I already grabbed Moon Diver, Clash of Heroes, and Shank, but I may well get Path of Go and Hydrophobia today too.

Is Go an easy game to get to grips with?

[Bort]

I was planning on getting Go at some point so this just expedited it.

Would have been nice to have some of the Pinball FX bits reduced but it was a good sale if you didn't already have the good stuff.

Decided against picking up anything else just because they were cheaper and snaggled MLB Bobblehead Pro yesterday.

Do you have a US account? I'm not seeing MLB on xbox.com

Yep, play on my main PAL one and have a bunch of different one for the various regions. It's US and japang only.

As for Go, simple rules but it can be hard as balls. The xbla version suffered from movement taking a lot of time. Not sure if they patched it out.

240msp is a bargain for hydrophobia. Easily ?3's worth of game there

Incredibly easy to learn, but (wait for it) difficult to master.

For me, the deals on these last couple of weeks have been great! Last week I've picked up Bionic Commando Rearmed, Outland, The Maw and Trouble Witches Neo! and, if I had more points to spare, I would have gotten Islands of Wakfu, Shank and possibly even Yar's Revenge as well. This week I'm getting Carcassonne and Catan. I have the Carcassonne board game but I've never managed to give it a try... Whenever I have friends around, we always end up playing something else (mostly Dokapon Kingdom on the Wii, which I would love to see on XBLA).

It's a shame the two DLC expansion packs for Carcassonne are so expensive at 300 points each. Also, even though quantity and quality aren't necessarily related, the fact they're each a measly 124 KB makes me feel that the publisher is being a bit greedy with these.

[Fader209]

I thought most people had Carcassonne for free at some point? That's how I got mine anyhoo.
