  • Aww...man...when is Lead and Gold coming out...?
  • will prob pick something up, dunno what yet tho....need to check chievo difficulty first :D
  • Will be picking up Geo Wars 2. Maybe one or two more titles as well.
  • May pick up GW2 for 400, but where the hell is Doom II? Been waiting on that for what seems like forever.
  • Had better pick up SF2 then.
  • is street fighter 2 good
  • @1 that is an interesting comment. And do we get another big bunch half off or is this an one time only offer?
  • I suggest you all download Rocket Riot and play it. It's jolly good fun. What-ho.
  • @ 8 - One time offer ends on the 7th for those 10 games. @ 7 - If you played any old SF back in the day, you'll enjoy. Geo Wars 2 is prolly the best thing to shoot for IMO. Have both of 'em and they're addictive.
  • - Wallace & Gromit Episode 1, 400 points (usually 800) I think it was reversed. :)
  • Can't agree more with #1. I'll be saving my points for the Mass Effect 2 DLC this week.
  • @3 FAIL
  • Defense Grid was a sleeper hit for me. Tried the demo, loved it, purchased it, hours of fun. Well, well worth 5 bucks.
  • Gonna pick up Defense Grid, then save points for ME2 DLC :) @4: Also waiting for Doom 2, I don't think it's coming anytime soon though.
  • Err, meant @5
  • Avoid Lumines LIVE!!! It's like effing crack for addictiveness!!!
  • Anybody know if the Lumines add-ons are on sale too
  • i picked up south park for some cheap humor. propably get Geo wars 2 loved the first game i'm not good at it but fun anyways.
  • GeoWars2 is an absolute steal at that price. Probably the most addictive arcade game I've played. Pacifism mode!
  • I see what you did there #3, unlucky.
  • Love #1's comment, you sum up my opinion exactly!
  • Meh, where´s Metal slug XX?
  • What happened to the Army of Two avatar items?
  • I got Defense Grid and LOVE it. Long game, ton's of replay value, and the perfect difficulty. Achievements are pretty nice too. Not too hard, and not too easy! Best 400 I spent in.. well.. forever!
  • Also, @2 What?! I did NOT know Lead and Gold was coming to 360! I was about to buy it on PC. If it's same release date as PC, it will be out April 8th.. But it's not listed here. Hmm.
  • Already picked up South Park and Defense Grid. Now I am going to pick up Geometry Wars 2 and Kasumi tomorrow.
  • @ #11, it's episode 1......400 points.
  • Ah, too bad...was keeping my fingers crossed for Final Fight: Double Impact. :(
  • One DLC that isn't in the list: Kasumi- Stolen Memories.
  • ok now im getting pissed off!! where is left 4 dead 2 dlc the passing!!!??? ive been waiting for 2 months!!
  • When is Joy Ride coming out i agree with 31
  • I guess I'll pick up SSFII
  • Almost every dotw is in my posession so nogo forme
  • wow!
  • Too bad I won't have any spending money till friday, I would have gotten a few of these otherwise.
  • Waiting on NeoGeo Battle Coliseum
  • @2 and @26. It may help if you guys go to www.leadandgold.com because they have an article up stating this: A few people seem to think that we don’t have separate versions of the game for PC and consoles. I would like to end that discussion by saying that we of course treat the PC version in a different way than the console versions. The base of the game is of course the same but the control setup is totally different along with other things that we feel need to be different between the platforms. In conclusion, we will customize the game to be as fun and playable on all the platforms as possible.
  • @#31 According to Valve Time, the DLC should be out by May 23rd. I've been wanting this badly so it'll suck if we have to wait that long
  • GeoWars2 is a purchase since I passed on it back in the Summer of Arcade 2008. Defense Grid was a purchased a few days and i'm enjoying it. I never play any Tower Defense games but in the past 6 months I purchased THREE games in that genre. Very enjoyable for Arcade titles. What is the price of the new Mass Effect 2 DLC?
  • @1 Martin Luther King's got nothing on you ;)
  • lead and gold ftw
  • going to pick up geometry wars 2. still undecided about rocket riot.
  • Purchased Geo War 2 couple of hours ago, definitely worth 400msp.
  • Picked up age of booty and mad tracks got mad tracks mainly for easy achievements but i actually found it quite fun for only $5 age of booty its quite good to hope microsoft keeps these deals up.
  • wallace and gromit is now 400points instead of 800. the article has it mixed up. what kind of a deal is it when u have to pay extra?! lol
  • I will now deem this the great Wallace & Gromit Debacle of 2010! Everytime you report on this news, they come out in mass to read it wrong, thinking you mean 1,400 pts. Not episode 1. Gargh!!!
  • Figures... just spent 800 msp not too long ago on something that turned out to be sh*t when I could have gotten geometry wars 2 and south park. Btw, if Geometry Wars 2 was reduced by 50% as well, why wouldn't they just add it to the list instead of listing it as something different (DoTW).
  • Final Fight: Double Impact comes out on the 14th (next Wednesday) for 800 MSP.. remember that it is 2 games in 1 (Final Fight and Magic Sword). Very much worth the money.
  • @48 Becasue Geo Wars is the "official" deal of the week. These other games are jsut a one time offer i suppose that arent being widely publicised on the dashboard and such
  • @15; Doom2 would be awesome. It could be on XBLA tomorrow, Doom XBLA is [partially] based on the port of the game for the original XBox Doom3:CE which has Ultimate Doom, Doom 2, and Final Doom on it. I always wondered why they didn't release it all to XBLA as a single package (with 600GS :p).
  • South Park or Defence Grid?? Perswude meh :P Enjoyed Rocket Riot demo,but not sure on perchace.
  • @52 South Park was awesome fun and a blast to 200, not played defence grid, gonna look into it now.
  • Cool, I'll have to pick up Geometry Wars 2. Wanted it for a good while but couldn't justify spending 800 on it since I have such a hard time on 1. Guess I now have an excuse to grab millipede as well now.
  • Age of Booty is an underrated gem!
  • Wallace is 400, it says Episode 1, not 1400. Easy 200GS with the guide on this site. The rest are ok, I bought a bunch.
  • defense grid is defintly solid for any1 who is looking to blow some points. south park is pretty amusing as well.
  • #55 ... i agree... there are many that will never understand the awesomeness that is Age of Booty!! the menu music alone warrants the purchase
  • What happened to last week's Magic add-on?
  • Where the hell is the Passing? It was meant to be out last month =(
  • Hello Everybody as some of you know bioware is a holding an onlien auction tommorow and if you could clink my referal link it would get me some extra tokens to use, id greatly appreciate the help, heres the link http://social.bioware.com/brc/1066231 once again thank you very much!
  • Thanks Xenodolf--will definitely download it day 1...just a week away!
  • @1 Best first comment ever!
  • for those wondering about the L4D2 DLC "the passing" it was due to be released at end of march, when it wasn't i went looking as to why... i couldn't find a reason why but i did find out that the date had been changed to a very dissapointing and very vague spring release... damn it!
  • Well if the LFD2 dlc is anyhting like the LFD one it wont be worth having anyway
  • NEED DOOOM!!
  • I already own all of these, I want my 4000 points back or Microsoft is a bunch of money grubbing jackoffs!!! Just kidding, I know how businesses run and I actually own none of these...until now! Love me some half offsies!
  • By the way, Track & Field is not half price.
  • #69 neither is Street Fighter if you want to be fussy.
  • wheres sonic 4?
