Alien Spidy

This Week and Next Week on Xbox Live
Written Tuesday, March 12, 2013 By Richard Walker

It's a bumper couple of weeks ahead on the Xbox Live Marketplace, with today seeing some Kinect Sports Gems hitting the store, ahead of the release of Darkstalkers Resurrection tomorrow and Alien Spidy (pictured below) on XBLA next week. There's a slew of DLC to pore over too, including Dead Space 3's Awakened and Sleeping Dogs' Year of the Snake add-on.

Next week, the second chapter of Assassin's Creed III's Tyranny of King Washington will be coming too, with The Infamy followed up with the episode 2, The Betrayal. Then there's the Tomb Raider Caves & Cliffs Multiplayer Map Pack, and the Gears of War: Judgment VIP Season Pass, which we're sure we saw on the XBL Dashboard yesterday.

Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition gets a fourth skin pack too, adding Borderlands, Dragon Age, Assassin's Creed and Halo skins for 160 Microsoft Points from tomorrow, while today sees the long-awaited Scott Pilgrim vs. The World Online Multiplayer + Wallace Wells DLC Pack finally surfacing.

Add to that, some Ubisoft and GTA IV deals, and you have a pretty decent couple of weeks ahead. Check it out:

Was really hoping mass effect 3:omega would be on sale soon. I dont know why they put the same old shit on sale month after month. Microsoft are really becoming annoying whereas Sony are really beginning to grasp what gamers want...my ps+ collection is looking pretty healthy and for the same £40 with ms I only get to play online lol. I think my next gen money will go on Sony this time around. Thanks in advance for the thumbs downs.

The Scott Pilgrim DLC isn't supposed to be up until Wednesday according to Brian Lee O'Maley (sp?), the guy who created Scott Pilgrim.

Only Playstation 3 is getting it today, as far as I know, so I don't know why Major Nelson said today.

If you boot up the game, they already added a new update which adds a space for Wallace (but he's not there) and you can actually access online mode, but you can only play World 1 online without buying the DLC.

Regardless, $5, as low as that is, is too steep for what you're getting. A single character and online that should be free. Two years late. People are only going to play it once as Wallace and then grab the online achievements solely to get completion again. It's not worth $5. Will wait for a deal or until I've accumulated Bing/XBLR points.

@3 - Thanks for letting us all know, we will all sleep better tonight. I don't understand all this love for PS Plus either. You get a small discount on certain items and then the "free" games. You know those games which are only yours while you continue to pay for the service. At least with LIVE I know I'm paying for online whereas on a PS3 I'm paying for what? Meagre discounts and loaned games?

@27 - Mass Effect 2 DLC has been on sale quite a few times actually.

Not sure why so many people in here are so confident that ME2 dlc did not go on sale.... where does that confidence come from? lol..... I bought most of my ME2 dlc, ON SALE.... anyways, I do not give one shit about ME3 dlc anyways.

DarkSouls has been on my mind for awhile, I am temped to grab it. The DeadSpace3 dlc is what I am interested in getting TODAY!

You get to play online for free on PS3, and the optional extra you pay for plus is very good value: £40 a year, it's the same as Gold, but the only thing Xbox has over it is cross game chat.

And sure you don't get to keep the game forever, but if your not finishing a game within a year then the PS+ service is not for you anyway.

If you can't admit that from a value for money standpoint that PS+>Gold, then you need to open your eyes.

@27 Christmas 2010 sale was when ME2 had the best deals on DLC... Picked up all 3 major expansions for 200 points each.

@28 Christmas 2010 sale was also the best for Alan Wake DLC deals... 200 msp for each of that game's add-ons, as well.

I approve of these:

Beyond Good & Evil - 400 MSP (50% off)
Splinter Cell: Conviction – Deniable Ops: Insurgency - 400 MSP (50% off)

Also you need to go to DS3's in game DLC menu to download Awakened which is fucking stupid.

@ #3

While I agree MS continues to rehash the same crap (especially with GTA4) PSN+ is still nothing more than a rental service. Those are not free games dude, you are paying for them! Not only that but they arn't even yours to keep.

I could go on about how much of a SCAM PSN+ is to someone like me but I don't think you would understand. It seems all those sorry souls on PSN want is freebies and instant gratification... LOL. I'm sorry to say but I like to own my games and I prefer physical copies of my games as well because I'm a collector, not a renter like you.

I will never pay for PSN+ because it is nothing more than a rental service who's only redeeming value is in the discounts you get. I'd much rather pay for XBL to be honest, and have better security, better download speeds and installations, an OS I can trust that doesn't freeze the console every day and that doesn't cause my HDD to fail making me lose my saved games, etc,etc.

PSN+ only appeals to the instant gratification generation.. Not me. The fact that nearly 90% of PS3 exclusives doesn't intrest me doesn't help matters either. And then being forced to use that 17 year old archaic dual shock 3 (ergonomic nightmare) of a controller to play said games? Uh uh, Sony can keep their shit and their gimped online service.

I own and like both, but never once had any if the issues you mentioned. But I guess fanboys like to forget that RRoD ever happened. I'm not an online gamer outside of co-op modes usually, and they're not as common. My only stink between the two is little things, like netflix, which I pay for separately, won't run on Xbox unless I'm also paying them as well. It's annoying for someone who rarely buys digital or plays online to have to pay for a service they would barely use. Not to mention all the other crap it comes with gamers likely don't want. Also psn doesn't have ads, regardless of wether or not you pay them.

Why does anybody waste their breath arguing over which is better: psn or live? Obviously everyone's got their own opinion on the matter and I doubt anything that anyone could say, no matter how relevant or correct, would change anyone's mind regarding their own stubborn opinions.

Could anyone answer this question:

Can anyone in North America that owns Metal Gear Rising confirm whether or not making a European Xbox Live account and downloading the VR Missions dlc for Metal Gear Rising allows you to play the content on a North American Xbox 360?

@ 40 & @ 41

Thank you guys for atleast respecting my opinion and not being immature about the whole thing. Although I still stand by everything I said (because the PS3 console itself and PSN has given me nothing but headaches since day 1) I do understand how it holds value for others.. but it will never hold value for me.. there are just too many cons imo to be gaming on the PS3 other than for exclusives.

As far as the gold paywall goes, I agree. I find it absolutely disgusting that MS feels the need to lock things like netflix and IE from silver members.

In the end though at less than 3 bucks a month I still find more value in XBL though.. despite how I feel about the gold paywall.

Anyhow, thx for being understanding guys. :)

I'm really getting tired of the same weekly deals. Maybe 1 out of 20 deals are originals. Seriously, Microsoft, if you want to make some money start putting out deals for the games that are like 2+ years old. No one is buying the damn DLC at full price anymore, so just put it on sale ffs.

Scott Pilgrim's DLC is finally out! But you can try out the new online co-op on the first level for free, so give it a try before you spend your MSP.

@43 Yeah, what the hell? Are they delaying it because of all the drama? I hope you poor Season Pass holders don't get screwed more than you already are..

@45 If #28 doesn't take you up on that, I've been waiting for a sale for the same reason, so I'd appreciate it. My Collector's Edition didn't come with one. :(

@45 It's also called "The Signal". "The Writer" is the second one that came out, I managed to grab that one while it was on sale figuring I'd get the game on disc w/a code, instead of being shortchanged.
