hmm I won't be getting any of those. just spent all my points on the Escalation map pack anyway..Tuesday, May 03, 2011 @ 04:48 PM
Symphony of the Night is an absolute steal at that price!Tuesday, May 03, 2011 @ 04:54 PM
Great, SOTN will be mine this week !Tuesday, May 03, 2011 @ 04:58 PM
Bought SotN back when I first got my Xbox, so that's a no go, and I bought HoD last time it went on sale; guess I'm keeping my points. Though if you don't have these, you can consider it a crime against humanity not to nab these up now.Tuesday, May 03, 2011 @ 05:05 PM
I know I'm beating a dead horse, but they REALLY should have added achievements for those extra levels. I loved/played HoD when it came out, but I have no reason to get the levels. No motivation for me to spend my points on it!Tuesday, May 03, 2011 @ 05:12 PM
@5 If you loved the game why can't you get them. It'd still be fun...Tuesday, May 03, 2011 @ 05:24 PM
I knew I should have waited until the HoD chapters went on sale; oh well. They're very fun to play if you don't own them already.Tuesday, May 03, 2011 @ 05:37 PM
I have always wanted to try Sotn, and this seems like the perfect time to jump in!Tuesday, May 03, 2011 @ 05:38 PM
nothing for meTuesday, May 03, 2011 @ 05:44 PM
@ #5 - I totally agree with you, a couple points from each level is not too much to ask. Even if it was something simple like "Beat X Level", an achievement worth 10 points per pack would have definitely helped sales. @ #6 - Because people leave games behind, and plopping down points on a game that I've beaten/everyone I know has stopped playing is quite rare for me. So an added bonus of achievements could help my decision into picking up the DLC, especially at discounted prices.Tuesday, May 03, 2011 @ 05:48 PM
Bangai-O HD looks great but I've been holding onto my points for Moon Diver. Sucks it was delayed for so long on the 360. Was there even an official announcement as to why there was a little over a month between the PS3 & 360 releases?Tuesday, May 03, 2011 @ 06:09 PM
Excellent Castlevania deals, thought its absolutely ridiculus they're selling COD Black Ops for $70-80 on Games-On-Demand, thats even more expensive then a brand new copy!Tuesday, May 03, 2011 @ 06:20 PM
@1 Gotta love this website. Dude gets thumbs down for saying he bought a Call of Duty map pack.Tuesday, May 03, 2011 @ 06:31 PM
@13 yeah, I hear you.... the people on this website are so negative, if you get my drift....Tuesday, May 03, 2011 @ 06:34 PM
@5, I agree with you and would normally not even think twice about passing up on dlc that didn't offer achievements but this game is honestly too good to pass up these levels. I did for $19 but I'll take all 5 for $9.50. No characters though, I never used belmont, I'm not buying 3 more.Tuesday, May 03, 2011 @ 07:49 PM
For those who have the Castlevania DLC, I'm only going to buy one level, MAYBE two, which would be the one that's the most worth it?Tuesday, May 03, 2011 @ 08:31 PM
SOTN is an absolute steal for anyone who still doesn't have it. I got mine when it was first released. Nothing else here interests me.Tuesday, May 03, 2011 @ 09:29 PM
It would be nice to find people who actually want to play Harmony of Despair. Very boring to play by yourself.Tuesday, May 03, 2011 @ 09:38 PM
@LynxFox Definitely buy Chapter 10. Chapter 9 or 7 would be good for a second choice. Honestly, pick them all up, though, for max items/enjoyment.Tuesday, May 03, 2011 @ 10:11 PM
Anyone still on HoD these days? Also i know this is going to seem hypocritical being as im on an achievement website but if people are passing up good things just because of no chievs thats real dumb. A 10 point chiev for finishing the level would entice sone of you to but it? Why not the new experience, grinding out the new drops etc why people spend their cash on stuff to see a number go up is beyond me. Buy a cheap calculator and your sorted, just add 100 everyday >_>Tuesday, May 03, 2011 @ 10:57 PM
