Xbox 360 Games: Castlevania: Lords of Shadow $9, Front Mission Evolved $9, SSX $13, Limbo/Trials HD/Splosion Man Triple Pack $8 & More + Free Shipping (expired)

That's one hell of a deal for Castlevania: Lords of Shadow. Wish the PS3 version was that cheap. I bought the PS3 version for $19.99 but I guess it's worth it since the game is only on one disc for the PS3 version.

Otomedius Excellent for $10 seems like a good deal. That's one of the reasons why I want to get a XBox 360 so I can experience all the shoot 'em ups that never made it to PS3.

how similar is this castlevania to Simon's Quest on NES?

LIMBO is worth the $8 on it's own. Great game.

Quote from sanges99 : Seconded. I had been pretty stoked (pun intended?) when it first came out so I snagged it at the first $40 sale and man was that ever a mistake. Now if they ever decided to reboot the Cool Boarders franchise, I'd probably pre-order that sucker.

Ugh, I agree. I bought it for PS3 the first time it hit $30 because I loved SSX Tricky, SSX3, and even SSX On Tour, but with this game, I felt like I was constantly fighting the physics engine. Your character sticks to EVERY surface on the course, it seems, and always throws off any line I might have.

I hope it's nothing like Simon's Quest. I'm actually looking forward to playing Lords of Shadow.

I bought this a while ago from BestBuy and the code inside it was invalid. It also had an expiration date for the end of 2011 so you might want to mention that this may be YMMV.

Definitely not a bot. I am a real live person and mod for the site. I love finding the best deals for my fellow SD'ers.

For those that are wondering why the 360 version of Castlevania LoS is cheaper than the PS3, its mainly because the 360 version has 2 discs. After you unlock certain items/skills in the game you can go back to previous missions and find other items with the new items/skills you have acquired.

If you are on one of the final 7 chapters and want to go back to one of the first 6 chapters you will need to swap discs, even if you have the game installed on the 360 HD. Its an annoyance. Other than that the games are virtually identical with the PS3 edging out a couple extra FPS in some heavy action sections. Most would never notice a difference.

I payed $20 for LoS a year or so ago and it was money well spent. This game is great.

Thanks, bought Limbo/Trials HD/Splosion Man Triple Pack. repped.

I would say the game is more like God of War, Devil May Cry or the new Ninja Gaiden series.

I highly recommend Castlevania too. If you like hack n slash with some RPG elements and a good story, definitely pick it up, especially at this price. I played it on the 360 and had no issues...the only drawback being that it's two discs, so once you get new skills and start jumping back and forth between early chapters and late chapters, you'll be switching discs a lot. Or just do what I did and wait until near the end then go back and sweep through disc 1 for everything then finish the game.

Sweet!!

What a nice guy. I know someone mentioned Otomedius, the collector's out there might like to know that the "special edition" version is also on sale. What's the difference? I have no idea.

Some other titles I had in my cart are worth mentioning...

Lollipop Chainsaw
Resident Evil: Mercenaries

in 4 castlevania...worth it

Tempted to get the triple pack for Limbo and Splosion Man...

Maybe this is a stupid question...Is Castlevania similar in style to Diablo?
