Whatever lets you sleep at night man... 800 points could give you a lot more than "the crappiest summer of arcade title". You could pick up a Fallout 3 DLC for thatbovine wrote:So team, here's the deal. The crappiest Summer of arcade title: Turtles in time Reshelled came out today. I had absolutely no desire to buy this game at 1200 points or at the reduced 800 point status it sits at now. However, Let me tell you a little story.
When you purchase all of the summer of arcade titles (splosion man, MvC2, Turtles, and Shadow complex) you get 800 points for free when it's all said and done. This means that if I purchase Turtles in time, since I'm going to get all of the other games, I get it (essentially) for free.
Anyways, that's just the epiphany that I just had, so I thought if any of you were going to avoid this title, but grab all the others, this might change your mind.
Microsoft gives you 800 points, but only after you get all of the summer of arcade titles. In order for me to do that, I must get the turtles in time. If I do not, I don't get the free 800 points.Tessian wrote:Whatever lets you sleep at night man... 800 points could give you a lot more than "the crappiest summer of arcade title".

Turtles in time was the greatest Beat 'em up ever made. The remake.....stil awesome but I will say the SNES version is still a superior product. However this be an awesomely fun game to playbovine wrote:Microsoft gives you 800 points, but only after you get all of the summer of arcade titles.

EDITED (with exciting new content below!)
To the point of the calibre of Turtles in Time vs. the other Summer of Arcade titles, I am merely suggesting that the other games are more exciting original IPs or better games to begin with (MvC2). Turtles in Time is not a bad game, but there is already Arcadian Warriors and Castle Crashers if you want a solid and robust beat-em-up experience. Turtles in time offers little in the way of modes and an extremely short jaunt of a campaign. The other titles at least have potentially longer playtime or replayability.
allow me to correct myself The SNES version f turtles in time. I would put River City at 2. The XBLA version.....meh.....why...it's the arcade version. Snes is miles away the better game. sadnessBlotus wrote:Wuh? Have you never played River City Ransom or The Warriors?

The RCR remake on the GBA was awesome, as well.Replay wrote:River City Ransom was just spectacular. I wish we had more games like it now. I wasn't a fan of the graphics, but the gameplay, the items, the hidden stores especially...it was sweet.

A Boy and His Blob? Is it a remake, or another adventure?
Chris wrote: First impressions on A Boy and His Blob: It's freaking great. Seriously, I was having a blast with it.
I will admit that at first, I was a little disoriented. There's no real tutorial level, so to speak. You have a level before you meet the Blob to learn the basic motor skills, and then the game tosses you into the first level. The controls for throwing jelly beans are really awkward and unintuitive at first. In-game, there is absolutely no instruction on how to do it. I had to consult the instruction manual for the exact process on throwing beans. However, once you get that down, things move along pretty quickly and easily.
The goal of each level is to simply reach the end. You have unlimited lives to do so. In each level, there are three treasure chests that you can collect, which unlock challenge levels and other unlockable goodies. As far as I can tell, this is optional, and it appears that you can backtrack to pick them up later. Per level, there isn't a whole lot of combat. The game reminds me of Braid in that there are enemies that can kill you, but you're not seeking them out. The meat of the game is using the Blob's powers to simply traverse the increasingly more difficult obstacles in the level as opposed to a more traditional platformer, where you jump and fight.
I worked through a good portion of the first world (there are four) and I was impressed with the level of challenge and the amount of exploring you can do if you want to get all three treasure chests in each level.
Highly recommended.
the 360. Until I get a new PC then I'll buy that version. But right now those are the only 2 worth getting (PS3 version lags behind both. still looks good but the online functionality and framerate of the 360 is more consistent)bovine wrote:Borderlands coming out next week. Anyone throwing money down on that, and on what platform?

Borderlands looks cool, and I'll most likely get it for PC, but I don't know if I'll order it right away... mostly because I just got Brutal Legend and Tropico 3 comes out on Steam the day before (which I have pre-ordered).
Gotta force yourself into moderation here or you'll burn through all the good games too quickly
Borderlands is a must buy. seriously. It's fucking spectacularBlotus wrote:Wal Mart and Future Shop are selling Borderlands for $39.99 in Canada. I hadn't planned on getting it, but it's tempting now. Also, Futureshop's 360 Elite holiday bundle comes with Lego Batman, Pure, and Prince of Persia for $300.

Everything's in fine condition, though VP's case has annoying yellow EB stickers. Aren't you glad I bought a PSPGo?
It's been $19.99 at retail for about 3 months on both 360 and PS3. Stupid thing is, EB charges the same price for used as newBlotus wrote:Dead Space is $19.99. For once, a 360 game-on-demand is the same price or cheaper than at retail.
