A quiet week for Xbox Live Marketplace this week, with all eyes firmly fixed on the high street. The inevitable Black Ops 2 Season Pass (Call of Duty: Elite is now a free - and DLC-free - service) leads the charge of add-ons, followed by a Deal of the Week that's sure to please fans of 20-sided dice.
Warlords and Planets Under Attack are your Xbox Live Arcade additions. The first looks like a blend of Hungry Hungry Hippos and Happy Wars. The second is... well, I'm not sure. Planets appear to be a feature. Catch trailers down the page. Also of note: Microsoft appears to be selling a number of Kinect Sports mini-games separately, for 240 MP each.

X-Men Destiny added to GoD? Is that right considering Silicon Knights are in the process of recalling and destroying any and all copies, code and related gubbings?

I am wondering the exact same thing as CunningSmile.

You'll have to ask Uncle Microsoft. Actually maybe I should ask Uncle Microsoft. Hold on, I'll ask Uncle Microsoft.

It would be better if you did. Uncle Microsoft still isn't speaking to me after what I said about Aunty Zune at last years Christmas.

Hey, isn't x-men...either I'm having deja vu, I'm in the matrix or I just read what's written above. I'm in the matrix again aren't I.
What comes under the 10 year anniversary sale, old xbox games?

I'm wondering about X-men Destiny as well actually, Amazon still seem to have it up for sale. Trying to get a hold of a copy for cheap myself, before the price goes sky high anyway.
Edit: Section 8: Prejudice is 600 MSP on the Scratch and Match thing. The two DLC packs are 160 MSP each as well.

From what I've heard you really shouldn't bother with it, think it's more akin to E.T than a disappearing gem.
Plamsa wing on 13 Nov '12 said:
I've never liked E.T, so I've thankfully never played the game.

I picked up a new copy of X-Men for just under £9, if I play it anytime soon I'll let you know what it's like. I'm wondering the same as everyone else, though, in addition to wondering why Warlords is listed too. It's been out for ages - see the trailer with "Coming Summer 2011".

Super Puzzle Fighter is a great, if slightly mystifying, puzzle game with Street Fighter and Darkstalkers characters. It's sort of Tetris meets Columns and the cutesified characters fight as you break the blocks. It's worth a try for 400MSP.
It does seem strange timing that the Silicon Knights game got released on GoD now, when retailers have to send back physical copies, but it was probably sent to MS weeks ago.

Carcassone and Catan are both great little games actually, well worth the points.

It seems really early to be able to buy the Black Ops 2 Season Pass - especially as the DLC is not due for release until 2013...
