| All people should buy Dust, its such a beautiful and great game! On another note is Deadlight worth the 600 Points? Im not sure if i should buy it :) | ||

| @#4:While one can argue if it's worth the original 1200 Points, it's almost a damn steal for 600 and you will be very well entertained. :) | ||

| Very interested in Deadlight, not quite as interested in Dust. Still a better daily deal than yesterday. | ||

| Dust is totally worth it. Wish I would have waited, but... eh. Deadlight is garbage. Not even worth 600, let alone the 1200 I stupidly paid for it. Stupid, pointless story, shitty controls. Only positive, is the cool art style. Avoid | ||

| I'm sure I remember seeing a list of all the upcoming daily deals, but now I can't find it. Am I crazy, or can someone link it? If I imagined it... I mean, I'm positive they announced it in advance in previous years, I remember setting a phone reminder for the relevent days. | ||

| @17 - I agree, this "Summer of Arcade" deal day should have included Tony Hawk with either today or yesterday having a different theme. I did pick up Tony Hawk yesterday and I am glad that I did, but nothing for me today. Dust and Deadlight were tempting though. If they were at 67% off I would get them. | ||
Forum Posts: 126 | Comment #21 by Earth Djinn Sunday, December 23, 2012 @ 06:48:24 AM | (0) |
| @16 It had better be 50% off, because I won't pay more than that and I really want it. | ||

| Dust is a great game imo. Paid full price for it on release, and at 600MSP it's a no-brainer, if you like that type of game. | ||

| Mark of the Ninja, Trials Evolution, Minecraft, Deadlight and Dust is one of best XBLA titles of 2012. The Walking Dead is King of XBLA in 2012 and winning Game of the Year for XBLA. Anyway that's my opinion also 2012 is great year for XBLA. For Hybird, I don't like this game because of MP only. :) | ||

| @8/9: I paid full price for it and certainly got my money's worth out of it (90+ hours), you can still find games on it but it's mostly me and two other 'veterans' just steamrolling the fuck out of whichever 'n00bs' are currently trying out the trial. I honestly WANT it to be free at this point like Happy Wars just for an increase in the level of competition. As for "just another shooter", It has a greater armoury with greater balanced weaponry and a faster pace than Gears Of War has managed it 3 attempts. There's also it's obviously unique attribute of jetpacking between cover that everyone loves to ignore when they brush it off as "just another shooter". So in short, do shut the fuck up. It's probably the best 3rd person cover shooter MP out there (Still yet to play Uncharted 3 :,( ). No doubt it would've found a better, bigger audience on PC. ANYWAY, Dust is mine now. | ||

| Dust, Dungeon Fighter, and Walking Dead E5 are what I'm grabbing from the 1 day only deals with remainder of pts after pinball tables. Maybe Jet Set Radio while on sale too, I miss that game. | ||

| @10 - Thankfully not, else I'd be having a proper whine. Bad enough that I can no longer input Shift keys for Borderlands 2 or use almost all the apps I had when I was Gold. Contrary to what the Tories claim, being dole scum isn't all parties with buckets of free cash. | ||

| I was a bit disappointed in deadlight. I found it far too short for what i paid for it. Especially when you have the likes of torchlight on xbla. I might have to try out dust though. It looks interesting | ||

| @26 Agreed on the Shift codes BS. It's pathetic that MS have the gall to make that Gold exclusive, when every other platform allows it for free. And even though I'm perfectly happy with the quality of the sales this year, I'm rather annoyed with the fact MS hasn't seen it fit to put the countdown on most EU dashboards. Despite complaints already on Major Nelsons blog. | ||

| I went out on black friday and got 1600 point cards for 10.00$ at target. I picked up 15 of them so I've been buying up almost everything. Hard to turn down deals when 400 points only costs me 2.50$. | ||

Windows phone is also having a countdown to 2013 sale. http://www.xbox.com/en-US/community/promotions/countdown-2013/windows-phone There are a few good games on the list. They arent only daily deals though, theyre all still on sale. And new deals are added everyday. | ||

| @ 4 please don't go telling people that everyone should buy Dust. The game is NOT FOR EVERYONE. People say Mindcraft is for EVERYONE and that couldn't be further from the truth because I could care less about it. Anyhow Deadlight is what I'm getting. | ||

| I've been pretty happy with the deals so far, picked up a few things. Waiting to see what the borderlands 2 deal will be. A lot better deals than last year, but I remember the year before a lot of older titles were on for 200 points a piece. I'd like to see a few of those thrown in here hopefully, but from the list, looks like it won't happen this year. Still good deals all around. | ||

| I purchased deadlight and am enjoying it. I'm half way through it ( my friend ruined it when he walked in and mention it while I was playing ) Think I have only used maybe 5 bullets total to kill zombies. I do like the puzzles, well thought out. $5 good buy, back to giving my money to steam. | ||

| Just picked up Hybrid and have spent the past few hours playing it. Fun shooter, worth the 400 points I spent on it. I recommend both Dust and Deadlight at 600 points. Deadlight is a little on the short side but an easy 400 gamerscore. Happy Holidays. | ||

| A whole lot of people buying Deadlight are going to be posting here again in five hours after they beat it saying, it wasn't that good and I will never play it again. That game was super mediocore, even at 600msp. | ||
