XBL Sale Roundup: April 8th, 2014

go figure castle crashers goes on sale after i waited a decade ughhhhh too bad i paid full price for it ,

home run stars looks like it might be a pain to complete

Defenitely picking up dragons dogma! Missed it last time, but won't this time!

Putting Alan Wake on sale might mean that it's gonna be one fo the Games with GOld soon. I'll pick it up then. I sold the game and now I miss it. But I'll wait a month or two.... and see.

Im JiggyPoo said:yes well worth it. i got it around xmas on disc for 20 and even then it was well worth it.

story was interesting and combat was alot of fun. The ability to create combos was very kool. Overall very solid game just a tad short.

i would buy it again but already 1ked it

For some bizarre reason Halo Wars is $11.54 in Canada

I'm not going to lie this is actually a decent sale

i can finally spend some of this money MS has been saving me with all the past crappy deals... probably gonna get RE5 to finish a few achievements i missed

you should note that fire pro and charlie murder have unobtainable achievements and that full house poker has discontinued achievements

They could've included the crackdown DLC in the sale. I can't be the only one who's been waiting 4-5 years for that!

It's interesting seeing so many people in this thread who actually recommend Remember Me. I don't think I've seen a completely terrible game get defended this much since Risen 2... maybe Gothic 2. Anyone thinking of buying it might want to read some reviews for it, I normally do a few professional ones and then a few user reviews, since the general consensus seems to be that its somewhere between fairly decent with a few interesting ideas all the way to being a mish-mash of half-baked ideas that all individually suck and come together to create a real PoS.

That said this is a pretty damn good sale even if there's nothing here for me beyond Castlestorm. Actually, how is Battleblock Theater? There's no reviews for it on the site.

SlavenBOSS said:Same here I absolutely love Alan Wake. It has a great story/presentation and the atmosphere is very creepy. 5 bucks is a steal for this game.

JMJimmy said:I was looking into this a bit more and it ends up that Canadian prices on some GonD titles are up to 150% higher than in the US.

Halo Wars: $34.99 vs $14.99
Gears of War 3: $39.99 vs $19.99
Gears of War 2: $29.99 vs $19.99
Halo Reach: $39.99 vs $29.99

All of these titles are available in Canada at an MSRP from Microsoft of $19.99 retail.

Marc Pilkington said:I highly recommend it. It's not a perfect game by any means but it was a very refreshing. It is a pretty simple completion.

Hmmm....I think I may finally get Castle Crashers. Dare I?

Battleblock Theater, Resident Evil 5, possibly Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet thank you. When will I have time to play any of them? No idea...

Ah! I bought the Gears 3 Season pass at $15 during the Games for Gold Promotion! Looking into Castle Crashers....

NUROK HOWLER said:Thanks for the heads up I was going to pick these up, but I'll take a pass now. Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet for me.

smakzillaa said:It has happened before, Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts was a GwG in September 2013 and March 2014. If Halo Wars (on sale for $20USD in New Zealand :P) is GwG, they will have to offer Germany and Japan another alternative title.

Debating on whether to get Charlie Murder (Have hope it will be patched) and Perfect Dark. Any thoughts?

Devil May Cry Collection and Alan Wake sound good to me... hello backlog!

I should've waited with buying Gears 2 until now.
I got it when GoW 1 was the game with gold for 50% off, could have saved myself a bit of money.
Some of the games in the 'everyone' list were free for gold members not too long ago.
Is someone not paying attention, or are they reducing the benefits of the Games with Gold program? Either way, it doesn't seem too smart
