Sales & Specials+: Week of October 23rd, 2012

The Mystery Wheel contains new prizes!

Written by Dat Boi Treezy on 23 October 12 at 17:12

This weeks sees a change of everything in the Sales & Specials+, including the Mystery Wheel. Switching up from the previous zombie related, exclusive Avatar items, the items up for grabs are set at a value of 160 MSP each, but the spins only set you back at 40 MSP a go! The exclusive goodies up for grabs include a bit of variety with a couple of musical instruments, toy-style items and even a zombie Penguin. These items are set to stay in place for the next three weeks.

Scratch & Match features two newly featured XBLA titles this week with frantic, fast, deadly racing action from GripShift, and some colourful, emotional puzzle solving with http://www.trueachievements.com/Geon/achievements.htm. Ikaruga makes a second appearance to the Scratch & Match lineup, but this time at a cheaper price than it was back in August.

The wonderful Lara Croft dominates the Chain Reaction this week setting off the explosive discounts with an avatar item, which after purchasing, leads to discounts for DLC packs from her XBLA adventure title, http://www.trueachievements.com/Lara-Croft-GoL/achievem....htm.

I like completion, but I have been eyeing up Ikaruga for a long time. I guess it's time to buy it.

Anyone know what the Shocktober sales are? The THQ sales haven't been replaced yet, neither have the Batman sales for Deal of the Week.

Ikaruga is the manliest game in the world.

I've been passing up GripShift, but this is a nice opprotunity to buy the game. I heard it was pretty innovative.

like every week I would like to remind everyone that even though it says "US and UK only", these deals work for everyone in Europe too, as long as you download the app for it! Even the Mystery Wheel has been unlocked for Europe today and now works like it does for US and UK.
