There's daily deals as well. Today is a PopCap bundle of PvZ Garden Warfare and Peggle 2, along with Need for Speed.
It's so dumb that you have to log in to see the prices. Show people who don't have gold what they are missing. Why be so secretive?

I think I read before that it's done that way because of pricing in other regions, so the % is consistent but the actual amounts are different if you're in other countries. The NeoGAF link I posted before is probably a better list and resource.

Everyone should own Ori! I'm tempted on Storm Island, I've only played a bit of Horizon 2 though and not sure if it's worth it if I'm not super in to the game or anything.

Storm Island is most definitely worth picking up, especially at 75% off.

It's fun. Cool weather effects. Difficult races.
Easily worth $5.

I have been thinking about getting Transformers: Devastation for awhile now. For anyone who has played it, is it worth 25 bucks? Thanks.

I haven't finished Ori, but I'm not a big side-scrolling platformer.

Got my codes for Gears of War.

Odd, Ori is showing up as $11.99 on the console but $10 on the website.

Yes, especially if you grew up with the original cartoon series.

What was the last game you played that didn't have saves?

Shadow Complex has saves. Any game can lose your progress if it crashes.

Ori has saves. It's just very old-school difficult so I'd be more worried about making progress than saving progress.

That said, I think the upcoming GOTY update will make the game less crushingly hard.

Every game should be able to save like Fallout 4. Now if I would just remember to save, it would be perfect.

If I recall correctly, Ori frequently auto saves with the exception of those "chase" sequences to end each area. I shudder to hear of OldBoy's experience with those if he buy's the game, especially given his trouble with the bear in Tomb Raider

South Park The Stick of Truth is a daily deal and backwards compatible. Sold for $7.99!

Curse not being able to buy 360 games online with credit though. Had to use real money.
