N0T PENNYS B0AT - It isn't cool to sound like a grumpy old man regarding the Xbox One. Take time to form a real opinion.

Okay, NOW it's a party

We've been covering a lot of news regarding the upcoming second annual XBLA House Party lately. Here's one more piece to the news pile: Microsoft has announced a deal that will deposit 800 Microsoft Points into your account for buying all four of the games included in the House Party promo.

To refresh your memory, the quartet of very promising arcade games includes http://www.trueachievements.com/Alan-Wakes-American-Nig....htm, I Am Alive, Nexuiz, and Warp. The prices for each of these games haven't yet been announced, but typically games that get special promotional attention end up being 1200 MSP. Of course, we'll still wait on the official word from Microsoft which should come soon with only a month to go until the House Party kicks off.

What do you think? Does this deal make it worth picking up all four games?

I'll get Alan wake and I am alive. I'm not sold on the other 2 and 800msp probably won't sway me either

I think it's a good idea but it's not going to if you weren't going to be picking up all games anyway then it's unlikely to change your opinion.

Does Alan Wake have coop in the horde mode, anyone?

Shame I'm not the slightest bit interested in Nexiuz cos the other 3 look good..even if i'd been half-interested I suppose the deal would made sense for me...i'll wait for dotw instead methinks

Also, I'm never in a rush to play XBLA games, it's always more sensible to just wait for them to show up as DotW. That way, even if I end up getting all 4, I save much more than 800MSP.

I don't like how I would have to spend 4000+ MSP for a measily 800. I'll just wait for them to go on sale like they inevitibly will within a few months of release.

I never understand these deals because you are paying for 4 games just to get 800 msp, is it worth it?
