I'm wishing I would have saved my money on Joe Danger for Trials...

IGN gives Blood Forge a 4.0

I was looking forward to that one.

I'm sort of glad there's at least a week when I don't feel compelled to buy an XBLA game at full price.
Also feel better about lack of a rebate during this promotion.

Looks like toy soldiers is getting some DLC.

We’re excited to announce that on Tuesday, April 24th, the original Xbox LIVEŽ Arcade smash hit Toy Soldiers is coming to PC for the very first time via Steam and Games for Windows LIVE Marketplace! Additionally, on Wednesday, April 25th, Toy Soldiers: Cold War will be back in full force with two brand-new Xbox LIVEŽ Arcade DLC add-ons: “Evil Empire” and “Napalm”.

Yeah, that's rather Meh. Hey, have they done a sale for Guardian Heroes anytime recently? That was the only one I was waiting for a sale on.

I tried the demo of Haunt when it came out. Really liked the Kinect integration of the flashlight to illuminate dark halls. The walking mechanic worked decently as well. The ghost-fighting mechanic was pretty lame, of course. My son did love the demo, though. I might spring for it; for $5 it might be nice to have a reason to (however briefly) shake some dust off the Kinect.

Ok, so it seems the titles I posted earlier aren't part of the "official" DotW or even announced anywhere. Here's the official list:

I just glanced at that list and thought it said "MineSWEEPER 1600 points" and thought that they had finally gone crazy. I was assuming Solitaire was coming next month.

Has anyone's XBL rewards account updated with the 300 points (pending or otherwise) from last month's triple play promotion? I just want to know if I didn't meet the requirements or if they just haven't disbursed yet. I ask because the February 5% rebate was instant so I expected this to be too.

Fable Heroes is getting killed in reviews. 5.0 in IGN, 3.5/10.0 from Destructiod, 1.5/5 from Joystiq and a 57 Metacritic score. It's a shame because this game looked like it was going to be fun and was one of the cornerstones of their current "Arcade Next" promotion. I love Fable, so I'll still give the demo a try, but I'm not too optimistic.
