To take advantage of this deal I'd have to buy points from a region other than my own on a secondary account. If I do that I'll be able to play them on my main account with everything working properly, right?

Even if I bought what amounts to $150 worth of points, I'm still being judicious and a cheap bastard to make them last for the really good stuff or cheap deals. I'll buy Tetris Splash when it goes down to $5, but not for $10. Space Invaders is a maybe, though.

I'm definitely picking up Worms, but I got a pretty extensive backlog to work through besides that.

However, I HIGHLY recommend Grip Shift. It is a great cart racer that mixes elements of both Mario Kart and San Fransico Rush. Has great race and trick modes and online play. It was a steal at $10. With these points it's like $5.70.

Also, if you have some friend around, Small Arms is really fun for 400 points (@ $2.75 with these points).

But I already have most of the great 360 games. But bring on the GOOD Xbox Deals of the Week with some $5 games and stuff like Splosion Man, and Epic's 2.5D Metriodvania game. Those will get me to spend some of these points.

Sucks that nobody ever has Wii Points or PSN Cards on sale.

Two fantastic games and some of the best on Live. I highly recommend

1) Gripshift - Mario Kart + San Fransico Rush with tons of tracks with jumps and loops.

2) Portal - If you haven't played it already elsewhere.

3) Gunstar Heroes - Great classic Genesis shooter.

I agree with the first two, but can't recommend Gunstar Heroes. XBLA version was my first time with the game and it was too darn short; finished it on normal in 40 minutes, was a little disappointed.

It is short, but it's fun to play through multiple times, especially with friends. And it's less than $3 with these points.

I guess you're right. I take back my last post, buy away.
 
Hmm damn for some reason eBay logged me out of my account when I clicked the paypal 'buy it now' button.

Will the paypal transaction be enough for him to see my email address? The email I use for paypal is the one I would want him to send the code to...

Lot of people still playing?
 
Killer said:
Thank you guys.

I'll check out Gripshift and see if i like it.

The most fun thing about it to me was finding all the crazy shortcuts and locating the coins and hidden items on the tracks. The controls when airborn will feel a little floaty at first, but it allows you to have fantastic control over your vehicle.

The game has a ton of content in it too. It was originally a full release PSP game and they've only improved it from that version.

I haven't played it recently, but unfortunately, it was pretty dead when I tried to find matches. But if you have friends that you can convince to buy it or already have it, you'll have a blast.

But I spent a huge number of hours just playing through all the single player. There are not only a lot of races, there are also items to collect in each level and all sorts of stunt challenges to complete. Unlocking all the extras takes a long time.

With all these points PLEASE BUY ROCKET RIOT!!
The mp is a blast but the game needs a bigger community.

I kinda liked the demo but the game seemed a little shallow. As I said, I'm cheap. At 400 points it would have been an instant purchase.

Not going to lie once I finish the single player(5-7 hours) I'll probably never need to go back but the multiplayer is surprisingly lots o' fun.

Same here, I'd rather hold my points for quality games I know are coming.
 
Grab Switchball while you're at it.

Also:

Pac-Man CE
Golf: Tee It Up
Age Of Booty
Banjo Kazooie
Banjo Tooie
NHL 3-On-3 Arcade
Dishwasher: Dead Samurai
Outrun Online Arcade
 
I agree with you guys on Rocket Riot. Really didn't like it at first, then it grew on me a bit. Played with 2 other friends and after about an hour of playing I was already bored with it. Pretty shallow game in my opinion.

EDIT: Check these out

Geometry Wars 1 & 2
Banjo Kazooie \ Tooie
3 on 3 NHL (SO AWESOME)
Marble Blast Ultra

That's the point though right, sometimes I just want to play something online for 5 or 10 minutes, don't want to have to commit myself for too long.

A bargain champion. Lots of bang for your buck at around $2.80. It's an inverted HD Monkey Ball with more precise controls and power ups. Granted it doesn't have quite the charm of Monkey Ball, but it's literally a couple of bucks.

I just bought some points. Here's hoping it all works out well for me too!
 
So this new Worms is the one with all the cool weapons? The stuff they decided to keep off the first release despite many people asking for it and many reviewers complaining about it?

This is the "True" Worms release hopefully, the one all the fans have been asking for.

I guess I ought to just give up on Things on Wheels then, it's never coming out. There is a nice looking stand in on PSN due soon anyway so I'll make do.
