I missed out on Crackdown some how, even though I enjoyed the demo. I'll have to try it.

And you're right Eton, Sony does have some big guns for E3. But MS has their own, especially ME 2. And also the MGS rumor has been getting bigger so maybe it will be announced at E3. That would be something.

Crackdown is one of the best 360 games. It's cheap now too.

These Marketplace points are like candy. Whenever I get some I want to spend them right away. I have about 1300 left and I've got the itch.

Needs to be more themes. All MLB has is the freaking Yankees. Lame.

You talking about the 2k9 themes? If you are they updated the themes with all the teams.

I love M:UA but this isn't much of a deal and about two years late.

Exactly! Their deals have been crap for the last 5 weeks. Whoever controls the whole ideal is either dumb as **** or doesn't know how to focus on current things. Making old stuff a deal should be automatically done and permanent. Not some weekly deal, they need to be fired.

LucasArts planning Secret of Monkey Island re-release

LucasArts is resurrecting its seminal Monkey Island adventure game franchise with a re-release of The Secret Of Monkey Island on Xbox 360. A game titled "The Secret of Monkey Island - Special Edition" was revealed today through a posting on the German USK game ratings board.

Sources have also independently (though unofficially) confirmed the existence of the project to Adventure Gamers, and indicated that it will be a downloadable game on Xbox Live Arcade rather than a retail Xbox 360 release.

Official details are expected at the Electronic Entertainment Expo, which will be held on June 2 - 4.

The Secret Of Monkey Island is the first game in the Monkey Island series, originally released on floppy disk in 1990 for Atari ST, Macintosh and PC. It is unknown whether the Special Edition will feature up-scaled graphics or entirely new artwork to take advantage of the Xbox 360's High Definition resolution.

It appears LucasArts has recently taken a renewed interest in its older intellectual properties. In February, LucasArts revealed that the upcoming Nintendo Wii action/adventure game Indiana Jones and the Staff of Kings would feature the adventure game classic Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis in its entirety as an unlockable bonus.

I finally have a use for the 490 MS points that have been sitting on my account for a year now.

Damn I could've waited two weeks if I would've known it would be cheaper. Good game, worth scooping up.

Just do like me man, wait it out. I don't believe there are that many games worth 800 points or even 1200.

I'll just tough it out, until they get lower and then pick them up. So far I got 34 arcade games like that, some as low as 200 points.

I own over 200 regular games, so I just play them, and when the XBLA games drop prices I pick them up!

Tecmo Bowl Hitting Xbox Live Arcade In Early 2010

"As much as we’d like to say this [Family Fun Football] is a completely different game, it did start out as the 'Tecmo Bowl Wii' project," a Tecmo spokesperson told me this morning. "However, given the recent trend on the Wii and its target audience, Tecmo made a business decision to switch the project into a family oriented football game. So then what happens to Tecmo Bowl? For now, we're focusing on bringing Tecmo Bowl to the Xbox LIVE Arcade [in] early 2010."
