Now I could be wrong, but I swear these were all a Summer of Arcade together at one point.
I miss the good old days of WW2 Call of Duty

Also don't forget about Ms. Splosion Man and Raskulls for 400 MSP a piece found via the Scratch and Win section of the app "Sales and Specials". The thing you can "win" is The Maw but...afterwards, you can continue on to find those two sales which are ONLY available there (otherwise they'd be 800 on the dashboard and xbox.com marketplace).

Anyways, I picked up Hydrophobia since 200 MSP is a true steal.

What price point did Hydrophobia start out at? Wasn't it 1200 MSP? 200 MSP for it is a great deal.

The only thing that would appeal to me is Hydrophobia, but I already own that. 200msp is a great deal for it for anyone who doesn't have it already. Has anyone played Toy Soldiers? Is it worth 600msp?

Hydrophobia was actually worth 800 points too. I own the first 3 games, and i bought Toy soldiers + DLC + The Splatters now. 1400 points..swosh. ;)
