50% off isn't bad for a game that was released less than 2 months ago. Downloading it now.

NBA Jam On Fire is a pretty fun game for that little money (though the rosters are out of date and the game did go free on PS Plus before- so make sure you don't already own it if your a PS Plus member). Stay FAR AWAY for NHL 3-On-3. Terrible game. Blitz is alright I guess (and another former PS Plus freebie).
FIFA Street was a full retail game, but it's not really my thing. Good price though. There's a demo for it.

Was NBA Jam on Fire the sequel? I bought the disc version of nba jam for the 360 and it was a terrible game to collect achievements for...

I actually liked 3 on 3 NHL but I also liked playing nhl open ice at the arcade. NBA Jam is arcade basketball that is decent with a few friends. I still remember playing NBA on NBC Showtime on the dreamcast with 4 people. It was a blast. None of the games are worth playing by yourself though.

On Fire wasn't excatly a sequel, more of a re-release on XBLA (instead of an overpriced disc-based game) with a few tweaks.

I hate that 3-on-3 doesn't even have team names (or colors). Feels shoddy in my opinion. I guess for just over a buck it might be fun as a video equivalent to an air hockey table. That reminds me : I still have to try the NHL 14 I bought for $15 last week on PSN.

NBA Jam is solid for that price, if you like basketball. Can't comment on the others.

For the record, Midnight Club LA is the Compete Edition, even though it doesn't say so in the description.

I've had $5.xx sitting in my account for months; may have to grab Brothers--by many accounts, the best XBLA game of the year.

Gamblor - thanks for the 'splosion code!
And thanks to the thread for the heads up on the NCAA 14 deal (and MC)...more to add to the virtual pile of shame.

Re: The official Xbox Live Arcade/Indie Games/Game Room Thread of Space Bucks for Fun

Man looks like I might be getting quite a bit from this latest group of games.

XBLA:

For sure: unless said otherwise to avoid
Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons ~ $4.94 ($14.99)
Deadlight ~ $4.94 ($14.99)
Feeding Frenzy 2 ~ $0.99 ($9.99)
*Peggle Nights ~ $0.99 ($4.99)
The Wolf Among Us: Episode 1 ~ FREE ($4.99)
I Am Alive ~ $4.94 ($14.99)

On the fence, anyone have thoughts please share thx
Charlie Murder ~ $3.29 ($9.99) 78(Metacritic)
Flashback HD ~ $3.29 ($9.99) looks a bit like Shadow Complex? only 50(MC)
Gotham City Impostors ~ $4.94 ($14.99) 71(MC)
Mars: War Logs ~ $4.99 ($9.99) (DOTW) looks incredible(any good?) 61(MC)

For the most part, unless it is at least 66% off staying away since it will almost for certain be cheaper sometime. Between what I have already and what I plan on getting here there is no need it seems to get even more

Looks like it is finally time to spend a bunch of my points dollars from the 1200-points-for-$5 deal from earlier this year.
