Well considering it was only made by 7 people, I'd say so. I own a Steam and a XBL copy along with the soundtrack |

Snagged the DLC, thanks for telling us!
It didn't show up in new add on releases so just look for Bastion =] it's there under the extras. That is if you don't use the queue. |

| @2 pretty good, really good game for 600MSP.. although I don't think I would have got it tbh if it was still 1200MSP.. I completed the story really fast, and know I can complete the new game + really fast like in 90 minutes as I done everything on my first play without even going for extras really.. thats how easy it is. |

If I'd had the foreknowledge of all these deals, I would have probably bit on it. |

| Good game... Honestly, I figured this would have sold a half million during the summer. I mean, why do arcade games sell such less copies if, 1.) They're cheaper and 2.) there are over 20 million people on Xbox Live. People are missing some great games. Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet is a steal @ 600 right now as well... Highly recommended to anyone who enjoys exploring every nook and cranny of a game. Also, can't wait for the inevitable, and eventual, sequel to Shadow Complex. I don't give a fuck, no XBLA game can touch Shadow Complex. |

Funny story...I had a friend recommend me the music first...I loved the soundtrack and actually got it. I then found out this game was an RPG on both PC and Xbox360...I bought it on the 360 (bought it before the damned New Years Deal, bummer). Beat it....and loved it.
Bastion Freaking rocks! If you love Action/Adventure/RPG's, then this is the game for you. Was worth all 1200MSP I spent on it.
This game was incredible...to everyone else who's proud to be an owner of this game, I tip my hat to you as well. :) |

Bastion was the only deal on the Xmas deals list.
Even so, I still felt like the game is over hyped. It's "okay", not great, IMO. |

Bastion is not just an amazing game, but the story was great. I love the way the story was presented--through extended narration. This fits well with a silent protagonist. The graphics--fantastic. The game play--original and refreshing--definitely has replay-value. And the music--one of my favorite aspects of Bastion.
It's too good to pass up, in my opinion. If you don't have it yet, consider it. It is regularly-priced on XBLA now--I was lucky enough to get it when it was half off--but if you have a steam account it's 66% off for the original version. I personally bought the Soundtrack Edition--which is also 66% off. Those deals end in about 24 hours from now, so if you can go try out the demo.
Just be wary if you look up game play or trailers on YouTube, etc. A lot of comments contain spoilers--obviously. >.>
Bastion is a beautiful title. Supergiant Games really outdid themselves. With that many awards achieved and THAT many copies sold... What more can an indie developer ask for? =]
I'm content owning a copy for XBLA and for Steam. I can't wait to hear news on their next title. |

| See, as I stated in the other Christmas deal day posts, every other day besides Bastion was a complete and utter waste. The Bastion deal gave it more exposure and thus people bought it and helped elevate this gem higher. Then they waste 2 days to fighting games, why not 1? And AWFUL, cheapskate CoD deals were a waste of a day aswell. They should have put obscure, highly reviewed arcade games as the focal point for this years deals, instead of the greedy cashgrabs every single day besides Bastion was. |
