Fun With 400 Microsoft Points

[MetalMachine]

as the title suggests, I'm looking for a way to use this paltry sum of points to the best of their abilities

any ideas?

If you have Borderlands and none of the DLC, they have a DLC sale going on.
Got myself the Secret Armoury of General Knoxx for 400 points. Not sure of the sale is still going but it might be a weekend thing.

unfortunately I got rid of my copy of borderlands (got boring to me, didn't realize it would have DLC, oh well)

There are some decent indie games out there if you want to try those. I would personally recommend "Breath of Death VII", "Beat Hazard", or "I MAED A GAME W1TH ZOMB1ES!!!1"

Kodu. It's a game-creating program in the Indie Games section, it uses a visual code to be able to make pretty much any kind of game. Third-person shooter, racing, RPG, anything. Try out the demo to see what it's like.

how much is splosion man right now?

and I'm not really into the whole avatar thing, if I wanted that I would just play on my Wii

Geometry Wars. While the sequel is better, the first is still fantastic, and is a great deal.

thanks, I'l check out the trial, still open to suggestions though

Buy 800 more and get Hydro Thunder Hurricane

NOT DOOM.

I made that mistake.

Never again.

I'd reccomend some indie games (unless you're hooked on your gamercore) i recently enjoyed Shoot1Up which is a top down shooter with the factor that hwnever you gain a life the ship i added straight into the battle up to 30 and you can expand or retract your ships in a circle to increase your range and amount of firepower.

XBLA has a greatest hits section where all the games are 400 microsoft points, if any of those games interest you then you know what to do. The only one I have is assault heroes which is pretty fun but nothing special. You could also save the points and then spend less money when you find something you really want. There is also plenty of DLC available for 400 points and if you can I would recommend buying another 800 points and getting shadow complex. All in all there are plenty of options if you know where to look.

Edit: If you want to reply to something someone said on the forums it is better (in that the person is aware of your response) to hit the quote button instead of making a new post completely. I'm not trying to criticize you just offering some friendly advice to a newcomer.

 

[MetalMachine]

thanks! didn't think of the Greatest Hits section, will definitely look into that

To be honest, I had a lot of fun with UNO. It's a fun little time waster if you have nothing better to do, and I met some pretty cool people through it. The community has its assholes, of course, but that's with any game.

well dead rising case zero comes out at the end of Augus. And its only 400 points, and thats what im saving my 400 for

Indie games. A bunch of them come in at 80 points, so you can get quite a few games for that small price. There's a geometry wars clone that comes in at 80 points, and some interesting puzzle games that go as high as 240.
