Huge XBLA sale

[BardicKnowledge]

It's worth its own thread: Note that if you don't already own Street Fighter II HDR, you can get it for FIVE DOLLARS this week. Do so. Also consider buying Age of Booty -- if enough OCR people get it, the inhouse potential of that game is sick (currently I know that DarkeSword, Bahamut, and myself all have it).

These prices are set to last until next Wednesday, April 7. Check out the full rundown on this week's deals below:

South Park Let's Go Tower Defense Play! 50 percent off at 400 Microsoft points ($5)

Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix 53 percent off at 560 Microsoft points ($7)

Defense Grid: The Awakening 50 percent off at 400 Microsoft points ($5)

Rocket Riot 50 percent off at 400 Microsoft points ($5)

Mad Tracks 50 percent off at 400 Microsoft points ($5)

Track & Field 40 percent off at 240 Microsoft points ($3)

Lumines Live 50 percent off at 400 Microsoft points ($5)

Age of Booty 50 percent off at 400 Microsoft points ($5)

Schizoid 50 percent off at 400 Microsoft points ($5)

Wallace & Gromit Episode 1 Fright of the Bumblebees 50 percent off at 400 Microsoft points ($5)

i was under the impression that most of these were permanent - at least, South park and Age of Booty were.

[Bahamut]

Others here have HDR as well like Nekofrog, zircon, Liontamer, djp, newt, etc.

Also I'd like to get a multiplayer game of Age of Booty going again sometime - it was definitely fun when we played it before.

Now I finally have an excuse to shell out a few bucks for Age of Booty!

[BardicKnowledge]

After the madness of Easter weekend, I'd love to get a game of Age of Booty going sometime next week. Hopefully we can find enough people to 3v3 inhouse!

I already have SSF2THDR (of course ). Age of Booty and Lumines might be interesting... I remember liking the Age of Booty demo but not enough to buy it at the time. I'll try to take another look at it tonight.

Thanks for the heads up!

i really enjoy defense grid: the awakening. i play from time to time - it's not a multiplayer game, but it's definitely got enough game modes to be really fun.

i think i'll pick up age of booty.

[sephfire]

Lumines is definitely worth buying. I hear you get more for your money with the PSP version, but I've loved the 360 version.

correction: i DID pick up age of booty. i need to learn how to play it, now, and then i'll be in for some online play.

A hint about early upgrades: In 1v1 combat, a ship with 1 armor upgrade will beat a ship with one cannon upgrade. The cannon ship will take out towns faster though. Speed is usually only nice as a 2nd upgrade unless you're on a team of 3-4 people where you can spare having a boat dedicated to jetting around the map collecting crates.

I want to buy these ones, I currently have 640 points

South Park ($5)

Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix ($7)

Defense Grid: The Awakening ($5)

Lumines Live ($5)

Age of Booty ($5)

Schizoid ($5)

Wallace & Gromit Episode 1 Fright of the Bumblebees ($5)

I can only afford 1 points card though so I'll have to drop 2 of those games, probably Schizoid cause I know nothing about it and Lumines cause it's a puzzle game. :i

[Flare4War]

I already have HD remix, Turtles In Time, Castelvania SOTN (my first time playing through it and I love it), and a few others.

Just the same I should probably check into this sale and see if anything else interests me.

[Bahamut]

Bardic and I are on Age of Booty right now if anyone wants to join us - I'm ilovepsi and he's MasterTenor if you guys want to add us.

Edit: Actually I'm going to wait until food is cooked for now.

Edit #2: Actually on HDR now.

[sephfire]

I'm cAtf00d if you want to add me as well. It's been a pretty darn fun game thus far.

[Brandon Strader]

I bought sf2thdr with the points I had left, now I have an odd 120msp left which you can't buy anything with. At least not anything worth buying. I'll have to grab up a $20 points card and get a few of the deals.

edit: Got some games, Rocket Riot was awesome... sf2thdr is crap. It's worse than sf4. You can keep hitting the button combinations over and over, and about 1 out of 200 times will it actually do the combo. I'm sitting there trying to do any attack and getting killed by the second fighter on casual mode. Bad game.
