Post by: Bebpo on April 12, 2009, 10:55:53 AM: Yeah, I was tempted to get this because I still don't have Pacman C.E. and I want it (been waiting for it to drop to $5). But the problem is I don't want a single other game on that list, so I'll keep waiting I guess.

It's only $15, and it's not like you are stuck with those games when you buy them like XBLA.

Yeah, but I don't want to play any of those games. So it's basically $15 for Pacman CE.

I said it sucks as a standalone game! If I got it with the option to return the game and get some money back I clearly wouldnt be complaining.

I dont even know what is good. It's cheap XBLA games!

Bebpo, did you start playing games recently? How do you NOT know any of those games? Also, it's only $15 so you're not breaking the bank if you decide to pick it up.

SMH

Err, I already own almost all those in original form on Atari, NES, PS1, PS2 collections and stuff. I'm saying why is it worth rebuying them again on this collection for $15. The games with no achievements don't count because they aren't any different than the originals. So for $15 I just get the XBLA games and from what I've played of the demos or heard, most of them suck. Only Pacman CE sticks out as quality.

Post by: demi on April 12, 2009, 06:14:13 PM: Well your loss Bebpo. I just got my copy. $16 for over $40 worth of XBLA games
Title: Re: Namco Virtual Arcade Museum
Post by: Bebpo on April 12, 2009, 07:29:50 PM: Ok, fine it's a great deal. You get 2000 achievement points for $16.
