Meat Boy will be on sale until like Nov 12th or 21st. Forget the exact date. Im on the fence as well. I eat these games up because it reminds em of Splosion Man. I have 800 left over from the Red Dead.

eah, all I'm hearing are awesome things and everyone has been saying the demo doesn't do it justice. Plus because of the bullshit pricing and "sale" I can't see it going below $10 any time soon.

I can not recommend Meat Boy enough. It's fantastic. Great sense of humor, right balance of challenge and giving you a sense of accomplishment for pulling off something spectacular. Plus with all the secret shit, there's an absolute crapload of levels. It's well worth 10 bucks if you like platformers.

Yeah, that's what I hear. All the gamer journalists on Twitter (Justin McElroy, the Giant Bomb guys) have been praising the shit out of it.

FYI the soundtrack is available for download on the dbsoundworks site for $3.99.

Totally agree then. Was very "meh" on the demo...thought it was fun, but not worth the money. Then when I realized it was on "sale" and that it would someday be 1200 points, I figured I'd rather risk it now at 5 bucks cheaper than wait and miss out/pay more. And like I said, it's fantastic. One of those games that is very hard to put down. If you liked 'Splosion Man I'd say it's a must buy, because I think it is just as good if not better (and certainly offers more).

So I checked the new releases in Arcade and saw Pinball FX 2. I click on it and see "Full Game-Free". I'm guessing it's a mistake but I'm downloading while the downloading's good!

Yeah, I got the update but didn't see DLC anywhere? I even checked in the in-game menu. It was completely blank.

Also, in regards to Pinball FX2 (what a scam by the way), one of it's main features is that it allows you to import your tables from the first game. I thought I owned the first game but apparently I only played the demo. I alos could've sworn the first game was part of the Arcade Hits. I went and chacked and it's gone. I went to my trial and clicked on "Unlock Full Game" to see the price and got a message that said "This content is temporarily unavailable. Huh?

I did clown and there wasn't any DLC there besides avatar outfits and stupid themes and shit.

When I said "I even checked the in-game menu" I would think any "dodo" would've realized I had already checked the Marketplace.

I saw that. I didn't even know they were coming out with a third.

They need to discount the second one then. Ha!

Don't know if this has been mentioned yet but... FINALLY Konami is releasing X-men Arcade (the Arcade 90's classic) on XBL & PSN.

X-Men Arcade

All I have to say is.... WELCOME TO DIE!

Can't wait till MS sells us a game that you could beat for less than 5 bucks for 10 bucks! /Twigg

Seriously though, this game is fun but not fun enough for more than 400 pts. Which means MS will sell it for 1200. Assholes.

Game informer elaborates on what the game will be like, but it will be a Co-op and a "reboot" of sorts. Hopefully not to the complete overhaul like TnT, which even then was pretty decent. But It would be awesome if they stretched it out and added new modes.

Ha!

I guarantee it's $15 just because of the popularity factor.

Speaking of XBLA, did anyone try Pacman DX? I know hoe everyone at MM creamed there paints over the previous Pacman but I haven't heard shit about this one except from podcasts, and they say it's good.