I used to have Sotn for my Ps1 and loved that game.. Haven't played HoD though, so my question for the people who have played both is, which is better in your opinion? I can't decide if I wanna buy both or just one.Tuesday, May 03, 2011 @ 11:11 PM
@5 Luckily for me I never unlocked the 10,000 kills so I'm going to D/L all of the new ones & go on a killing spree.Tuesday, May 03, 2011 @ 11:13 PM
@21 HoD is a quick pick up & play style of Castlevania. It really is meant to be played with multiple friends. Because most of the stages can be done in around 10 Minutes, the fun of replay comes from playing with a bunch of friends. SotN is a full fledged game as you know, while HoD is almost like a fan service arcade title.Tuesday, May 03, 2011 @ 11:15 PM
@#21 Hands down SoTN, But I Say Get Boths Cause There Really Great GamesTuesday, May 03, 2011 @ 11:38 PM
So because PSN is guarded by a blind monkey us 360 users suffer?? Thanks a lot SEGA..... We've been waiting AGES for rally already!!Wednesday, May 04, 2011 @ 12:37 AM
To anyone on the fence about Symphony of the Night, I say: BUY IT! It's an absolute steal. 400msp for such a great/classic game that redefined the Castlevania series. One of my favorite games of all time and the pinnacle of the "Metroid-Vania" formula.Wednesday, May 04, 2011 @ 01:16 AM
Will have to trial Bangai-O HD: Missile Fury, looks like it could be stupidly hard. If my points turn up in the post in time this week I'll probably grab SOTN though, awesome price :)Wednesday, May 04, 2011 @ 01:43 AM
Bangai-O, how I have been waiting for you. Loved it on the DC, I'll bet I love it now too!Wednesday, May 04, 2011 @ 02:43 AM
Finally picked up the Harmony of Despair extra stages. They are all pretty good, too. But Origins in NOT easy at all. Geeeeeeeeeeeez.Wednesday, May 04, 2011 @ 03:25 AM
@13 I only thumbed it down because everybody else did, I read the comment after I thumbed it down. I'm a sheep, like everyone else around here, I see one thing getting negative feedback to I join in without caring what I'm actually doing. It's only human nature. Plus, it's Call of Duty, so everyone gets butthurt when it gets mentioned because it's so successful and they're just jealous that their precious franchises will never enjoy the same successes.Wednesday, May 04, 2011 @ 03:26 AM
Damned Sony! I imagined Sega Rally wasn't released because of you!Wednesday, May 04, 2011 @ 04:29 AM
Sometimes i think people forget its about the game not achievements. If a piece of DLC is good ill get it achievements or not.Wednesday, May 04, 2011 @ 05:34 AM
Moon Diver FTW!!Wednesday, May 04, 2011 @ 08:09 AM
lookin forward to sega rally.fuck psn.Wednesday, May 04, 2011 @ 09:24 AM
Moon Diver for me! :D Completely recommend SOTN, awesome gameWednesday, May 04, 2011 @ 11:51 AM
Nothing too interesting here. I already have SOTN and not interested at all in HOD. Ironically, I just started playing LOS and I like it quite a lot. Not sure what all the commotion was about, but fairly early in the game, so I'll hold judgement until I'm done:-)Thursday, May 05, 2011 @ 07:45 AM
Let me test my theory: CALL OF DUTY

There are two new games coming to the Xbox Live Arcade this week, with Bangai-O HD: Missile Fury offering up shmup thrills courtesy of shooter legends Treasure, for 800 Microsoft Points and intense action platforming set in the 22nd century with Moon Diver for 1200 Microsoft Points.
You might have also noticed last week that SEGA Rally Online Arcade failed to materialise. This was due to SEGA wanting to release the game on both PSN and XBLA simulataneously, and with PSN recently going completely tits up, SEGA Rally Online Arcade has been delayed until May 18th. [Thanks to Ash for the tip]
