[Archive 2011] Xbox LIVE Deal of the Week + Other Sales

[sambo]

Even at 800 points (And Portal is an amazing game) Is it worth it when you can get The Orange Box for around £10.

The XBLA version has 14 more levels / puzzles than the Orange Box version ... + more gamerscore.

'Splosion Man 'splores $5 price point next week



Twisted Pixel's highly combustible Xbox Live Arcade platformer and object of Joystiq adoration, 'Splosion Man, will headline the upcoming Marketplace schedule (as relayed by Major Nelson) with a temporary 50-percent price reduction. After dropping to 400MSP ($5) for the week of February 1, 'Splosion Man should prove more challenging to blow off than up.

i don't have the orange box so i bought portal still alive. never played it before now and i must say it's awesome! I have nearly finished the main story though already (i'm on the last level) but i still got the 14 challenge maps to go through and then i'm gonna play through the story again with commentary. I just can't get enough portal right now!!

I just can't get enough portal right now!!

I went through the same thing when I first played The Orange Box.

'Splosion Man 'splores $5 price point next week

I'm not sure if I've already bought Splosion Man (I've bought a lot of XBLA games and have not played them).

If I haven't, I'll definitely buy it next week.

so mad you'll 'splode ??

it's a great 2d platform-puzzler, one of the best games on the arcade

3 offers this week.

I bought TMNT Reshelled.

I already bought Marvel vs Capcom during the holiday promo a few weeks ago ... cheaper than this week's offer also.   

I have no interest in Invincible Tiger.  I've seen some crap reviews for it.   

[Failed]

i got MvC2 over xmas too, is Turtles any good?

Although tbh, i might avoid it as i have shed loads of arcade games to finish, i think i'd just be buying it for the sake of it, although i could get it now and play it in a few months time. aaaaah! decisions.

Duke Nukem 3D costs 400 Points next week
Deal of the Week sees the Duke drop in price for seven days only.

Duke Nukem 3D will be next week's Deal of the Week.

The news came from George B of 3D Realms, who says Duke Nukem 3D will have its price cut to 400 Microsoft Points for next week only.

It's a bargain at that price although admittedly, I got as far as some sewers level, then my memory of completing the Saturn version failed me, I got lost and I abandoned the game. Duke is still stuck down there in the sewers somewhere. Whoops.
