I'll see if anyone I know still has a copy I can borrow instead of possibly wasting my money

Finally bit on Max Payne 3 after seeing it on sale several times over between Amazon and Steam. heh
Never played PDZ, know of its reputation, but still tempted to spend the $3 on it just because it's conjuring up nostalgia for the 360 launch.

Yes.
edit: I didnot enjoy crysis 1 or 2 on pc, so take my opinion with a grain of salt, because I know alot of peeps who did enjoy those games.
Of course you do, you're Jason Statham.

The Crysis 1 controls on 360 works like Crysis 2/3 on 360. The suit abilities are integrated into the controls instead of manually changing suit modes like in the original PC version. So instead of toggling into strength mode and then punching someone, throwing an object, or jumping high, you just hold the associated button to preform a power version of that action. Same with Speed. Stealth and armor modes have dedicated buttons, I believe.
This may seem worse to some, but I prefer it this way.

Not actually that important
GOLD only?
No, not exclusive to gold members.
I may consider it actually if it's like that.
Man, there's a lot of games I'd actually kinda want to double dip on, but I think I'd rather keep it to those that are distinct in some way on 360, namely games that lacked controller support on PC. So something like Prey's not worth it, Crysis 1 handled it terribly, and DA:O is absolutely a kb/m game but it may be worth seeing just how it handled with a controller. Then there's Divinity II, that's straight up an action RPG designed partially with consoles in mind, but they kind of took the Bioware approach of not putting controller options into PC anyway, which I can better understand from their point of view versus Bioware that went primarily to consoles.
Its funny because Prey is $3 in cash or if you pay in MSP its 160 on the Australian store.
When you bring a price point low enough madness can take hold. "I can buy Duke Nukem Forever for $1? Ahahaha WELL WHY THE FUCK NOT ALWAYS BET ON DUKE."

This kind of talk used to be exclusive to Steam threads. If MS and Sony keep emulating them, God help us all.
I'm ecstatic at the idea of using dollars now.
At least with MSP you can get deals on ebay and that $99 becomes like '$65'. All changing to dollars does is further ensure i won't buy a Xbone 80.
Yeah, they're horribly US focused. Not that Sony and Nintendo don't have similar issues, but it seems to go to a more absurd extreme with Microsoft. Probably because whenever they get exclusive stuff for home regions they don't waste time trying to push them at E3 or whatever.I'm ecstatic at the idea of using dollars now.

I already do this with steam games! I'm doomed!

All I want is a nice deal on Witcher 2 but, in the meantime, I'll go ahead and grab Divinity, Crysis, and Red Alert.

How horrible is Perfect Dark Zero? I feel like it's hard to pass up for $3.
If you have a TV with 120hz, make sure to turn it off at all times because its shit, ruins the look of movies and games, and adds input lag.
Huh. :|
Maybe I'll get Brothers In Arms, I waited for it to show up in the last Steam sales but it never did.
Nope. Love the look. It just isn't good for games with shit frame-rates. And the input lag is fine for me in BF3 MP.
Uh, Divinity II got a 7.5 from IGN? It's the way superior Developer's Cut btw. Tons more content.
Oh, right right, I thought it was a review of the full game, not different versions.
Not disputing the game is bad or not, but the 4.8 when looking at the Wiki struck me as odd.

The upgraded version runs wayyyy better on 360 than the original. Not to say there isn't some trademark jank in there, but it's practically like night and day.
Grabbed Crysis. Nearly grabbed Dragon Age Origins, but I hesitated since this was one of the cases as I recall where the PS3 version was better, and so in the end I'll just wait and see if that gets a PSN deal or whatever. Crysis is the opposite though, so definitely that on 360.
Fuck. Guess I'm going to buy it.
Shit. I paid $60 for it just a few months back.
Nature of the beast.

When I click on Borderlands 2 for $9.99, it comes up $39.99 still on the console and even on the Microsoft site? Maybe have to wait?
