As the title really - if you had 21k of M$ points, what would you spend them on?

In all honesty i couldn't spend all that in a lifetime on XBL. Most of the down loadable content for games is too gimmicky and most other stuff doesn't impress.

However, if you have money (well ms points) to burn I'd highly highly recommend the singler player video guides for gears of war. They are very useful

fair dos - the only 1 i aint sure of then in the list of rp2000 would be texas hold em as i already have wsop full game

SF2 on XBL is brilliant, Just like the old one, Which is in no way a bad thing.

It's playable over live, And I used to be so good at it. But after playing some people, I don't know if i was as good as I remember now.

Get the demo for free first. I tried a bit of metal slug 3 earlier (the demo) and tbh it doesn't seem as good as a I remember, and overpriced compared to other versions of metal slug available. Having said That I only have a balance of 870 MSP, you have 20 times as many!!

I cant believe I flew thru 6k of downloads in a matter of minutes - its bloomin scary i tell thee!

yes on some games. I chose the gears of war ones in particular as they are so useless and expensive - aka avoid them. You can get guides fee off the tube, or my new fav site - nextgenwalkthroughs.com

I would probably hold out for Rez & Ikaruga when / if they come out. Also, Every Extended Extra looks like the sorta game I could spend a happy few hours on

(just need a 360 lol

)

Alty · 2 Jan 2008 at 16:29

what is every extended extra?

never played it but looks great & had a good review on the 1up Show from what I remember

monkeyspank · 2 Jan 2008 at 18:29

you try and get chains by steering your little ship into things that fly on screen. the more you chain together the more points you get. When you get a certain amount of points you get another extend (life) which get used up each time you blow up. You can speed up the play. It's a bit like lumines but totally different dynamic.

Metalface Mark · 2 Jan 2008 at 18:42

Lumines is the best game on XBLA (in my opinion), its also the dearest i think, but well worth the 1200 points. I dont play much else other than this on a regular basis, but SWOS, Track and Field, Tempest, Contra are all worth buying as well.

Fahrenheit is on there isn't it? If it is get that.

Luminees dropped to 800 points. Annoyingly my last few scores don't seem to upload (they are stored on local machine, but not uploaded to leaderboards). I am sure they had this problem when the game was 1st released, as well.
