Nice, thanks for the heads-up, Decker. Laziness has kept me from picking up Outland, but the 400 points sitting in my account have officially gone its way.

I've been meaning to get around to Outland as well and noticed it being on sale earlier today so I went ahead and got it.

Anyone else having this problem?

The One Day Sale items are slowly revealing themselves.
Torchlight 400 (67% off)
Serious Sam Second Encounter 400 (67% off)
Hydrophobia 240 (70% off)
Path Of Go 200 (50% off)

I think I'm getting Torchlight and Serious Sam 2nd though I own both on Steam. Those prices are too good to pass up. Feel no need to double up on Hydrophobia though.

Wow, that's pretty cheap for Hydrophobia. Anyone play it after the massive update that came out? Did it get any better?

So, uh, Torchlight for 400... worth buying sight unseen? How heavy is the RPG vs. Action?

I had been waiting on a sale for Torchlight, so I grabbed it. Definitely seems worth 400 points so far. It's basically Diablo with cartoonish graphics, if you've ever played that.

Let me know if you decide to get it. There's some kind of "Gift a Friend" option on the main menu that I can send you that gives your new character some (probably worthless?) bonus.

I finally got Trials HD. Was a steal for 600 points. Are the add-ons for it worth it?

Yes, yes, yes. A thousand times yes. It's an action heavy RPG. Light on story. Diablo like. Really fun. Tons of loot. Would have been awesome with multiplayer, but still a ton of fun. Had no qualms about re-buying the 360 verstion though I've played my Steam copy to death. Like the 360 control a lot. They did a great job of integrating the new control set-up -- almost like a different game now since you're more actively fighting baddies instead of just clicking on them.

I'd pass. New improved Trials game is mere weeks away now.

Never played Diablo, but the unanimous praise for Torchlight has me intrigued, especially at this price.

You could try the demo so it wouldn't be sight unseen, right?

Yeah, Torchlight is a gimme at that price. I bought it at 800 and I got my money's worth in spades. Finally got the last achievement about a week or so ago (Fame) which will take you sometime after you finish the main game. Gift a friend is a cool option if you have an Xbox friend that has a ton of coin and some luck on the magic end on his character and can really pimp out an item or two. You should see my rifle...it has been enchanted about 20, 25 times and could probably stop a freight train.

Oh, I thought this was the weekly sale that ends next Monday night. Is this a separate deal?

Weird. Pretty sure it was sale Tuesday too when I bought Outland from the Dashboard.
