Hey, SF4 Arcade is that free game I received in that Best Buy shipping snafu. I guess I'll really never be able to even give that shit away now.

I mentioned this on the podcast that was recorded last night, but what happened to the Summer of Arcade? Is that program done? MS definitely would've made an announcement by now. What a shame...

Was going to answer in the the other thread, but it makes more sense here: I have no idea. I still turn my 360 on pretty regularly (mostly for non gaming, but I still look around), and I'd just have to guess that with the transition from 360 to Juan maybe just not this year? I don't know. There is 1 Arcade game released a month on 360, at most, unlike before where it seemed to be weekly, so I'm assuming it's just a phase out of that to phase in Juan.
Let's hope if it is still around, it gets a little better. I feel like they've been kind of gotten worse every year. The first was 4 of 5 pretty amazing games (Castle Crashers, Geo Wars 2, Bionic Commando Rearmed, Braid -- never played the updated Galaga), the second wasn't as good as the first, with really just 'Splosion Man, Shadow Complex and Trials, and the third stayed pretty strong but definitely arguably weaker than the first two with Limbo, Laura Croft and Monday Night Combat (and I personally really liked the Castlevania game). After that, I feel like it's hit or miss with one good/great game, and then some questionable ones. This most recent one was pretty bare bones and kind of ass in my opinion (Charlie Murder is fun, but nothing really special, and I thought that Brothers was extremely dull, clunky, and overrated, personally).
As just an overall annoyance: if they did have an Arcade, Super Time Force would have been great there. You know, instead of just completely buried with no support whatsoever (at least, on 360).Comment

Some good sales this week. RE: Revelations is like $13 and Forza Horizon is about $10. There are a few other games but they seem to be the standouts.

Oh shit, just saw on CAG that Peggle 2 (XB1) is half price. Only $6.

Ok, I'm sure I'll get shit for this but I don't care. Where in the hell do you find the sales on XBOne? The only way I knew about Peggle was because of CAG. I don't see anything on the dash.
Edit: Also thanks to CAG I see that the Dead Rising 3 Season Pass ( I didn't even know there was one?) is 33% off at $19.99. I read a pretty unflattering review on Destructoid on the four pieces of DLC but for what comes out to $5 each...worth it? It appears that they crazy new DLC that they revealed at E3 is not included. Lame.Last edited by Twigg4075; 06-16-2014, 07:33 PM.

It looks like this week Tomb Raider Definitive is half off at $30 and Strider is half off for $7.50.
I think I'm going to pick up Strider.

I need to go back and finish Strider, but I really enjoyed the two hours or so that I played of it.Comment

I would also like to add that there was a 'Gold Deals' tile in the lower right corner of the main screen on XBOne for me last night. I did not remember seeing that the previous day. Is it something that needs to be pinned?

Obviously I can't speak for Bone, but I know for 360 it still moves. Some Tuesdays (the deals day) it will be right on the front page. Other days, it will be on the front "Games" page. Other times it will be in the "Browse games" tab. There honestly doesn't seem to be much rhyme or reason to it, honestly. It also seems to move on a daily basis at times.Comment

That's probably why I saw it yesterday (Tuesday) but not on Monday. On XBone it is very different. Once you click on games that have different sub sections like 'Highlights', 'Most Popular', 'New', etc but no deals section. I have no idea how to find them unless that tile randomly pops up.

/besides Charlie Murder (and I believe SFIV now being free with GWG, there are some notable sales. There is a Rockstar sale including Max Payne Season Pass, Midnight Club and Bully SE. Bully is something like $3.74. There is also a sale on Deadfall Adventures for only $8. The physical version of this game is apparently pretty difficult to find as I'm sure they didn't print many copies. Swarley recommends it even if it is quite the budget game.
Keep in mind that I just found out about this sale and it ends today.

Dishonored isn't a bad game to get for free if you haven't played it already.Comment
