I'll probably pick up Bejeweled 2, but I just received an email from Popcap last week announcing Bejeweled 3 for PC so it wouldn't surprise me if it was coming to consoles next year as well.
 
[quote name='Friend of Sonic']How is NHL Arcade?[/QUOTE]

I enjoyed it, its a good party game. I like it enough that I wish I could actually gift it to a few of my friends like you can with the Wii. Definitely worth full price and a steal at 50% off. Achievements are way easy.
 
c'mon guys, you're going to make me get the NHL game now because you keep saying it's a ton of fun. I was actually on the fence about it. I haven't played the demo yet, but it does look fun. So thanks for the info on it everyone.
 
[quote name='Friend of Sonic']How is NHL Arcade?[/QUOTE]
a steal at $2.50. great party game if you and your friends are hockey nuts.

"tiny terror!"
 
[quote name='Blank Earth']Seems slightly ironic the "casual" game sale is only available to gold subscribers, who arguably are a less "casual" crowd than the silver folk.[/QUOTE]

Since when? Plenty of gold subscribers enjoy casual games.

This is the Alanis Morrisette version of irony, where just because something bad happens and you don't want it to, it's ironic. Like rain on your wedding day.

nice i hope your guesses are correct on the xbla games because those are 2 that i want but haven't picked up yet. i will be getting them on sale if that's the case!
 
damn, I loaded up on microsoft points and just tried the demo for Polar Panic...that game sucks! I haven't played a horrible game like that from xbla in a long time, saved me 400 ms points. Nothing for me this week..
 
[quote name='reddjoey']Start the week = Monday Night Combat???[/QUOTE]

good call there and i don't have that one either. all 3 for me!

Really? I tried it out and liked it, it's like old school Pengo with upgrades.
 
I'd definitely be up for Limbo, so I hope that one's right. Would pass on Monday Night Combat and Perfect Dark. Well, maybe Perfect Dark depending on the price.

if major nelson on his show was comparing it to the black friday sales then is it safe to say limbo and mnc (normally 1200) will be 400 each like trials hd was and perfect dark (normally 800) will be 160 like splosion man and greed corp? all 3 of those games for less than 1000 points is a STEAL.
 
I hate NHL Arcade. I still don't see how so many people rave about it. Maybe it is considerably more fun if you have a friend to play against, as playing the CPU and randoms onlines is not fun at all. Also really disappointed that it doesn't have the actual NHL teams, only the players.

It does have super easy achievements if that matters to you. You can get them all in about 5 games.

Possible but I doubt it. For one thing, part of his job is to hype up sales, right? Also, it's possible he didn't mean to compare quite so literally. He might just have meant that the titles on sale will be as popular, etc.
 
Updated OP thanks Chi-Town

Also, for Zune Movies (Not that we are super-concerned or excited)

Act your age, whatever that is. (-----)

Stab in the dark here, but my guess is either 17 Again or maybe Freaky Friday.

Trials HD has been out for more than a year,
and has been on sale several times before.
800, then 600, then 560, then 400.
Limbo is brand new and has not been on sale before.
People's expectations get too high and then they get disappointed.

Perfect Dark might get a big discount though.

Perfect Dark has been on sale a few times as well and you're right about the rest. I think the thread should stay on track and discuss current and following up deals rather than 'I hope this is on sale' and what not.

So when is that sale going to start?

Yeah, we would know this if the OP wasn't a lazy arrogant ass who updated every once in a while :roll:

I don't recall Perfect Dark ever being on sale.
 
[quote name='GregSal1']I don't recall Perfect Dark ever being on sale.[/QUOTE]

Yeah, I believe the closest it even got to being on sale is when people got to vote on it as an upcoming sale.

That's Kick-Ass, my favorite movie of the year.
 
[quote name='DoubleJG']I read it, reddjoey :bouncy:

Is NHL Arcade worth 200 points?[/QUOTE]

Shhhh.... :cool:


NHL is worth a look. The demo is an accurate representation of the game. If you like the demo or can get a few friends/siblings over for a game it's worth it. I have tried twice, and can't find an online game, but that was 9-10am. It's $2.50, so you aren't out much if you buy it, play it once and then never play again.

[quote name='eastx']That's Kick-Ass, my favorite movie of the year.[/QUOTE]

I asked my roommate if that fit earlier today and she said no... last time I listen to her. I'll add the guess to the OP
 
"Turn out the lights for this delight!"

Would be awesome if this was Limbo, but I'm thinking that this will be Blacklight Tango Down.
 
Just beware NHL 3 on 3 only has a limited amount of real players to pick your team from (no NHL teams even though one of the splash screens has all of the team logos) and the game has player stats/abilities from 2008 (splash screen promoting NHL 09 still appears when you exit the game.)
 
[quote name='BigPopov']just recently played Zuma on the Plants vs Zombies disc and it isn't even worth 200 (next week)[/QUOTE]I'm a Zuma fan, but a console controller just doesn't work with the game.

Perfect Dark has NEVER been on sale.

I'm *really* excited about the holiday XBLA sales and the upcoming Steam sales. My husband ordered me parts for a gaming PC last night, and I'm totally stoked about all the wonderful deals Steam runs. If Limbo is discounted for Christmas, I'm all over that one. More than likely, I'll get Perfect Dark too. Of course, those are only rumors...
