I just spent 2000 points on A World of Keflings, Costume Quest, Faery, and Raskulls.

Is anyone else getting repeated errors when trying to search the XBL Marketplace on the computer?

I've been waiting for a sale on both Costume Quest and Faery. Refresh my memory: were they both 1200 points before now?

BTW, just played Snoopy over the weekend for the first time after buying that on sale way back when. That means I should be ready for some Serious Sam II action by June.

Hey, superfro, do you happen to recall what your impressions were of Alien Breed 1 & 2? I remember sort of liking the first demo. Would it make sense to just pick up the second one of the series, or would there be any compelling reason to tackle the first one first?

Seriously, this game is SO frustrating. It's so close to being great, and where it misses isn't because of bad graphics or crappy controls, it's because the programmers wanted to be total dicks and make the game super-hard for no reason.
Give Super Meat Boy credit -- it prides itself in being super-hard and finishing the demo is tough -- in short you know what you're getting into.. Comic Jumper, on the other hand, gives you a very fun, funny and eminently playable demo that totally tricks you into thinking the game will be an enjoyable romp. It ain't.

For the record, I'm still not getting it at 400 points.

Yes! Finally I can fulfill one of my greatest wishes -- to get my avatar to break dance while dressed as a Wookie for under $4 total.
Any thoughts on 3D Ultra Minigolf Adventures 2? The demo for the first was so god-awful that I never even tried the demo for the second one, maybe I should. Did anyone pick up Faery yet? (miyu, I'm looking at you) I might get that one for my daughter, if it's enjoyable enough for her.
Hey, this is some sort of a record -- I only already own 3 of those 17 games on XBLA (though I do have Gyromancer and Defense Grid on Steam, Costume Quest on PSN and Unbound Legacy on the PSP -- at least all those were already purchased on discounts of 50% or more). Yay Frugality!!!

I have not grabbed it yet though. The demo seemed mildly interesting but I seem to recall some reviews complaining about the controls. My backlog though is so absurd now I kind of feel dumb considering it since I am in the middle of both BG&E and Costume Quest with my daughter.I kind of wish the Costume Quest DLC had went on sale as well.
What is Unbound Legacy? I don't remember that one at all.

It's crappy. Comic book styled side scrolling beat em up, so clearly inspired by Comix Zone. Just boring and repetitive, not fun. Two player co-op online and local. Probably worth $2 if you just love the genre, though.

I will probably pick up Doom II at 400 space bucks (I certainly got my money's worth with the first Doom on XBLA). I tried out 3d Ultra Golf and Costume Quest. The golf game flat out sucked (my opinion) and Costume Quest seemed awfully cute but I just wasn't feeling it enough to buy it.
Edit: On the April Fools sale, Fable 3 DLC is tempting but I will probably just wait for the eventual Platinum disc version that includes all of the DLC. Since I like to collect all things Fable
