Same. I think they work really well for those type of games too, because they get people playing and make it easy for people to impulse buy the full game.

I only played the original Halo, I guess that's an easy way for me to give the series a try again.

Re: The official Xbox Live Arcade/Indie Games/Game Room Thread of Space Bucks for Fun
quick question, I apparently hadn't realized that my maxed out 3 years of gold came to a close tomorrow. I just got an email saying that they are auto-renewing at the one month rate of $9.99. The transaction is currently pending.
Is there a way to cancel this? Or if I input one of my many stock-piled year long gold codes, will that abort the 9.99 charge?

This happened to me. I think it's too late. From what they told me, their system uses another time zone that's already timed to the next day. The only hope is if your credit card gets declined.

It will be ironic if it's the X1, Ryse the main candidate of course.

Assuming you specifically decide to go Gold for this it would be $2.50/game. Not bad.

They really need to just toss Ryse in the box of every system.

Shocktober Sale.
Not very much, but Ghostbusters: The Video Game ($7.49) and The Walking Dead: 400 Days ($2.49) are priced well.

XBLA fan website XBLAfans.com is ranking their Top 25 XBLA games this week. XBLA.
25-21
25. Pinball FX2 - 88
24. Magic the Gathering: Duels of the Planeswalkers - 75/75/80/83
23. Toy Soldiers: Cold War - 81
22. 'Splosion Man - 84
21. Call of Juarez: Gunslinger - 76
20-16
20. State of Decay -78
19. Super Meat Boy - 90
18. Monday Night Combat - 79
17. Gotham City Impostors - 71
16. Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light - 85
15-11
15. Trials Evolution - 90
14. Dust: An Elysian Tail - 83
13. Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved/Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved 2 - 86/90
12. Orcs Must Die! - 79
11. Fez - 89
10-6
10. 1 vs. 100 - TBD
9. Battlefield 1943 - 83
8. Shadow Complex - 88
7. Limbo - 90
6. Mark of the Ninja - 90
Their Top 5 will be up later today. However it shakes out, some really well-regarded games will be left out in the cold:
Bastion
Bionic Commando: Rearmed
Braid
Castle Crashers
Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon
Minecraft
Pac-Man CE/Pac-Man CE DX+
Peggle
Plants vs. Zombies
Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords
Spelunky
The Walking Dead
amongst others. . .
I would have to think Castle Crashers, Minecraft, and Walking Dead are locks. But if the Pac-Man CEs don't make it, someone's getting a beating.
5. Minecraft - 82
4. Braid - 93
3. Bastion - 86
2. The Walking Dead - 79 (episode one)/92 (series)
