Seems like people would have picked up BF 1943 when it went on sale in December. Though, I am looking forward to Darwinia +.

The Good: Metro 2033 gear may mean I finally get an Avatar gas mask.

The Bad: No Doom 2

The Ugly: Selling Resident Evil 5 on Demand instead of Resident Evil 5 Gold Edition on Demand.

let's just hope the DLC game add-ons and Demos will make up for this load of crap announcement. More Mass Effect 2 please!

Tuesday, February 09, 2010 @ 12:25:20 PM

I wouldn't bother with BF: 1943 right now since Bad Company 2 a.k.a Modern Warfare 2 killer is out in a month ^_^

Comment #14 by Acid Mother
Tuesday, February 09, 2010 @ 12:27:39 PM

#11 Street Fighter 4 is on there too, and with Super Street Fighter coming up it's an obvious cash-in. They'll charge $40 for it now because they won't make half of that once SSF4 comes around.

And good for Beautiful Katamari being on there, more people need to play this game.

ah finally some breathing room on the DotW. I've picked up around 6 arcade games on DotW since the middle of december, and its about time they put up something I have zero interest in. Hopefully next week they put up some lame CoD map pack so I can save a little money for a few weeks before they give me more deals I cant pass up.

Comment #19 by Sergeant Saix
Tuesday, February 09, 2010 @ 12:58:17 PM

I hate how DoTW has replaced them lowering games prices over time. I understand why they would but it doesn't mean I agree with it.

Tuesday, February 09, 2010 @ 12:59:04 PM

@2. I didn't get BF 1943. And I was perusing what arcade to get next and found myself sighing that it wasn't 800. For me, this is kerching :).

Tuesday, February 09, 2010 @ 01:40:53 PM

Dear oh dear. Why are all the new arcade games coming out at 1200MSP? Can't Microsoft see that when they are on Deal of the Week (eg. Shadow Complex) that they sell in much higher numbers at 800MSP than 1200MSP? Really stupid if you ask me. Also, I want Perfect Dark :(

Battlefield is fun, but messed up by all the spawn snipers. They made me stop playing long before the required 100 matches...

Comment #38 by MakoBallistic
Tuesday, February 09, 2010 @ 01:53:41 PM

Perfect Dark is the only XBLA game i care about, thats prob why its still not out....

And to people that live in the UK, if you preorder Metro 2033 from PLAY.com you get a free Gas Mask for your avatar.

Big fail by M$
1. No Perfect Dark
2. No word on Joyride
3. P.B. Winterbottom is supposed to be 800 according to the developers.

I want Perfect Dark NOW!!!!!

Are you serious? Why are they recycling the 'Deal of the Day' promos from December? MvC2, now Battlefield?

Tuesday, February 09, 2010 @ 02:13:17 PM

Where's the love for PB Winterbottom?!

I've been waiting for a release date.

That game should hold me over until Bad Company 2 releases.

Comment #48 by Skar46137
Tuesday, February 09, 2010 @ 02:43:33 PM

1943 is the only thing worth the download...and most that are interested got it when it came out. Come on MS...impress us for once?

Looking forward to seeing what the avatars look like with RE5 and Metro stuff.

Comment #50 by Caramel Cardinal
Tuesday, February 09, 2010 @ 03:09:48 PM

@34 simple some morons will buy at 1,200 hence they make more money, plus judging from the perfect dark statement i take it you like me and 1,000's of other people will be more than willing to pay 1,200MSP for it rather than wit till they reduce it for a week :D

Comment #51 by Caramel Cardinal
Tuesday, February 09, 2010 @ 03:13:49 PM

also PB Winterbottom is meant to be only 800MSP

Comment #52 by ChocoDK
Tuesday, February 09, 2010 @ 03:17:39 PM

Its smart of the companies to price their arcade games at 1200 points (not defending them and I don't agree with the 1200 price point either). This way when it does go for DoTW they price it for 800 points which causes more people to buy it who disagree with the 1200 price point. Then they make double the profit.

If it was released at 800 points it would be for DoTW at 400 points.

