    75% off of Osmos (PC)

    This week's Games for Windows Live Deal of the Week sees the indie hit Osmos (GFWL) taking a massive hit in price, being reduced a whole 75% from its original price of $10 (800 MSP) to only $2.50 (200 MSP). However, as with all GFWL games, pricing can vary from region to region, so boot up the GFWL client and see how much it'll run you.

    The deal will run from today, November 11th, to next Wednesday, November 17th.

    Enter the ambient world of Osmos: elegant, physics-based gameplay, dreamlike visuals, and a minimalist, electronic soundtrack. Your objective is to grow by absorbing other motes. Propel yourself by ejecting matter behind you. But be wise: ejecting matter also shrinks you. Relax… good things come to those who wait. Progress from serenely ambient levels into varied and more challenging worlds. Confront attractors, repulsors and intelligent motes with similar abilities and goals as you.

    Do ALL GFWL games have achievements? Or only some of them?

    At least it's worth zero. I've wanted this game since release and missed out on the 400 point deal will probably take advantage of this.

    The last time I bit for one of these GFWL deals it was Where's Waldo and the last achievement still keeps glitching on me.

    So with that I will pass on this

    This is a pretty good game. Gets difficult fast, though.

    I picked this one up via steam awhile back, it seems kinda fun at first, but gets brutally hard in a hurry. I'd say avoid.

    All games with GFWL support have achievements. Not all games sold via the GFWL client have GFWL support.
    Grr. Argh.

    Where do you think you are right now? There are tons of completionists on this site, myself included, that won't touch this game because you can never complete it. I was considering getting it, but that glitched 0 pointer was the dealbreaker (A lot of GFWL games have glitchy achievements). If you're gonna argue against this viewpoint, don't bother.

    I was going to get it but if it is a hard game I think I will pass on it.

    Great game on the iPhone. Don't know how much better it is on PC, if at all.
