Mega Man 9, Mega Man 10, and Final Fight: Double Impact are $5 each (50% off). Five bucks is about the most Final Fight should've been in the first place, especially since the other game it's bundled with (Magic Sword) is essentially worthless, albeit very pretty. Real missed opportunity, that Final Fight port - even a few decent Achievements would've gone a long way towards freshening the experience, but the most difficult one is an outright insulting "finish using 18 credits or less"... what kind of mongoloid were they targeting?? I blame anybody who ever complained an Achievement was "too hard": you ought to be ashamed of yourselves.
Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix is $7.50 (50% off), and worth every penny. Probably my favourite fighting game... ever, even though it bizarrely DOESN'T let you play with the original low-resolution, high-detail arcade graphics, and smells enough like white people that the Japs won't touch it. (Sadly, the nearly-as-excellent Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo HD Remix is among the majority of Capcom XBLA games NOT on sale this week. Still a bargain at its regular price of $10, though, especially since it includes the Dreamcast port's excellent Columns- and Panel-de-Pon-inspired alternate modes in addition to the Puyo Puyo 2-by-way-of-Baku Baku Animal base game.)
Street Fighter III: Third Strike Online Edition is a rock-bottom $3.75 (75% off). I don't have this one yet, but I'm sorely tempted - the only thing holding me back is the fact I have exactly $8.12 in my stupid Microsoft fun-wallet, and there's fuck all else to buy for less than $5. They can't switch to a PayPal-based system fast enough :/ |
