[gospvg]

I've added Outland & Bionic Command 2 to my queue will try the demo's of the others

[k0pp0]

bionic commando(s). Are they good? Will I enjoy them?

[gospvg]

I enjoyed them - they are great co-op games.

On the EXTREME shopping sale panel it says there will be additional one day only offers on friday as well. So these prices will be available this week only it seems.

I forgot about the Blade Kitten music. My ears are now bleeding.

How will you sleep when you have an odd number of achievements?!?

[toythatkills]

I probably won't. I'll stay awake indefinitely until I've evened them up again.

Feck me! Crysis 2 is in the games on demand section for a bargain price of ?49.99 wtf M$!

Mercury Hg - 400msp. (PSN had 0-day DLC. Hasn't appeared on xbla yet.)
Worms: Ultimate mayhem - 1200msp

MLB: Bobblehead Battle - 800msp (US and JPN only)
Not linked to the first MLB game. It's a party styled Baseball game where you aim for targets instead of Homeruns etc.

Still not sure on Wakfu. I'm going to wait to see what they have planned for Friday then prolly pick up Serious Sam if there isn't anything decent on offer.

I can't vouch for the 2nd one but the 1st one was superb. Tight gameplay and splendid (almost Rob Hubbardish) music .

Mercury Hg is awesome. There's two DLC packs (soon) but all the achievements are in the game already and there is a ton of content already, certainly more than enough for 400pts. 60 levels with four tasks each, 20 bonus levels, and some really hard challenges where you have to play a few levels in sequence with only one blob of mercury, so if you lose half of it on the first level, you'll start the second one smaller. If you play your own music, the backgrounds and your mercury pulse along with the beat. It's ace.

Also, you can race against a ghost of the top time on the leaderboard and that's me on a bunch of levels

Black Ops and Halo are the same. Is it some way to appease retail?

I very much agree with this. Thanks again for the Ghost Achievement advice earliar

I decided against Wakfu in the end. The trial was like Bastion but with more depth to its combat, but it still wasn't even slightly satisfying to play. I read some reviews which suggest unfair difficulty spikes in the full game, so I figure I wouldn't have the patience for it. I guess this sub-genre just isn't for me.
