was cool to see the xbox community get so into an arcade game even tho I think it is one of the most expensive on xbla but yeah such a good format for notch to print some more money from, amazing game.
castle miner was fun for a few nights, worth $1 definitely.
almost all the stuff from the xblig @ 80c is worth it for a laugh, think I had more fun lolling at the techno kitten game than actually enjoying it as a game, never before in gaming had I a chance to play as a cat flying down corridors powered by it's own rainbow colore puke. indie xbox ftw.
The game is 3$ not 1$.
The game was 3$. Got a price cut sometime in July or so.
