Live Arcade Wednesday asks...are you smarter than penny arcade? (10/29)

[Queasy]

Link - You might be smarter than a 5th grader if you don't purchase this game for 1200 MS points! Yeesh. I can't believe this got priced this high. Sure, a quick google shopping search reveals the PC and DS versions to be around $15 and higher...but still.

Link - This was one of my favorite Arcade games when the 360 first came out. I was excited to hear about new content that is free. I'm a little disappointed that it only is one multiplayer level. I was hoping for more single-player boards.

Pa counds cool, been meaning to get the first one!

Banjo looks really, really nice. Plays well but it still won't be for everyone. I'm keeping my pre-order for sure after playing the demo. I should pick up that Marble Blast game. Its only 400ms points and looks like a fun game.

 

[UpgradeFailure]

Can't wait to try the banjo demo. I'm a huge Rare fan and am very excited about this game. Plus $35ish at amazon, with free BK XBLA, can't beat it

I'll have to pick up PA at somepoint, the first one was a ton of fun.
