ditto.

I'm not interested in any of those but it's always nice to see permanent XBLA drops.

Sweet, I may grab Pinball and Street Fighter II.

triddo. I can't recall the last time a game dropped in price that I was remotely interested in and didn't already own.

And anyone thinking about getting Brain Challenge -- DON'T!!!! It's total crap. I wanted to kick myself for buying it like an idiot when it went on week-long special.

Speaking of which, have the October deals leaked yet? Pinball was the last thing I remember knowing about ahead of time.

So any new news on that WWII CCG that never showed up?

Early October is last I heard.

Ion Assault Demo, 800, 159MB
The Warriors: Street Brawl Demo, 800, 428MB
Zombie Apocalypse Demo, 800, 341MB

Anybody try Zombie Apocalypse yet? Really interested but I won't be able to check it out for number of hours yet.

Seems fun, but could easily get repetitive; it also doesn't help I'm playing RE5 for the first time.

The Warriors had me excited with the opening theme blasting, even the voiceless "comic book art" transitions had me excited. The gameplay on the other hand is dull and clunky. It looks like 'story' mode is just going through the stages fighting random groups of the different gangs, rather than certain stages housing certain gangs. It might be fun with online, but what I played isn't going to get 800pts from me.

Man, what a shoddy game. What a shame because the Rockstar last-gen Warriors game was so amazing and so criminally neglected. Can I just have backwards compatibility for that instead? This is just ugly. And seriously -- 428 MB and you can't even get an audio clip of "Can you count, Suckas"? I had to turn that demo off. It was just too awful.

Zombie Apocalypse seemed surprisingly difficult and not at all fun. Sure it was going to pale in comparison to L4D (a game it seems to be a little bit inspired by), but this made me nostalgic for "I MAD3 A GA3M WITH ZOMBIES" -- and that can't be a good thing for an 800 point Arcade game.

Tried 3D Ultra Mini Golf demo after the price drop. Still can't quite pull the trigger. They made a huge mistake by putting that little planet hole in the demo. It's such a terrible hole with the lack of gravity and no logical way to approach it -- it really ruins the whole demo and makes me not want the game. Any one else get the game and want to convince me otherwise?

That's what turned me off it when it first came out.

Its not too bad, a fun game. Don't like the fact that theres unliminited continues so you can finish it on your first sitting. Not enough achievements, and pretty much a game I will only play co-op.

3d mini golf demo blows, I don't know how a demo completely turns you off of a 400pt game, but somehow this does.

I personally love mini golf games and this game is fun when you give it a chance there are some holes that suck and some holes that are fun. The problem is don't play online unless it's with someone you know because everyone online has each hole memorized and it's annoying playing against them.

I spent plenty of hours on Puzzle Quest, so I'm looking forward to this one.

They left a slide off of that:

Puzzle Quest x Hexic

It looks exactly the same as PQ except for the very minor change in puzzle gameplay. Still, I'll get it and I'll spend too much time on it and I'll love every minute of it.

Just got mine deposited into my account today.

I bought I MAED A GAM3 W1TH Z0MB1ES!!!1 recently and it's a hoot. I looked at it as paying $1 for the song; getting the game was gravy.

Speaking of which, Ska Studios put up the song as a free download: http://skasoftware.wordpress.com/200...0mb1es-1n-it1/


IGN's review says it's pretty repetitive: http://xboxlive.ign.com/articles/102/1027835p1.html

I may hold off on this one, hoping it goes on sale at some point.

They need to get that song on RBN.

For anyone who has not picked up the Pinball FX Earth Defense Table, here is great look at it.

Can't wait to see how well that baby sells on 360voice.com

Speaking of 360voice numbers, last week's numbers are in. Zombie Apocolypse did well with 776 first day users. The other two didn't do so well : The Warriors SB had 120 users, Ion Assault shows 36.

Might as well get the codes, even if you don't end up buying the game. Probably nothing too exclusive, but free is free.
