    Contre Jour was top notch, any of these worthy enough to buy?
    Defo Geodefense. Any game that is £0.79 is worth it anyway imo
    I wouldn't go that far. I bought Assassin's Creed on sale for $1 and it's still a terrible game with horrendous controls. I'd rather play a decent to great game for $3.

    Contre Jour had my eye when it came out, but considering I played a similar enough game when it was called Roll In The Hole, I thought $3 was asking a little much. Definitely going to buy that one, going to try out iStunt 2, geoDefense Swarm and Doodle Jump because hey, a dollar.

    Hmm... It is a bit different. Its going to take me a while to finish.

    What are these dollar things im seeing, thought TA had an international user base.
    Windows Phone games are sold in local currency, not in MSP. Since TA doesn't have the time to track down the price in 30-some currencies, they simply picked the most popular one.

    Would you rather they had no prices listed at all?
    Grr. Argh.

    Personally, I use the symbol. Not sure what the real purpose of it actually is, but I use it to mean Euros dance

    Yes, but do not buy those if you want Gamerscore. Only WP8 has achievements.

    WP7 versions are better (more levels and such) but WP8 Versions have achievement.... which I will take over levels any day.

    Ah good to know, thanks. Kinda seems a bit silly tbh if they can port the game over then why no achievements?

    Not really sure what all the fuss was about Contre Jour, but I'll get it at this price.

    For anyone wondering, don't get Mush. It's pretty much the most boring game ever. Like, "not even worth 200 easy gamerpoints" boring. The character crawls along at a snail's pace and there's lots of backtracking through lots of samey-looking sections and like one music track. Awful game.
