@TXPaladin You are correct. I got it and the 14 new maps are fun and challenging. It is a little expensive since there isn’t a lot of new content. I’m a fan of this game though so that’s my reason for getting it. It was fun to play through with the new achievements and all but unless you really liked the first one I’d wait as well.

Do I understand this correct, is this the game from Orange box, plus 14 additional maps? I already have Orange box and don’t want buy the game over again just for new maps. If that is the case, then I might pass on this until a price drop years from now or I get lucky and just win it. I’d think differently if I didn’t own Orange box already.

While cool, I’d rather pick up Orange Box when I can find it for $20. Not only do I get a way better deal, I actually have a disc instead of having to worry about some dumb DRM issues.

1200 points isn’t pleasing but for select games i don’t mind. this and uhh Braid (since i was helping a developer friend)

outside of these two though, my nose is turned against them.

No, never will an arcade game be a steal at 1200 points.

These overpriced games are overpricing themselves out of most people now with how bad the economy is right now. I havent bought an XBLA game since UNO when we had good 400 point games.

I love Portal, but I’m not sure $15 is worth it for 14 new levels…who am I kidding. I’ll be getting it.

I’ll just state the obvious fact now … the day of the 10 dollar XBLA game is officially over … what a shame

Cool news, still hard to get use to these 1200pts games though. I’ll have to think about this one for sure.
