    I'd love some opinions on Trials HD, Shadow Complex and Braid. None of the trials really grabbed my attention.

    They're three of the best games on the platform tbh, you really have no excuse not to own all three unless of course you already have Trials 2 or Braid on the PC. :)

    Braid is excellent. A really original and beautiful puzzle game. I played Trials and thought it was over-rated, but that might just be my taste. What I do recommend is Final fight (You get Magic Sword with it free) and Super street fighter 2 Turbo HD Remix.

    I actually picked up a few microsoft points today for that exact reason. I've been waiting a while for Super Street Fighter 2 and Final Fight to drop in price a bit. Looking forward to downloading them and having a nice retro night :D

    Not re-typing, but here's what I had to say about MNC http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=71673728&postcount=2172

    I've been playing it since launch day, almost daily, and stopped about a month ago. It's stupidly fun, but you're silly if you buy it on Xbox over PC. The remaining community are mostly a-holes, and the learning curve is HUGE. Said remaining members like to stomp newbies in games, rather than helping them learn.

    That said, if you DO buy it on Xbox, I'll tell you everything I know.

    Yeah, it's sad... game had so much potential. As much as the devs denied it getting the Valve treatment, it's the same as TF2. PC version released at Christmas, and it's already leagues ahead of the console version. Pick it up during a sale. I got it for €8/9 a few weeks ago. And again, if you do get it, PM me. I'll explain l337 techniques to you

    With the amount of sales that have been on since xmas / deals of the week, and the amount of things I have gotten cheaper that way, my €35 gold sub is paying for itself really :)

    Yep. Still a bit annoyed that PvZ is only 800. I think that should have been the original price, but, I really want to play it on Xbox instead of DS... :o

    Annoying that 1200 seems to be the norm these days for a lot of things. PvZ seems packed with stuff though from what I played of the demo just there.

    Just wondering if Popcap Hits Vol. 2 on disc would be better value for money as PvZ is on it and I could trade it away later :confused:

    It's about €20 on zavvi at the moment.
