Title: Target selling XBLA cards - BOGO this week
Post by: demi on March 02, 2008, 07:49:20 PM: I'm sure you may have seen these before, I came across them awhile back. MS is now selling XBLA cards, so you can buy the game without buying the points. It wasn't much of a selection, but I might do this, just cause I can get one for free.

I'm actually considering buying it again. At what % completion does it become unplayably difficult?

Title: Re: Target selling XBLA cards - BOGO this week
Post by: AdmiralViscen on March 03, 2008, 12:13:26 AM: I will.

I got a taste for a big chunk of the levels playing co-op at a friend's house, but I have a feeling I wouldn't get that far alone without getting pissed off.

I might just buy it though, fuck it.

Post by: The Sceneman on March 03, 2008, 12:18:14 AM: Ive gotten a good couple of hours play out of the game and havent been frustrated at all, Ive just been having a great time with it. Its a good way to take a break and unwind from mega AAA blockbusters like Lost Odyssey and Ass Crud too

I was talking outside this BOGO deal, obviously it's worth it now.

I'm up to episode 22, I think. It gets annoying when the hardest of the bunch is the first or second, but then you don't have enough time to finish the last one, so you have to replay them all.

Well from what I saw we were playing completely custom maps, and they were ass-reamingly hard, I won one of them by literally a hundredth of a second. I touched the gate as soon as the Gauss Gun shot at me.
