Well, Penny Arcade Vol 2 is up this morning for 1200 points. Not sure if Vol 1 dropped in price, but I hope so.

The MBU DLC is discribed as follows :
Refresh your Marble Blast Ultra palate for FREE with this brand new multiplayer level! BONUS: Includes one new achievement for your marble blasting pleasure. It's odd that they only list one Achievement, since three were clearly added there.

Gramps, I'll keep you in mind should I ever feel "curious".

Back on topic, I haven't played Marble Blast Ultra for ages. I'll have to fire it back up sometime. I also need to find some time for Episode 2 of Penny Arcade.

Showing you his orb wasn't enough for you to know?

This week's game was one of my favorites on the PS1 -- Vigalante 8 Arcade. It's been re-done and is Live enabled. It goes for 800 points, thankfully.

V8 was the sequel to I-76, wasn't it? Loved that game on the PC and will happily check out the V8 demo on Wednesday.

I am a huge TM Black fan. If Vigilante 8 is even remotely fun I am going to get it.

Weapon of Choice looks great, but why is Wilford Brimley in the game.

I'm still going to wait for a combo deal on all the PA adventures once they're all complete. Hoping for something like $30-40 for all.

That's my hope too. Are there only 3 episodes planned?

Also, is Vigilante 8 the only release today?

I assume there will just be 3 episodes. The intro discusses the 3 gods on the windowsills and the first game you take down one of them (the intro to the second game refers to only 2 gods being left on the windowsill). That makes me think you will eliminate god #2 in episode 2 and then episode 3 will finish up the story.

Are you sure? I checked last week after PA2 came out and PA1 was still 1600 points, which I found hard to believe since it's $14.99 on PSN.



Oh, official word came out that Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo HD will come out (finally) this month.

I'm pretty sure it was four gods in Ep. 1 and three gods in Ep. 2. I couldn't find any references to the total number of planned episodes, though.

I guess i'm remembering it poorly. Checking Wikipedia it appears there were f4 gods (and the poem is called the Quartet for the Dusk of Man). Wikipedia also states it is supposed to be a 4 game series.

The reason i thought there was a price drop on episode 1 was because the PA site mentioned something about a price drop and a combo pack or something being available. Maybe they just meant PC and not 360?
