Games for Windows Marketplace
Deal of the Week: Where's Waldo
Price: $3.75 USD / 300 Microsoft Points
Usually $14.99 USD / 1200 Microsoft Points

The game is relatively easy to complete for achievements and is pretty cheap. Is it worth it at this price?

I got it for 300 MSP but haven't played it yet. Are the glitchy achievements fixed?

there are no glitches. Every GfWL game takes an hour to maybe 2-3 days till the achievements are updated on your gamercard/console. People just have no patience and always scream 'glitch' as loud and quickly as possible.

The game is definitely worth this price. It's real fun and you can play it 'together', as four or six eyes are better in finding than two.

While the second part is generally true, your first statement isn't. There are glitches where you can complete a difficulty and the accompanying achievement won't unlock for no apparent reason. It happened to me, though it doesn't happen every time and you can get them to unlock through a rather convoluted method of unlocking an achievement in another GFWL game, then playing the entire campaign again on that difficulty.

I'll be sure to post this news up on the main site though, great sale.

ok yes, you are right. I read up on it and have to admit that you are right. Been a bit hasty in my conclusion this time.

Is anyone else having trouble signin into windows live for games, everytime i try it keeps saying that theres a problem with my internet connection and wont let me go any future. I bought the game online from the website then was going to download it later but i cant.

Fullbrook · 01-08-2011, 12:03 AM

No problems signing in here.

Also, the game came up for me as 280 points, not 300. The $3.75 is right though.

Mr Achievement · 01-08-2011, 02:39 AM

Sweet deal! Just picked it up.

=)

AssassinGnome · 01-18-2011, 06:47 PM

i have a question this is the first time i actually find a link for that game my question is do you download to your xbox? or you play from your computer and the achivement appears on xbox? thanks

rekikire · 01-18-2011, 09:04 PM

This is part of games for windows live, so you play it on your PC, but it has achievements like xbox games. So the achievements will appear on your gamertag, and you will get the gamescore for it.
