Oh there is so. Silly.

And yes! If you didn't play SotN back in the day, don't miss it! Metroid-ish. headspin

Also, dammit, I don't have any MSP or any money. I may have to pass.

This is one of the best deals ever, those games are very enjoyable, with or without achievements. Shame the DLC doesn't have achievements though but I might still get those this week.

MUST BUY!

Symphony of the Night was the very first arcade title I bought from the marketplace. Still one of the best games available. If you don't have it, 400 points is an awesome price for it.

You are correct in that there are no achievements, though. :)

Anyone know if any of these levels are good for grinding out kills? That's the last cheevo I need, but I only have 2,000 or so I think. Would definitely buy in to get HD done. ;)

I only have Beauty, Desire, Situation Dire (awful) and Origins Stages, was gonna ask if the others are worth it but for those prices its worth the gamble.

And SotN and HD for 1000 Moon Dollars is an amazing deal. Thats some serious hours of gameplay there.

Beaty, Desire, Situation Dire is the best way to get your WINGED BOOTS though, while it's not a great map. The other maps are must buy if you still have to get the 10.000 kills.

Anywho, I was tempted by HD but the demo was awful. Already got Sotn ages ago since it's worth full price.

Bear vs Shark have a similarly titled song that's far better, anyhow. wink

I'm really tempted to get all the maps for HoD. if not well I know I will pick up the origins map.

EDIT: Love the Castlevania II reference. I loved that game even though I hated that message. Also this one "The morning sun has vanquished the horrible night" wink
