The official I Love Games XBOX 360 and XBOX LIVE thread!

Limbo has no score

limbo is to braid as Nosferatu is to Twilight
you should buy limbo.

limbo is a puzzle game and once you beat it there's a number of funtime perfectionist/explorer achievements to get

it's definitely a top ten 2010 game for me.

yeah i'm on it. i recall liking the demo when it came out then it slipped my mind. though i also kinda liked braid so who am i to talk...

i liked braid too!
but limbo is totally different visually, emotionally, storywise, gameplay... they're both slightly precious, short, oddball, non-linear puzzlers; that's about all they have in common.

really dug the demo but kinda resent buying dlc games these days :/

why?

why? i love it.

xp

limbo, costume quest, and scott pilgrim are all aces.

got into the habit of selling my games once I'm done with them I guess #creditcrunch

the new pacman looks amazing. what games have I missed this year I NEED to play? I picked up mass effect 2 but that's about it. do I really need to play guwange, limbo, split/second, need for speed, ac: brotherhood, blur, others I've missed...?

am loving costume quest...

also, loved the demos for blur and split/second, but will wait until they're dead cheap before investing.

don't think they'll get much cheaper: they've been kicking about at £12 each for a while in zavvi's mega monday. games don't tend to go much lower new (except bayonetta; and I did manage to get ME2 new for €1)

Blimey, EG 10/10 for the new pacman. Going to grab this today.

okay i did not know they were @ £12 yet!

http://www.billybargain.co.uk/ is your friend

: ) blur £12 at tesco http://www.tescoentertainment.com/store/games/-/8:486005/

you all know about this week's upcoming amazon UK black friday deals, right?

60% off a wii bundle tomorrow (could be tempted back in by a sub-£70 wii myself tbqh)

£70 for a wii? for real?

shush don't tell everyone, I expect these things are going to sell out in minutes anyway. (they're doing 60% off 360 slims too, planning to upgrade mine if I can place an order in time).

Blimey, EG 10/10 for the new pacman. Going to grab this today.

"it's a game you'll want to instantly evangelise to anyone with even the vaguest
sense of what makes a game good"

eh so if i don't 'get' this i know nothing about games? it's pac-man, whatevs.

Pac-Man CE is incredible, but I'm skeptical that I need ANOTHER new Pac-Man game.

Oops, watched a video review. Definitely getting it.

me too

fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuccck amazon black friday has been shit all day and then they unleashed £50 black wiis

damnfuck didn't think any of the wii stuff was happening today, was that one of the 'special unnamed' offers?

There was a white one that was, then they revealed a black surprise one at the same time.

Only in the UK store tho?

yup, think so

I'm really wishing for a discounted kindle but I don't think it'll happen nor will I get one due to the shambolic nature of amazon's system

Apparently I can't buy games from amazon.uk from an address in the USA? That's too bad; they have a great deal on Assassin's Creed 2: Game of the Year edition (for 10 pounds). You can't even buy that edition in the USA, and given the conversion rate today it's a good deal even for just the original game alone w/o the DLC. From what I can tell it would work on my USA 360, too. Blah.

I'm keeping an eye on this Black Friday thing when I can in case a surprise deal pops up somewhere. Who in the fuck is buying all these granite casserole dishes that keep coming up?

hotukfannies

that came out wrong

Deals for later in the week are also set to include games from the Xbox Originals collection and videos from the Zune Marketplace."

apparently there will be one day only 80% off deals on friday too

beatles rock band for £5 at HMV; <3<3<3 christmas time sales

holy shit got xbox for £50. guess i'll be back on yr geometry wars 2 leaderboards then!

for real? nice one! #yass

i assume i'll be able to use my old xbox live account & be able to redownload the live arcade games i used to own? also : YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSS!!!!!!

I think so; assuming you'll /only/ be using the new xbox and not trying to juggle one account across two systems (which I think might cause the xbox some problems)

well done tho, did try for it but it was gone inside milliseconds. be honest: did you use a script? :)

i used a DIY script : i had duplicate tabs open in chrome & ctrl/tabbed between them while hammering my left mouse button. the fourth one came up trumps, which is odd.
