I've won 2 downloadable games so far, Ms. Splosion Man and The Maw (either of those any good?). Hopefully I'll at least win a free month of Xbox Live before it's over.


Splosion Man is prob one of the better platformers of this generation and The Maw is creative with a good design.  The Maw is ok overall, nothing really special though.  Microsoft Twisted Pixel made both games but I'd say Splosion Man is  overall a much better game than the maw.

Its still 15 bucks after 4 years?! It must be good.

It's the closest thing you'll get to super metroid, which is probably my favorite game of all time. The only thing that comes close is castlevania symphony of the night.


Shadow Complex is a metroidvania game, actually.

By the way has anybody heard if Microsoft is going to try and get digital games working on Xbox One from X360? I would love to be able to play Banjo, Battleblock theater, Shadow complex, and countless other titles I own on XBO.

They would have to be remade/ported same as retail games AFAIK.

But anyway, a great way to fill up the library would to be have a "classic" release once a week, all the gems from last gen.

Damn -_-  That is a real disapointment if true.  I was hoping they could do it by using cloud or Rio (which i will still hope for).

I really want to see some creative stuff with Kinect.


I love this kind of stuff, but it's been done before.

Super Meat Boy and Castle Crashers would have me throwing my money at my X1. I haven't turned on my 360 since the 22nd, its bad lol.
