I truly recommend to anyone that has not played Mark of the Ninja do yourself a favor and buy it, I bought it for 1200MSP and it was worth it :P Also, Trine 2 is very fun ^.^

Mark of The Ninja is a stone cold no brainer at that price. I paid full price for it and it was worth every penny. All of them.

Trine 2, good for couch co-op with the missus?

@7 Rayman Origins is actually around €10,- to €15,- new now on disc though. So worth it.

As for the deal I got Fez and Trine 2:)

Rayman 3 is also a steal for 400 MSP.

@4: You mean the patch that caused a miniscule amount of saves to glitch, a patch that can be deleted and won't effect the game if you play offline, that on? Yeah, real gameplay ruiner that.

@4 has a legit question - does anyone know the answer? Last I heard/read; they 'couldn't afford' to fix their last patch which corrupted player's save files and made the game nigh-on unplayable. Which if still true is a huge shame,cos it does look like an original idea and like it could be fun.

I bought Mark of the Ninja as soon as it went on sale, and I'm currently downloading the trial for Trine 2 because that's a really good price for it, and I want to see if it's a good match for me.

I was waiting to get Mark of the Ninja but now after reading some of the comments and checking out gameplay footage on youtube looks like I'll be getting Trine 2 as well.

I have a bunch of microsoft points built up from bing.com and their rewards program (much better than xbox live rewards btw) and now I can take advantage of a lot of these deals. Holding on to some for Walking Dead 2-5 though.

At the very least I want Mark of the Ninja, though I'm considering Trine 2 for that awesome price. Sonic Adventure 2 and Rayman 3 are on the fence for me. To anyone who is debating on getting Fez or Rayman Origins and loves a good platformer, stop debating and buy them NOW.

@ 20

You and I have the EXACT same problem. I can only afford 3 games, and I've narrowed it down to the same five as you. I am definitely getting Mark of the Ninja and Dust, I have eliminated Fez, but I still can't decide between Deadlight and Hell Yeah! (leaning towards Hell Yeah! because of the awesome Sega-themed DLC pack).

I guess I'd better hurry up and make a decision before it is made for me!

@39 Maybe you should consider that not all dashboards are the same, depending on region. It's not on my himepage either so I can understand that #34 can't find it. Where I live we only have the big ad for the winter sale on the home tab, and those deals are valid until the 31st. Nothing on the games tab either, so you actually have to find the titles for yourself, which is why a post like this one is actually of use to some people.

Probably just Fez for me. I always end up buying all this stuff when it's on sale and never get around to playing them. I have a HUGE backlog of games.. I am a sucker for a good deal :)

I was thinking of getting Fez a week or so ago, so this seals the deal.

Nice list. thanks for the post.

Next time though, could you list the games on demand both in their $$ value but also in their microsoft points value?

When you press x on the buy screen when buying games on demand, you can buy them with microsoft points. I forget exactly, but I think 9.99 is about 770 or so microsoft points.

***NEWS*** I just got off the phone with Microsoft Customer support (30 min) they looked into the Rayman Origins price (I am in Canada) and it is still listed as 19.99.

Apparently the $9.99 for Rayman Origins is US ONLY. I don't know why it is showing up in the deal of the day for Canada and UK, I really wanted it for 9.99. I bought it for 19.99 though because I had extra points. Anyways.

Just letting you all know, from microsoft customer support (1-800-4MY-XBOX), Rayman Origins is $9.99 in US only. They tried multiple things to try and get it to work for me but found out that from the aboves.
