According to Major Nelson, Scott Pilgrim is on sale this week for 400 points.

A game worth the 800 points I paid for it.

I am (mostly) obligated to buy a game with faeries in it.

I'm also buying Guwange, so both games for me this week (unless the above game is crappy).

Ugh, might be coerced into getting that Scott Pilgrim game too on sale.

Do you know anything about the Faery game? Typically I would have to jump on anything with the Other Crowd in it as well.

The Faery game appears to be a turn-based RPG. Could be good -- at the very least it's worth downloading the demo since that's a pretty sparce genre on XBLA.

Dang nab it, me 3. I did it on Halloween night. Though, this is one case where I don't feel so bad about it. A game that completely rips off my favorite game on the planet (River City Ransom) is certainly worth the $10 spacebucks asking price.

Interesting, I could definitely go for a good SRPG.

edit: And just so folks don't think I'm lazy - I posted my earlier question when I was at work and the filters blocked the Youtube link so I didn't know a trailer was included in the post. Watching it now... it does look intriguing.

So, I finally got my first 100% achievement with Plants vs Zombies. Aren't you all proud?

Sounds like the Indie Games are getting moved out of the Specialty Stores location. Woo!

http://forums.create.msdn.com/forums/t/65717.aspx

·The Move of the Indie Games channel to Specialty Stores: We’ve definitely seen a lot of feedback here as well. The intent was to provide a special destination for Xbox LIVE Indie Game developers and not to “bury” it as some have suggested it. We are constantly striving to make sure we are optimizing the experience for our users and developers across the entire marketplace - Indies included. Based on the strong feedback from all of you however, we are in the process of moving the channel back. You should already see this process underway being reflected on your consoles.

Easy and short.


Also helps that it's on XBLA. I think my general laziness in putting a disc back in after I've beaten a game has kept me from doing it on other games that I originally intended to.

Welp, I did buy the disc version a couple of weeks ago. Of course then after I cataloged it, I promptly put it back on the shelf. I should have kept it near the tv, and now I don't know when I'll get back to it

Actually, I'd like to add you to my Friends list so that I can see what your Leaderboard house looks like now.

I think the only 100% game I have is Monkey Island 1. Thankfully, I don't really care about Achievements.

I've never even looked at that, I better go buy a better house. I saw pinata beat my survival mode, though I basically quit once I got to 40.

It's been a few weeks, so of course it's almost time for another Radiangames release.

Your house is made from the Achievements you've acquired, so you already had one, you just didn't know it.

BTW, there's a space in your Gamertag. Submitted like that above doesn't allow a Friend request. I checked Pinata's Friends list to correct the error.
