yyyeah, i think my 'summer of xbla' has just been cut down to galaga and bionic commando

drohne · « **Reply #61 on:** July 30, 2008, 04:46:20 PM »

i might, yeah -- depending on how the versions compare and whether i've got microsoft points sitting around

If you are planning on buying the new Bionic Commando game also, buy Rearmed on he same system. If you beat Rearmed, you unlock Rad as a playable character instead of the dreadlocks version.

Update: Microsoft has informed Shacknews that the reported $22.50 price point for Castle Crashers and $15 Braid price, believed to stem from a now-removed Microsoft Japan listing, are incorrect for both domestic and international markets.

As it stands now I'd probably lay out $15 for Braid if I had to.

Hitler Stole My Potato · « **Reply #67 on:** July 31, 2008, 12:28:53 AM »

I'm willing to spend 15 bucks on Braid too. I'm still hoping that'll be 800pts though.

Lumines was a HUGE milk considering all the other 'packages'. Still, Lumines in HD is WOOOOOOO

Yeah, I've paid 1200 for games before (Lumines, Puzzle Quest), but I think 1800 or whatever Castle Crashers is, is taking the piss. They've probably read all the negative feedback today and are reconsidering it, but I'm sure it will release at that price. They are just trying to kill some of the negative hype.

1800 would be fucking distinguished mentally-challenged. They don't even sell 1800pt cards. 1600pts for Castle Crashers is still too much but at least you could go out and buy a single card for it if you wanted to.

I'm thinking it'll come out at 1600.

yea i bought lumines on day 1 and i was pretty happy with it. the graphics whore in me yearned for it.

dunno abuot that castle crashers price though. shit better be packed with goodies. still buying braid though.

If it was a retail-only release, almost any of us would buy Castle Crashers for $19.99. In fact, people would probably be cheering what a great "budget title" it was.

Addendum: for what it's worth, The Behemoth is saying it won't be 1800 points.

That's because you start every morning with a big bowl of Crabby Flakes, Chief Nofun of the Idoanwannas.

But other people... you know, gamers with souls who like to support small developers... would probably do it.

Hey jerkface, I am buying Too Human. I care for the industry.

ferrarimanf355 · « **Reply #75 on:** July 31, 2008, 06:42:36 PM »

Geometry Wars RE 2, Castle Crashers and maybe Galaga for me. The other two, I'll demo.

MCD · « **Reply #76 on:** August 04, 2008, 12:14:06 PM »

braid is 1200 points.

MS lied, again.

cool breeze · « **Reply #77 on:** August 04, 2008, 12:24:20 PM »

No big surprise there.

If the demo is fun, I will buy it. I still hate the art style to it. It reminds me of those hideous filters for SNES emulators, except somehow worse and with horrible blur effects. Looking at pictures of this game almost makes me ill. This is one of those cases where I would be more interested if it had good aethetics to match the seemingly interesting gameplay. I'm so glad both Portal and Mirror's Edge had good aethetics that matched their respective gameplay styles.
