Unbelievable. Awful title, it's basically Summer of Arcade part deux, AKA. Microsoft's excuse to charge 1200 points for every damn XBLA game. How did this happen to us.

Line up:

•September 29: Hydrophobia – 1200 Microsoft Points
•October 6: Comic Jumper – 1200 Microsoft Points
•October 13: Pinball FX 2 – Tables purchased individually, free import from original Pinball FX
•October 20: Super Meat Boy – Pricing TBD

Comic Jumper is a day 1 for me.

Will probably buy all of these when they're 800 points.

Bebpo · « **Reply #2 on:** August 31, 2010, 06:43:26 PM »

Skipping every PSN/XBLA game at $15. Will check some/most out when $10 or less in sales.

BUT

Am buying:
GUWANGE
BANGAI-O

day 1 @ $15 each

iconoclast · « **Reply #3 on:** August 31, 2010, 06:48:33 PM »

Guwange is 800. I expect Bangai-O to be 1200 though.

What? Free import from original Pinball FX? Someone explain that to me.

Eel O'Brian · « **Reply #7 on:** August 31, 2010, 08:35:49 PM »

they're overhauling the graphics and updating the physics engine on all the previous tables, if you bought the first (or any table packs) you can upgrade and import them for free into PFX2

Just a few more quality games from someone other than Cave and it really will dethrone the Saturn.

They all look pretty cool. Solid lineup but it's a weird title to brand this latest batch of releases with,

Agreed. All the games seem fine to me. But "Game Feast" is the worst name ever. Shitty ms marketing dept.

The Sceneman · « **Reply #16 on:** September 07, 2010, 09:03:10 PM »

they could have called it something as useless as "Month of Good Games" and it still would have been better than Game Feast.

MyNameIsMethodis · « **Reply #17 on:** September 07, 2010, 09:05:13 PM »

"Month of Us Overpricing Video games and raising the price of xbox live so we can screw over our loyal customers some more because they're xbots and bohica" would work nice.

Stoney Mason · « **Reply #18 on:** September 07, 2010, 09:07:30 PM »

Or "the month of games on the console that keeps outselling shitty PSN stuff and the PS3, and the console methodis masturbates to every night."

Yuck, yuck, yuck.

Can't you at least be funny instead of just being shitty.

You're still paying 800pts for Space Invaders Infinity Gene though. I think I bought that for 99 cents on the app store.

Why are they overpriced, though?

Games are $15 bucks on the service now. People need to get over it. If they don't want to spend $15 on those games. Then that's cool. But complaining about it is like complaining about $60 dollar retail games. It is what it is. If you don't want it at that price then wait for the inevitable sale way down the road.

Hitler Stole My Potato · « **Reply #25 on:** September 07, 2010, 10:36:46 PM »

Anyone seen the new Enslaved footage? It's the game developed by the guys over at Ninja Theory. ~~XBLA and PSN this October.~~ Looks amazing.

Oh for fucks sake. I don't know why I thought this was a XBLA/PSN game. Nevermind.

Still looks awesome though...

Hitler Stole My Potato · « **Reply #26 on:** September 07, 2010, 10:41:36 PM »

Nah. It's still a full retail game. I got it confused with something else.

Super Meat Boy is 1200 points, confirmed: http://majornelson.com/archive/2010/09/21/coming-soon-to-the-xbox-live-marketplace-september-21.aspx

Passing on all of this shit until they're priced appropriately.

Will pay 1200 for Clash of Heroes HD though.

Bebpo · « **Reply #29 on:** September 21, 2010, 06:51:45 PM »

Super Meat Boy will probably be worth $15 though. Seems like a meaty (no pun intended) platformer. I'll grab the PC version for sure.

The Sceneman · « **Reply #30 on:** September 21, 2010, 06:59:09 PM »

I'm day 1 for Comic Jumper because I've been hot for the game since it was announced. A shame Hydrophobia is releasing around tons of big ass blockbusters (Halo et al), as I might've picked it up during a quieter period.

Eh, N+ was 800 pts and to me it looks like the same thing as Super Meat Boy. But I'll admit I don't know a ton about the game.

When N+ came out for 800 points everyone bitched that N was free.

chronovore · « **Reply #35 on:** September 22, 2010, 12:43:54 AM »

N+ was plenty of fun, but it basically requires me to start playing from the beginning every single time to refresh my muscle memory on the controls. $:-\$ I got to the stage with the missiles, tried it a dozen times, got incrementally further each time, and put it aside for something that didn't feel like stapling my sac to plywood.

Deathspank is a lot of fun, though it appears to have a demographic of the subset of "people who like Ron Gilbert" and "people who haven't already played too much Diablo." I'm in that subset.

Bebpo · « **Reply #36 on:** September 22, 2010, 12:47:08 AM »

I'll buy Deathspank when they either port it to PC or do a bundle deal on the consoles for both games at 1 price. I thought the demo was funny even if the gameplay was kind of hmmm

chronovore · « **Reply #37 on:** September 22, 2010, 05:00:56 AM »

Yeah, honestly the gameplay didn't wow me either, but I liked the humor, laughed out loud a bit, and loved the art style.

Sceneman hated the humor, it just rubbed him the wrong way. Apparently not enough fart jokes and, if you can believe it, NOT ENOUGH BACON.

I liked Deathspank but I don't really need to play another so close to after finishing the first.

The deuce suffixed to its moniker! Clearly all is new and good.

I dunno, probably not much. I'm not even thinking of buying it until I finish the first, and I've been balls-deep in Red Dead Redemption lately, so it's unlikely to be soon. Also heard that Mr. Gilbert is not doing the writing chores for 2. I also bought Hothead's Penny-Arcade episode 1, and never bought 2. I may do the same here.

also read that in October if you spend $30, they give you back $10 (in points I think it is 2400 and 800?) Good deal and it makes the kinda make $15 games $10 again.

That's a pretty good deal, going to pick up another 1600 point card to get up to $30.

Not sure what to get though. Hopefully Guwange and KoF2002 are out in October. Stupid Game Feast blocking the road for superior games.

I've got the new Double Fine game for 1200, Red Undead Redemption for 800, and 200 already spent on... oh, crap, the Avatard stuff doesn't count, does it? So much for my new Stormtrooper costume. $:-\$ Anywho, 400 more points is easy. Too bad I can't spend it on Dead Rising Case Zero.
