The Arcade Random Thoughts Thread

[IamMedellin]

Also, in regards to the Holiday Sales going on this week. Good luck finding them too. You go into the Arcade Sales section and the only thing in there is Rock of Ages, which I didn't even think was mentioned in this weeks sale? I was able to click on a "Related" tab which did have Insanely Twisted and Renegade Ops, but no prices listed and no Bastion or Bloodrayne to be found ANYWHERE. How can you not have sale items, especially a game like Bastion that is only on sale for one day, not front and center?

So yesterday, I posted the Holiday sales on the forum after visiting CAG, then i turned on my 360 and it was RIGHT THERE on home screen, COUNTDOWN TO 2012:12 days of sales, every deal in a simple to find manner...I DL Bloodrayne:Betrayal

No necessary...

Well, fuck that. Is my dashboard busted or something? I should've taken a picture of all the tabs yesterday. Nothing about any of the sales.

Its available on home screen and the games screen


that center tab changes every 10 seconds, going though 4 or 5 announcements/deals very similar to the IGN.com homepage

the holiday deals are available front and center on the home screen and the Games screen
pretty simple stuff Mackey :smug2:

U can also use lb and rb to cycle through the center screen.

Oh, I hear you Med. But I'm telling you, there wasn't anything on my dash about it at 5pm yesterday. I made sure to thoroughly check both of those tabs and...nothing. The only "deal" was under the weekly deal and that is Rock of Ages.

Man, Trine 2 is gorgeous, and pretty damn awesome.

I still need to play Trine 1. Is Trine 2 on 360 as well as PS3? I know the first one was PS3/PC only.

I would also like to add that Super Mario 3D Land is fucking awesome. That game alone is worth owning a 3DS for.

Trine 2 is on all 3 major platforms. I have the first on PS3 and PC (got it for 2 bucks on Steam -- the PC one is much better). I only have Trine 2 on 360 because it won't work on my rapidly aging PC.

Highly recommended, but only if you like puzzles. The combat in both games is very simple. The majority of the game consists of working out physics puzzles and effectively using the wizard and grappling with the thief. It's extremely satisfying though, and has a great way of making you feel like the solution you came up with for any certain puzzle is yours alone, if that makes sense.

Yeah, I played the first one for like an hour so I know what the concept is. It seemed like a great game but I never gave it the time it deserved. I'll get to it eventually.

re-upped with gamefly and got 2 months for $1

just Got Green Lantern for 360, heard it was a God of War clone, kinda fun for a movie-tie-in, but very easy even on Max difficulty..

Uncharted should be coming in soon, Need to find/buy/borrow a Dualshock 3 soon..

Which one is the Prince of Persia reboot? Is that the cell shaded one or the one that kind of looks like the movie?

I really liked the cell-shaded one despite the fact that it was basically one big quicktime event.

I have had Darksiders for over a year and still haven't played, despite REALLY wanting to.

Have you played all of the games you got at one point Buzzman?

[Buzzman]

Its the cell-shaded one. I've always wanted to pick ti up but for some reason didn't Sitting at $7 I couldnn't resist. Ironically the game I am most excited to play is Assassins Creed 2. I have no clue how I haven't played it yet; especially since I actually loved the first despite its many flaws.

What do you mean by "Have you played all of the games you got at one point Buzzman?"
