Microsoft Wants You To Do Some "Extreme" Shopping

[RA92]

OT: I'm sure somewhere down the line, Gabe Newell saw this, laughed to himself, and then proceeded to give us the Witcher, Arkham Asylum, and Alpha Protocol for ten dollars each. He then distributed free copies of Portal, sold copies of Team Fortress 2 for two-fifty, and hopped on his unicorn steed and flew away to a magical land where people could make their own damn servers.

Hey hey hey, don't forget financing the development of Alien Swarm and then giving it away for free.

Darwinia+ is really good BTW

Too true good sir, but can you play comfortably with the gamepad? RTS titles are notorious in that respect.

I can play really comfortably with the gamepad, that was even one of the main reasons I bought it, it was easy to navigate and issue orders. Usually RTS are bad on consoles because of the HUD menus, like when creating units and stuff, but this game has little of it and what it has it is just simple to use.

It suprised me that I could actually enjoy playing a RTS on my Xbox. I played Halo Wars, C&C, RUSE and all of them felt like a strugle between me and my own team rather the enemy team, but in Darwinia that doesnt happen.

I know that these sales dont compare to Steam sales but I definitly wont ditch them, they are quite good.
