BTW : That Pac-Man Museum is currently $6.59 with Gold. Not only that, but if you paid attention to this helpful post back in February, you'll get the $4.99 Ms Pac Man game DLC for free as well.

I have some Bing credit expiring this summer, I could burn most of it out with Catherine and Killer is Dead, although who knows when I'll get to them.

For those interested in playing the game on a console, the original Syberia is back on the marketplace for $10. It's also listed as an arcade title instead of a legacy XBOX title, so a sale might be more likely in the future.

Anyone played the first episode of the Telltale Game of Thrones game? I am curious. I am on the last episode of Wolf Among Us (on the XO) and am absolutely loving it.

Hoping the GoT one is equally engaging.

I was curious if anyone has tried The Raven: Legacy Of A Master Thief since Episode 1 is free this month. I haven't really found much on it but being short on space, I was wondering if it was worth the download or not? The other two episodes seem pretty pricey at 10 bucks each.

I bought them all when they were $2.50 some months ago. It's an alright mystery in the vein of classic Sierra point-and-click adventures, with decent character designs and colorful environments. The voice acting varies, some of the connect-the-dot solutions to progress forward are a tad confusing (and often have simpler real-world solutions with the items at your disposal), and the music has some dropout issues. Wouldn't say I was disappointed with the story and sleuthing for about $7.50, but it's nothing special.

Downloaded it just to get it on my purchase history and immediately deleted it. The mediocre-at-best reviews combined with Microsoft's reluctance to even discount the other two episodes means I'll probably never touch this game.

I never ever bitch about Games with Gold but this selection sucks donkey balls. Big fat donkey balls.

Pinball FX2 and (almost) all its DLC is transferable to the One. Nothing else is. (Edit :maybe Dance Central DLC is as well). Zen had to jump through all sorts of hoops to get approval from Microsoft for that.

For anyone interested in it, After Burner Climax will be permanently delisted from XBLA and PSN on 12/24.

Last Call before you go home and Climax!

I assume $5 for Max: Curse of the Brotherhood(360) is the sale price, right? It didn't launch at $5 did it?

Yes, that's the sale price. That game was free on the One way back when the free games for the One weren't all shitty.

I'm kind of tempted to grab NCAA 14 for $10 simply because it might be delisted and impossible to find in a bit.

Yeah, grabbed it for when/if I ever get an X1. In the meantime, $5 is just right.

Played a handful of levels. Pretty fun. Kinda like a less frustrating Zack & Wiki.

Decent 360 deals during the holiday sale: Spec Ops: The Line for $4.49, Bully: Scholarship for $3.74, and Valve's Orange Box for $4.99 (Gold).

Telltale's season passes are also marked down: Game of Thrones and Borderlands for 15% off (360/XB1), Walking Dead S2 and Wolf Among Us for 50% off (360). Not sure what's going on with S1 of The Walking Dead because it's popping up as FREE on the website, so that might be worth looking into (can't verify since I've already purchased).

You sure those deals are on the One as well? I only see discounts on the 360 versions.

Game of Thrones is $24.99 before signing in, $19.99 after signing in. Borderlands is $14.99 instead of $19.99. Guess they're Gold exclusives, but I couldn't tell since GoT didn't strike through the price on the website like normal with exclusive discounts (Borderlands did, though).

The first episode of S1 has been free for a while now. The other five episodes are on sale for $2.49 each. No season pass for the first season.
