[TeaBisquit]

Cool! I was just about to buy the Metro 2033 Ranger DLC at regular price.

 

[PapaLau]

Add Alan Wake: American Nightmare 600MSP

Thanks for the post too!

 

[jeffx]

Great, I just bought Raskulls (happy with it)

Might consider AW: american nightmare, but I havne't even played the first...

That's actually part of the (Gold exclusive) Deal of the Week, and is not part of the Back to School Sale. Thanks, anyway.

 

[dotCody]

Porsche pack worth it?

 

[krashhole]

[quote name='dotCody']Porsche pack worth it?[/QUOTE]If you like Porsche. I never cared for the Porsche cars in any of the Forza games, and I have played them all.

 

[MasaTFC]

[quote name='dotCody']Porsche pack worth it?[/QUOTE]

well in terms of this sale, sure. But there are hundreds of other cars in the regular game to satisfy your need. That is unless you are a Porsche nerd like myself. The 06 911 turbo i have in 3 in fricking boss. But I wouldn't go buying any dlc just to recreate it.

 

[Hyunkel]

Will definitely buy Limbo and Alan Wake!

 

[honkyjesus]

[quote name='draven1089']Bloodforge looks good, anyone play it?[/QUOTE]


It looks good, the trial is good for a bit... and then it really sinks in how average at best the game is. I just played the demo, and it was fun and freaky for about ninety seconds.

I am mainly looking at Warp (loved the trial), Alan Wake's American Nightmare and Stacking.

Cue the nostalgia.

 

[Mr.]

[quote name='TeaBisquit']300-Stacking[/QUOTE] Stacking is worth it. I bought it last time it was on sale, but it wasn't this deep. It's an easy game, but it has a lot of style.

[quote name='IceBlueShoes']Tempted to pick up the Simpsons... hmm...[/QUOTE] I dropped way more money into that machine at Chuck-E-Cheese than this $4 sale price.

 

[xXTwilightXx]

Simpsons for 400 why not

 

[Hell104]

i just went and grabbed the simpsons game, ah the memories

 

[IceBlueShoes]

Does anyone still actually play Simpsons?
I know a few people still play X-Men but TMNT is really quiet...

 

[Korahn]

I play Simpsons every now and then when I'm in the mood for an arcade beat-em-up. Never got the X-Men one as it never interested me. TMNT and Simpsons were the ones I played constantly when I was a kid, so I HAD to get those.

 

[kburns10]

Same as above poster. If I'm in the mood I'll play Simpsons now and then. I'm hoping more friends buy it during the sale so I can play again.

 

[StryderOmega]

Picked up Raskulls, both sonics, and Simpsons with this sale. Still debating if I should get Sam and Max as well as Joe Danger

If you like adventure games, Sam and Max are a must

New 1 Day Deal is the Forza 4 Season Pass for 1200 MS Points

[/QUOTE]

Hmmm ... this doesn't include the "Porsche Expansion Pack", does it?

"Forza 4" has some weird stuff going on. There is this "Season Pass", and also the "VIP Membership" ... both offer different DLC and/or discounts.

I may just wait for a GotY edition ... but that isn't a bad price if you like all the DLC that comes with it.
