Why don't you guys put the XBLA DLC and games in both Microsoft points and dollars? I'm a relatively new 360 owner and I'm still not sure how to translate Microsoft points into dollars.

@Tapejara
80MSP = $1
Basically all you need to remember is that;
400 = $5
800 = $10
1200 = $15
and 1600 = $20

Layton!!!

This will be the first retail new release I'll be buying since Super Mario Galaxy 2. Psyched!

Until it arrives in the mail next week, I'll probably play some Castle Crashers every now and then. Played it last night and got sucked back in. Love that green knight.

No Borderlands DLC this week? Boo. "September" is too vague of a release date.

Phat... 40 gig model, but has a 250 gig HDD. It doesn't boot up, just shut off and blink red.

@Solace - I was always annoyed by the 3 day clock system they had in the first one, and lost most hope for the second one when I found out they're bringing it back.

Picked up Birth By Sleep today with the limited edition PSP. Have to say this game is PHENOMENAL, if you're a KH fan, buy a PSP for this; it's 100% worth it.

Sucks that Birth by Sleep won't be on PSN. Disc reading on my PSP is busted. I'll have to wait for the GoW bundle to play it then.

Doing Lair of the Shadow Broker with my Insanity character.. sucks yiou can't save when ever your not in a firefight.. got to an awkward part, and how they've done it it's really sucky cover, just used charge while aiming a someone 10ft away but hit someone 40ft away & gat killed..
Afterwards I'll do Witch Hunt if it's up.. I have a powered up character just for those stupid difficulty related achievements, all the strategy stuff doesn't really make much difference on 360..
Still need to finish off Alan Wake finale & dlc 1, then I can dig in to Lara Croft, Puzzle Quest+dlc & Zeno Clash (with it's awkward lock-on during combat) ..and Two Worlds, where I'm trying for the 'go everywhere' achievements..
Me sorted for the next 7 days

@mairondil Toys R Us says the 17th, Target says the 17th, Meijer says the 17th. Where's the source for the 7th being the release date for the Sony Move titles?

If you like turn-based strategy games, and specifically Heroes of Might and Magic, I implore you to check out Kings Bounty: Armored Princess. It's been on Steam for a while, but its at retail this week.

It's a brilliant game... it's exactly what HOMM should have evolved into, but didn't.

Here's Game Informer's review (8.75/10):

I would actually recommend KB: The Legend first, and then Armored Princess. I thought The Legend was funnier and more engaging, but if people like it, they'll still want to play Armored Princess.

@ecliptic I also have a Mac and they have some really great game releasing through steam.. Valve is heading it so you know they have a pretty great line up.. Also if you have a good enough Mac and really wanna game you can always use bootcamp and VM fusion and run your Mac as a PC and play any game you want..

I'm not normally one for sports games, but I went out and bought NHL11 today and do not regret it., thanks in part to Toews (convenientlty on the cover) and co. revitalizing my lifelong love of the sport this season. The shot of him holding the cup in the disc channel picture on my dashboard is almost worth 60 bucks on it's own. The game is just a bonus.....and it is damn fun. (also, somewhat challenging getting used to the controls since the last NHL game I played was 04)

I'm really surprised Sony let the Move reviews go out so early. Even though its typically hardcore gamers that read reviews, they now have a big idea whether they will buy it or not.

I dislike the fact that NHL 11 still has old rosters. I shed a small tear when I started up my game and saw Gagne on my line, knowing hes no longer in Philly :(

Also, the fact that Kimmo is an 84 and an offensive defenseman is an absolute joke to the league. Most Flyers fans agree that he is just as good as Pronger, and is easily the best player on odd-man rushes. And when the hell will they update the pictures???? Hartnell still has his rookie picture in the game, and im fairly sure Briere is wearing a Buffalo jersey still. Has anyone else had gripes like this with their teams??? i swear EA just doesnt update the Flyers.
