Not exactly anyone.

Well, crap. I don't own that. I'd heard some bad things about this game, but at that price, On Demand, it's tempting...

Kedrix

Hopefully they will cut the price too. Heck, just make it free at this point.

Don't do it!

The Pinball Arcade DLC is also out the week of the 28th, but Microsoft can't be bothered with that.

I liked Counter Strike:GO enough from the trial to get the full game. I hadn't used any points on this years summer of arcade so I went with it instead. I hadn't played any of the CS games before but I like the old school feel of this one. I also like you can play offline vs bots since i am pretty useless online with shooters

Metal Gear Solid HD collection games on demand is only $25

http://marketplace.xbox.com/en-US/Pr...5-d8024b4e0840

Which is actually cheaper than what Amazon is selling for $40

Matt

The disc version contains MGS: Peace Walker. The GoD version doesn't. I don't know why, but that's probably important to some folks.

Boba Fett

Peace Walker is a pretty deep game and has multiplayer.

Matt

There you go.

(Just for the record, my saying "I don't know why" was regarding why Peace Walker wasn't included in the GoD version--not "I don't know why Peace Walker is important to some folks.")

I'm well aware that Cacom's greed is legendary when it comes to fighting games, but even so, the $20 price point of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure HD is sorta shocking. Now, it's a game I readily admit I have no familiarity with, but it looks awful and blurry and plays terrible (at least compared to modern fighters). I seriously can't imagine any but a handful of the most dedicated fighting game fans plunking down. 1600 points on this one.

Yeah, I got the Dreamcast version of JoJo back in the day for $20, and it's a decent enough fighting game, but $20 now for a download game (and it's "HD" is laughable - I played the demo, and it's not at all HD), even though you can play it online, is a joke.

Bleh, I'll just stick with my dreamcast copy. I really wish I bought the dreamcast arcade joysticks...

JoJo's $20 is a further slap in the face after I've been playing the remarkable Dust game, which is a pretty huge game, all new and in actual HD for only $15.

Decker

I think Dust is the best XBLA game since Shadow Complex. It's actually better and longer than many full retail releases. The fact that one single guy made that whole game (except music and voice talent) is mind boggling. Then when you find that this one guy was an artist had no experience ever in programming is astonishing. Check out this video.

I want that.

MGS: Peace Walker has now been released separately for Games on Demand for $20/1600.

tlwizard

I assume the answer is no, but does anyone know if, when Windows 8 hits with the new Windows games marketplace, if you unlock the game on your windows machine if it will also unlock for the 360?
