Puzzle Quest: Galactrix is budget release on DS priced at $30. So for $10 less you get the exact game, I don't see this as absurd pricing.

 

just because wii and ds owners are continually overcharged for games available for cheaper on xbl does not mean that its ok to raise the prices.

trunks - that's just the way the market has worked. Prices have indeed gone up...Mainly by a mixture of increased quality, and less VC-esque ports.

 

 I did enjoy some of the old games being rereleased such as Sonic and Doom. Come to think of it, those were probably the only old games I ever bought on the Arcade. One thing I have noticed is that there hasn't been any free arcade games released in a while.

Doritos Dash of Destruction was released in November, for free.

 



Back from the dead, I'm afraid.

Major Nelson has posted the sales for this week. Galactrix comes in 5th while Flock failed to make the top 10. To me looks like both games came out at the wrong price point.