Comment #53 by MASS DOMINATION
Tuesday, February 09, 2010 @ 03:21:15 PM

wheres the mass effect 2 avatar items!?! i would totally buy something if they added that. if MS doesn't give any ME2 avatar stuff that's a huge loss for them. its arguably the best exclusive on the 360 and MS should support it any way they can.

Where the hell is Perfect Dark ???

Comment #55 by Joe Funky
Tuesday, February 09, 2010 @ 03:44:57 PM

@13, I hope it does kill MW2, not that I like BF2 either. All games are trying to be realistic now. Wasen't the point of videogames supposed to be where you put yourself in situations that would never happen for fun? I mean, if you want a more realistic MW2, go join the Army/Navy/Marines ect. Personally I think realistic games are "Ok", but fiction games are better, a.k.a Fallout 3, Dragon Age: Origins, Borderlands, even Halo 3, while it has crap MP, has great customs. But this is just my opinion.

Comment #56 by Scythe100

Resident Evil 5 Avatar stuff sounds cool. What I want is some weapon based props for your avatar. any gun would be nice with the RE5 content, but I can see a FREAKIN Lancer for some Gears of War 2 Avatar DLC! Also what I have been wanting to see is a Master Chief uniform and helmet.

Comment #66 by Kyanite
Tuesday, February 09, 2010 @ 05:28:39 PM

@ #60

I'm with you on the avatar stuff except for my baby chocobo. It rules over all.

That said, the only thing that really interests me is "The Misadventures of PB Winterbottom". It looks like it's different and holds a lot of potential for a good time.

As for everyone who whines week after week about there being no update on Perfect Dark or Doom II, get over it. They'll be on Live soon enough, and then everyone can whine about the games having multiplayer achievements.

cant wait for perfect dark :D

the winterbottom creeps me out a bit cos it reminds me of dr winterbottom halls that i stay at at college! ive saw nicer looking prison cells!

Tuesday, February 09, 2010 @ 07:19:20 PM

PB WINTERBOTTOM looks like first day buy now since its only 800 points . Glad to hear not all new games are 1200 now . I wonder how long that will last though ... Darwinia looks awful to me . Its not because of the graphics really just the story looks lame .

Comment #81 by TheBorkinator
Tuesday, February 09, 2010 @ 07:23:28 PM

why would they discount Battlefield 1943 when it was on sale for 560MS points for the New Year's Countdown. what a waste.

Comment #82 by TheRoadHead
Tuesday, February 09, 2010 @ 07:28:38 PM

winterbottom at 1200...maybe, at 800 hell yea

The RE5 single player DLC (that I don't believe many people have heard about) is coming out the 17th. http://www.giantbomb.com/news/new-resident-evil-5-single-player-content-starts-feb-17/1764/

they were taking on one of the podcast i was listening to (i think it might have been 4guys1up) and it sounded really cool. Its basically billed as a flashback to the mansion and events during RE1 but with the controls of RE5. So basically an re-remake of RE1 but only a portion of it (i think they said on the podcast there might be more portions released later).

That really makes me want to actually play the copy of RE5 i got a few months ago for 20 bucks. that and all the RE game i gotten over the years and never played much of any of them main

Comment #83 by pauly_27
Tuesday, February 09, 2010 @ 08:36:33 PM

People are saying "Why are the new games 1200 points?" Well I'll tell you why - idiots are prepared to pay it. Just like I see people in this very thread getting excited about paying money to get virtual clothes.

I'm sure someone will say "thats your opinion" or "get a job cheapass lololol" but I'm sure anyone sensible would rather be spending money on games to play, instead of a different shirt you see when you boot up your console.

I'm hoping that since the RE DLC, which was announced on the upcoming panel of the marketplace, but was left out of this list, will come out Tuesday when the rest of the RE5 stuff does. My friend said you get to play as the great Barry Burton in this one!!!

Arcade has been plagued with overpriced mediocre classic titles for some time. It's pretty rare for original games with a 1200msp to come along and actually merit a download because of it's quality.

Comment #101 by KaoFam
