downloading a few trails now

Healium · 29-03-2011 5:06pm

Yeah, this sale is ridiculous. I'm about to drop at least €30 into Microsoft's pocket.

Halo Wars map pack
Halo Wars game mode pack
Mirror's Edge map pack
Maybe Undead Nightmare Collection (already have UN, but it's still cheaper than buying the other 2 DLCs separately)
Costume Quest
Maybe Crazy Taxi (Heard it's a bit crap)
Unbound Saga
Raskulls
The new ME2 DLC

Healium · 29-03-2011 5:27pm

By the way, there tends to be at least one DLC on sale on the final day from the arcade titles discounted for the full week, so hold out until Friday and you might get the Costume Quest DLC for 240 etc.

Comic Jumper for 400 sounds good to me!

Azure_sky · 30-03-2011 6:31pm

I totally recommend Strain. I read on Major Nelsons blog that there will be more special offers on April fools day so might be a good idea not to spend all your points until then.

Azure_sky · 31-03-2011 5:35pm

Save your points until tomorrow. There's more massive reductions around the corner.:)
- Age of Booty 400 points (usually 800)
- Defence Grid, 400 points (usually 800)
- Lumines LIVE, 400 points (usually 800)
- Mad Tracks, 400 points (usually 800)

Unfortunately I have all the really good ones already. There's no excuse for anyone not to pick up Super street fighter HD at that price. A fantastic game. Lumines and South Park are pretty good too. Might give Schizoid ago.

dunworth1 · 31-03-2011 5:55pm

might pick up Lumines LIVE

ShadowHearth · 31-03-2011 10:07pm

I love how xbox marketplay goes the steam sale way. It really really handy for gamers! I bet developers get a good chunk of profit too.

Azure_sky · 01-04-2011 1:29pm

Half one and I've yet to see any April fools day specials on the dashboard...maybe that was the joke.

niallon · 01-04-2011 2:06pm

Age of Booty is down to 400 points so they've been reducecd, just not on the dash yet

Pedro Monscooch · 01-04-2011 7:11pm

Azure's post source is from last year. Shame as I'm only recently getting into fighting games again. As for Age Of Booty, I'm guessing its one of the permanent reductions made to a few unpopular games a few months ago.

Azure_sky · 01-04-2011 7:49pm

Crap...sorry about that. I just saw X men arcade etc reduced. Not as good as I first thought.

CMpunked · 02-04-2011 1:15am

Is worms 2 worth it?

I got the first when i first got live and still play it occasionally, but i seen that number 2 has no multiplayer?!..

DARK-KNIGHT · 02-04-2011 1:41am

is south park game any good? anyone have the full game?

Gunmonkey · 02-04-2011 1:41am

Just gave Worms 2 a boot, seems to have both Local and Online MP. I think the little indicators on the games for "Online" and "Co-op" are bugged on XBLA.

it has multiplayer, worms 2 is excellent, the battle pack DLC is cheap too

Yes, it's a fun tower defence game. Well worth it and lots of bonus clips from the show too.

Lordhogo · 04-04-2011 7:25pm

Got Raskulls yesterday and would highly reccomend it to anyone. Seems like there is plenty to do in it and should last a good while so definetley worth the 400 points. I would nearly call it a hybrid of sonic and mario kart the way the racing is done.

Korvanica · 05-04-2011 2:55pm

can anyone recommend a game with 4 player local mutiplayer thats loads of fun (and that is NOT worms, because playing worms on a console is bollox, pc all the way.... )

quick mindless fun. similar to 3v3 NHL arcade or fusion frenzy etc...

Mr Freeze · 05-04-2011 3:16pm

Quick mindless fun + local multiplayer = Bomberman Live

ChickenBalls · 05-04-2011 3:44pm

This weeks DOTW out now!

http://marketplace.xbox.com/en-IE/Promotion/dealoftheweek

Its Battlefield.

There's a Spring Fling coming up week after next with lots of deals including Fifa 11, Plants Vs Zombies, Dance Central Add-ons etc.... should be something for everybody.

Raskulls looks like a fun one, but I doubt you bought it on sale last week?

PvZ better be no more than 600. I absolutely love that game, but it should have been 800 originally, not 1200. As badly as I want it, I won't be buying it if it's only reduced to 800

ChickenBalls · 06-04-2011 11:14am

FYI - Next weeks deals are all Capcom - Street Fighter etc... 50% off

CMpunked · 06-04-2011 11:48am

Got worms 2 last night, it pretty good, a decent improvement on the first.

However, no-one seems to be playing online which is a shame.

create a game and someone will play you alright. the online in Worms 2 is very active for an old arcade game. i play it most days online, its such a fun game...

Cool thanks, hmmmm

Bomberman LIVE - regular ole bomberman.

or

Bomberman Battlefest - seems to have various game modes etc

Hmm, which to choose,,,

Mr Freeze · 06-04-2011 2:03pm

Well Battlefest is the newest one, and has way more game types, and if its only local multiplayer you are going for, its probably the better option.

Online, I don't think Battlefest sold too well, so its not easy get a game usually.

Anyways, best thing to do is trial both of them and see which one you refer, definitely more content in Battlefest though.

Carosone is another good game now that I think of it, only played 2 player local matches, got great life outta it. Its like a board game where you make castles and roads with random tiles each turn.
