Shocktober Arrives on XBL

Shocktober Arrives on XBL

A handful of discounts for trick or treat

Written by punkyliar on 23 October 12 at 22:53

We have another special sale on Xbox LIVE this week. Halloween is fast approaching, so Microsoft has gone with a Shocktober theme. Although many games, DLC add-ons, avatar items, themes and gamerpics are listed in the promotional area of the dashboard, only a handful are actually on sale. Marketplace links can be found in the prices. These are the discounts:

XBLA Games

Alan Wake's American Nightmare - 1200 MSP 600 MSP
Ugly Americans: Apocalypsegeddon - 800 MSP 400 MSP

Games on Demand - prices vary by region

Dead Rising 2 - 50% discount
Resident Evil 4 HD - 50% discount

The sale lasts for slightly longer than the usual week -- it ends on October 31st, so don't wait too long to snap up these items.

Bah! I had hoped there was going to be more than this!
No demo for RE4:HD & DR 2 is cheaper to buy & trade back in at Amazon.
Is RE 4 gameplay similar to RE5? Might take a risk if so.

RE4 isn't as action paced as 5 was, it still had a hint of survival horror in it.

Why isn't RE CODE V not in these sales? lol

If I can get the money, Resident evil 4 for $10 is a great deal.

Definitely picking up Alan Wake, which I missed when it was recently on sale, as well as Resident Evil 4.

FYI to those who are on the fence about it, Ugly Americans is pretty lousy - at best an average twin stick shooter. Also, when you may out a character's level it produces massive slowdown when playing online. Not sure if it has been fixed recently, but if it hasn't I would avoid it unless you're just looking for an easy completion.

RE4 is terrible.

Dead Rising 2 is boring.

Guess American Nightmare will be for me then...
