Doesn't Rayman Legends come with basically a remaster of Rayman Origins? I've never played Origins but I guess it might be worth waiting for Legends to get the ultimate version of the game?

It comes with a best of selection of levels from Origins. Not with all the levels and Origins is definitely worth it. I played Origins on 360, PS3, Vita and 3DS all to 100%. I love this game to death.

Uses a different engine to Too Human?
Another crappy DoTW to pass on. If the Marvel games were $5 cheaper, I would've bit on a few games.
Already have and beat Rayman: Origins . It's worth it for the wonderful OST alone. Platforming is pretty damn good too. It's absolutely one of this gen's best OST's. It's definitely worth it for $10.

They were forced to remove Too Human because the courts said they stole the engine from Epic, what does that have to do with X-Men?

Wolverine's definitely worth it at the sale price, one of the best licensed games I've played. Web of Shadows, Amazing and Destiny could do with being much cheaper though.

For sure. I played the demo and enjoyed it. Pouncing on enemies felt pretty satisfying. The only thing I heard that's incredibly frustrating is keeping track of all the collectibles since the game doesn't tell you how much you have.
I seem to recall reading an article by Dan Hsu in which he interviewed the devs and asked them if they'll ever patch a collectible ticker but they said they had no plans. Not that it matters since I don't care much about collectibles in most games these days.

I thought x-men destiny used the UE3 engine also.
It's like Portal x Cthulhu.

There is like 6 games there I haven't heard of until now:
Magrunner
YAIBA
Obscure
How To Survive
Hot Wheels World's Best Driver

YAIBA, How To Survive, Magrunner look interesting, at least from their short blurbs.

Copied from a Eurogamer article: According to page 41 of the case court document, spotted by NeoGAF user Xenon, Silicon Knights has until 10th December 2012 to destroy any software it built with Unreal Engine 3, including the code for Too Human, The Box/Ritualyst, The Sandman, X-Men: Destiny and Siren in the Maelstrom.

Web of Shadows if you're after a sandbox Spidey game, Dimensions if you're after a linear Spidey game.
I enjoyed Web of Shadows a lot more as it has a lot more replay value with it's good/bad options, but Dimensions was pretty fun too...

I'm pretty sure it is. I'm from EU and downloaded it with an US account a couple of months back.

I hope TMNT is good.
Also, Charlie Murder get my attention for $10. Hopefully there is plenty of music to keep it fresh. The PvP and RPG element s are interesting, I wish they would elaborate.

listen to the mad man
The demo for Brothers was excellent. No text whatsoever, no English VA (just gibberish mid-european), no on-screen tutorials after the first 2 seconds, core idea comes through immediately and works well. The puzzles presented in the demo, while simple, show that the premise will pay dividends. It's got a lovely sort of european old fairytale feel to it. Really great experience.
I'm still deciding whether or not to buy it on XBLA or Steam (since, you know, no BC). I've got about $100 in MS cred but not sure if I actually want to buy anything that I know I'll end up having to rebuy later on another platform. But when the purchase prompt popped up, I definitely felt really good about it being worth the asking price.

Not sure if it's a perm or they just forgot about it on tuesday but,
Special Forces: Team X - 400msp (was 800)
Special Forces: Team X - 400msp (was 800)
Absolutely do not buy! It's a busted, broken mess that's just barely playable and Zombie Studios are being complete assholes about the 360 version. PC version has been patched and receives responses on Twitter and whatnot but the 360 one was completely abandoned on day 1 and Zombie blames Ubisoft and Ubi blames Zombie. Just the worst kind of publishing situation that should not be supported with anyone's money.
Same exact boat. But since we have a date for the PC version, I can wait a month for sure. It certainly was very tempting to straight out buy it on XBLA though.

its XBLA, they sometimes have the wrong banner on placeholder boxart
So...I have around 4000 MS points that have been on my account for a while. I have not been using my box for a while, but just decided to fire it up.
What's the news for XBLA? Will it be shut down in the near future? Should I use my points?
It's just too many games out there...I have no idea where to start off.

It's tough to say depending on how they release it. I tried to find an answer for you and in learning more about the game currently only one of the three episodes has been released and it's sold as a season pass for $25 ($30 for Deluxe Edition) and that gets you the remaining episodes as they release. So unless they do something similar on Xbox Live they're either just selling the first part by itself as The Raven on Xbox 360, at which point it shouldn't cost $25 for the single part or the other two parts aren't far behind and it'll come out together on Xbox Live.
Suffice it to say I honestly don't know after poking through a bunch of sites including many of their own.
Also, reviews are all over the place. Saw Gamespot gave it a 5.0, IGN a 9.0, and Joystiq 4/5. And while one review called it a fast Adventure game another mentioned how slow the game is. Suppose that's just different expectations. It was compared favorably to classic mystery stories, though, so that's fairly impressive and actually got me rather interested.
Edit: And sort of beaten. I'm still unclear with it being XBLA how they're releasing it. If they release each part as a separate $10 download that's close to the PC pricing and could be a good way to get the different parts? Whatever.
Points will be converted to real money which will then have an expiration date of a year from the conversion, I believe. XBLA will no longer be distinguished differently on the Xbox One and everything will just be put up together, retail titles along with smaller releases. Also, none of them are backwards compatible which is why some people are hesitant to buy many Live Arcade titles now as they seem them only being playable for the next few months. If you're a day one Xbox One buyer consider that. If you intend to hold onto your 360 and have it plugged in for quite some time it's much less of an issue.
Thanks!
As I said, I have no idea where to start. Do you (or anyone else) know if there are any good Metroidvania games or Open World games on XBLA. Is 'I am alive' any good?
