Really wish I could recommend picking up Alan Wake for that price but I did not enjoy the XBLA release - running the same three levels three times over was not an enjoyable experience.
BlinkFandangoII - ACIII and CoJ online done, guess I better work on BF3.

Picked up Alan Wake, there is also a Back to School sale going on with a ton of deals. I personally got Rock of Ages, Simpsons Arcade and Euro 2012 (add-on for Fifa 12) for 50% off. I think the full list is here: http://www.videogamer.com/xbox360/sonic_4_episode_ii/news/so...

If anyone bought Sine Mora in the Sales+Specials app a couple weeks ago just for laughs delete it and see if the marketplace tries to charge you again for it.

I ended up getting everything except Limbo.

That Back to School list looks amazing. Simpsons Arcade and Sonic 4.2 for sure.

I also wholeheartedly recommend Geometry Wars 2, my favorite XBLA game. And that Pinball FX2 sale is a good way to start on your table collection for a great game. And Stacking for 300? That game is worth that much in charm alone.

There is some good titles there. I've got all I can handle for now though. Like any sale in a store, they should maybe advert these things a week or so in advance.I think it'd generate more sales as people could plan ahead. In stead of buying that 1, 1200 point game last week, they could get 2 in this week.

I was suprised last week when i was in Gamestop that the store associates didint even know that MS had DotW's.They were trying to sell me on the Borderlands 2 season pass when I told the guy I didnt want it because they would all be half price by next summer.I dont think he believed me as he procceded to tell me that they still sell the first games add on's for full price. I gues the only news they keep up with is the stores news.
I wouldn't even bother with them anymore if the chicks they had working there werent so frikking hot.Damned, Gamestop Girls.
