoilers.
