What can i buy? I would rather spend it on games than my avatar. I already have Trials hd and the bonus pack, stimulus package and sonic the hedgehog 2biggrin

I was thinking about zombie apocalypse, have any of you played it?

My money would be on Shadow Complex.

Brilliant side scroller. A fair few hours to complete aswell.

Or if you have grand theft auto get the ballad of gay tony.

I played the demo and got bored of it pretty quickly, I decided not to buy based on that TBH. BF1943 still gets a play.

What games do you have already? is there any DLC you haven't got yet?

Can't account for taste but I did buy it off the back of the demo and love it. Plus as it's under 4 quid on half price week, where can you go wrong?! Classic shooter made by Konami, brilliant fun imo. Online is great fun with the various differnt modes as well

Toy soldiers is like hogs of war on the old PS if i remember correctly. Like worms but in 3D, and without any of the cool weapons....there a thread on hear about it somewhere i think. Ah just found the thread, looks like i'm wrong, it;s like tower defense -

"it plays like a base defense game on the internet.

place weapons in designated areas and protect your 'toy box' against waves of enemies. you can also take control of the weapons which is a necesity as the AI is pants and tends to ignore enemies once they are behind the guns so you have to manually turn them around.

downloaded the full game yesterday. steep learning curve but relatively enjoyable.

oh you get to fly biplanes and bombers too."

Sounds a bit command and conquerish to me and i've never been a fan of that. Think i'll give it a miss.
Cant find any decent racers on the marketplace either, I downloaded outrun a few weeks back just for old times sakes. Its exactly how i remember

Whereas I hammered Toy Soldiers for at least a week trying to get all of the achievements, it's fun for a bit of brain out entertainment I thought. I enjoy upgrading things though.

Worth noting I didn't play Zombie thingy online, I expect that could possibly make the game TBH.

Perfect Dark (the original, not Zero). It;s got 3 maps from Goldeneye 64 and when you do the first single player mission you get the classic Goldeneye aimer.

It's awesome!

Perfect Dark you say? Will have to check that out! I swear someone should just do a new version of Goldeneye with better graphics, would be so cool.

I never actually played PD that much but I loved Goldeneye. While I was a student I must have played it for about 20 hours a week. For 5 years.

The thing with forza is i played it to over level 40 and then i had to change my xbox. Recovered my gamertag but i have to start the game from the beginning again and i havent got the patience now.

Goldeneye would be ace on the xbox

Not sure how much it is anymore, but Geometry Wars 2 is far and away the best arcade game on offer - has hoovered up a lot of my time and is the only game that i have ever bothered getting all the acchievements for.

Trials HD is another that is well woth a look - pretty much a copy of all the tilty bike flash games on the web, but with great graphics and really clever levels.

Shadow Complex is good, wasn't personally my cup of tea, but I can think of worse games that cost far more - give the demo a bash.
