Forgotten Sands is great and a no-brainer at that price. May bite on Ghosts as I rather use Gamestop money than my Amazon credit.
Heads-up, Dead Rising 2: Off The Record is also discounted for $20. & Major Nelson post is up, reconfirming the other 4 games.
I think you would. It has a forgettable story, boring and awful melee combat, and no chapter select and TONS of missable achievements. But the game's platforming and puzzles are nice and wortha playthrough, especially at $5. The game's absolute biggest strength lies in the freezing/unfreezing of water. It's the main puzzle / game play mechanic in the game. You use a button to freeze/unfreeze water. I.E., imagine a water spout along a wall shooting a small, steady stream of water. You jump towards that stream of water and then freeze water JUST as you are approaching it - boom, you're now grappling onto an icicle shaped like a pole and swinging across it. They add clever puzzles forcing you to freeze/unfreeze water multiple times in mid-air. I.E. imagine you are still swinging on that frozen icicle, and but in between you and your next platform, there is a 9foot-by-9foot solid sheet of ice. You'll need to jump off the frozen icicle pole, and then mid-jump, unfreeze water, so that you go straight through that 9foot-by-9foot solid sheet of ice (and that solid sheet of ice would instead become a small waterfall, since you unfroze water in the environment).
It's not a great game but the platforming is fun.

Apparently the discount for Dead Rising Off the Record hasn't gone live yet, when the discount goes through it should be priced around $6.80
MS sent out codes for the 1st episode to random ppl on Xbox Live, maybe you can find a code for cheaper.

Absolutely not. They screwed PS360 players so badly.
The update is still coming for 360 check their tweets but for now I recommend getting it on PC.
For anyone who's only option is 360 I say get it. It is still loads of fun with friends. (Don't be that guy who says it's shit and only played offline with bots)
If you really want to play it on 360 I say get the pass at that discounted price and either wait for a deal on the first episode or buy the first episode at full price. If you do the latter you'll still be getting season 2 for like half the price.
Bioshock Infinite?
Metalic Sand
who is Emo-Beas?
Where is everyone seeing these pics?
The game is a fuckin' mess technically so you better download the demo before buying the game.
I'd like to get this since I still haven't played it but I have only 5e in my account and I doubt it will get discounted that much.
This sale is really weak so far IMO, both in terms of game selection and especially prices.
Yeah seriously this is a last gen sale for old games, should be a fire sale instead of small discounts.

Kind of upset I didn't grab KOF at that price instead of waiting....

I have 9.99 left in my account. Anything y'all recommend?
Portal 2, fallout 3, skyrim, or dishonored. If you already have those or do not like them than wait for tomorrow to see what is left.

Gears 3 was a ridiculous bargain at $7.50AU.
Traded in my disc copy for $10 and bought more MS credit then bought Dead Rising 3 Super Ultra Hyper Edition Remix Ex plus a
Ok what am I looking at here with all these Serious Sam games?
1. Serious HD is the main game and The Second Encouter is the expansion for that game?
2. Serious Sam 3 BFE is the main game and Jewel of the Nile is the expansion for that game?
Are these two games connected?
Where is Serious Sam 2?
Other than these deals being less than stellar I find it frustrating that DMC4 and now Dead Rising 2: Off the Record are both games that I wanted but don't have the correct price for me. DMC4 is $7.49 and DR2: OtR is $19.99.
Lame.
I was really hoping for a DeathSpank sale too. I played and loved the first game. And the second and third have never been on sale. Not once.

Second Encounter is Serious Sam 2, stand alone. Nile is the expansion to the third game.

Serious Sam 2 is a different game that hasn't been released on Xbox 360. Second Encounter is Serious Sam 1: Part 2, basically.

And Truelize, you're really not missing out on anything by not having played Serious Sam 2, the game was pretty bad, much worse then the first two entries. Both encounters are excellent.

So is Dead Rising 2 Off the Record basically Dead Rising 2 with Frank West?
At least same content?

Yes, same story as DR2 but with a new character and an added sandbox mode.
That's why I passed on this deal.
I still have Dead Rising 2 in my backlog that I got for free with gold a while back.
There are some new weapons and items, but yeah, it's basically a clone of DR2 with Frank.
Did the discount go through for Off the Record? I'm still seeing it at $20. Or is $20 the discount?

Dead Rising 2: OTR also includes a new area to the mall that the base game doesn't have, it's a theme park like area called Uranus Zone.

Last week. It was a huge Platinum sale.

This pleases me.
OTR removes the zombrex shit, right? which is one reason why they made this version because of DR2 backlash.
Sort of. You still need to find them, but they're for Frank himself, so no having to go back to base every so often.
Skate 2 is indeed worth it and it does have local multiplayer (though it's more of a pass the controller thing)!
