[PuppetDoctor]

I thought that Braid was an Arcades Classic and was already 800MSP since it got an official price drop. YES finally Castlevania Symphony of the Night is going to be on sale. I have been waiting for it to go on sale.

Thank you for posting this.

Edit: Oh, sweet Mass Effect 2 DLC comes out on June 15th (I will wait for reviews first). So much good stuff is happening today. I get SMG2 in the mail and RDR rental a day early in the mail. Wowzers!

 

[eataburger]

Panzer General = WOOT!

(I already have everything else on that list that I want)

 

[icp_00_111]

Everybody should get Bomberman Live, it is amazing!! Great prices, I am confused at the braid price as well.

 

[kyle071785]

so I'll be picking up TMNT: Turtles in Time on the 13th as the DotW for $5

now I'll be getting Banjo-Tooie and Bomberman as well...this'll be a good week

I'd also recommend Kingdom for Keflings for anyone who wants a nice relaxing game. Its a tad tedious at times but its such simple fun that you'll easily get 5+ hours out of. Great family game as well

 

[stevo1002]

Finally TMNT for less than $5! Plus Banjoo Tooie, sweet! Thanks for the post!

 

[coryhdollar]

Thanks OP!

 

[Bargain Hunter Bob]

Wow, some great deals! Kinda pissed though too, within last month have bought TMNT 89 Arcade, Bomberman, AND Zombie Apocalypse, but they were all worth the prices I paid for them too, so I won't complain too much.

 

[willynateDgreat]

Would "Keflings" be okay for a 5 year-old to play . . . difficulty-wise that is?

 

[Alexisonfire]

That is a lot of savings.

I approve.

Have you checked Super Store or Wal-Mart? Konami Classics Vol. 1 is only $10. It comes with Castlevania SotN, Super Contra and Frogger.

I think there is a demo you could try out for it.

 

[brarstar]

Finally going to pick up Trials HD

[quote name='willynateDgreat']Would "Keflings" be okay for a 5 year-old to play . . . difficulty-wise that is?[/QUOTE]

as long as the kid has some reading skills it should be manageable. In the game you essentially build up your "city" area and oftentimes in order to build a specific building you need to contribute specific things to it.

definitely try the demo as an above person mentioned

 

[kyle071785]

[quote name='brarstar']Finally going to pick up Trials HD[/QUOTE]

trials was such a letdown for me. The beginner to medium challenges were fun to mess around with but anything above those levels were too tedious for my taste. When a game becomes more aggravating than fun, thats when i draw the line on it.

 

[Survivalism]

Ugh, I paid $15 for Castlevania.

 

[ThunderCloud]

Bomberman Live sequel is coming out end of this year btw.

Edit: Or maybe it's vapourware! Nevermind.

Thank you for the tip but I already own Castlvania Symphony of the Night for the PSX (original disc version). I just want to have a digital download version for convenience. Hence why I was waiting for a price drop.

 

[ragnar14]

Plus 400 MS points is cheaper than $10 (even if you paid retail for points) Also the last time that was mentioned I checked Wal-Mart and found nothing. So searching is YMMV. Of course I specifically want the physical Konami Classics version, so I guess I'm off to Superstore. Thanks for mentioning that Ducksoda

I felt the same way. Loved it at the begining but haven't touched it since I beat the medium levels.

It's nice to see MS doing actual decent sales. The 1 game on sale per week was always kind of lame especially compared to the awesome Steam sales we get all the time.

 

[Princess Zelda]

It's started.

 

[Eoyote]

Nice to see that they also allowed Silver members to take part in this sale. Was finally able to dump my last 300 points on TMNT 1989...although I don't remember it being this bad of a quarter munching bastard!

 

[ThunderCloud]

I'm interested in n+, alien hominid, and maybe bomberman live.

Offline multiplayer ftw.

That game is awesome. Its pretty much the best TMNT game there is, aside from maybe Turtles in Time (The original though, the arcade game is still better than Re-shelled)
