If you liked Streets of Rage and co-op gaming I think it's worth getting...

It has a lot of character, but it's a fairly simple game really.

[PeteJ]

So is Castle Crashers genuinely recommended then? I tried the demo on release and thought it pretty poor as a scrolling fighter went so never bothered but if people think it's worth sticking with I'm willing to splash out at the reduced price.

I thought it was great, gets better once you've levelled up your character a bit. Never played it online as it's more of a local multiplayer title, and it excels at that in my opinion!

Today's deal is mean to be BF 1943 for 600msp. Interesting point raised at HUKD is that it's also part of EA's current offer where if you buy 3 games on demand / bits of DLC - http://www.ea.com/news/xbox-live-holiday-discounts

Not sure if the today-only deal will invalidate it, but if it doesn't you could potentially get two bits of Mass Effect DLC for free on top.

Anyone apply for an avatar Chocobo accessory? Check your emails now and redeem your code.

The Chocobo is much smaller than I was expecting...

The chocobo is ****.

I was expecting to be able to sit on it or something. Not a little fat pigeon that is there.

Oh well. Free I guess.

[Family Fry]

I was expecting a large chocobo, until I saw the dude in FF13 with the tiny baby chcobo sitting in his hair. I'm just disappointed it doesnt sit on your head.

has there ever been a sale for GTA IV downloadable episodes, I already have the first one (L&D) and wondering whether to get the second dlc from the Marketplace or just buy the Episodes disc

[EvilBoris]

It's the kind of thing that I cNt imagine bring on sale anytime soon. The disc does have a load of music that you don't get for your Dlc money if that makes it any easier to decide

[Brats]

LatD has already been on special for a week. It was reduced from 1,600 points to 1,200 last year.

So the same will probably happen with Gay Tony at some point this year.

[EvilBoris]

Consider me owned

It's decent, especially when you start tearing stuff up after you learn a few moves and find some decent weapons, and moreso after you start unlocking all the characters.

I need more lvl99 brethren to take on insane mode, until then I'm levelling The King (healer) as he's an essentiality for that.

[k0pp0]

Brought it when it was cheapo the other day and played for about 20 minuntes.. Quite nice.

Mr Fallows, when I become levelled I'll join you.. (Might take a while though )

[Mayhem]

I think I completed the game, played some more in co-op and got most of the weapons and such. Can't remember where I finished level wise, probably mid to high 20s. You've gone as far as level 99 David? That is insane...
