Is the Noble map pack the first one or the second one?

[King Ellis]

Noble, I think, is the first, Defiant the second. Plus Defiant has the 'get 400 points back (eventually)' deal on so the pair are 400 a piece, kind of.

[Cactus Drags]

I have the first one already. How does that 400 points back work exactly? I don't remember seeing any mention of it when I was looking at it the other day.

[King Ellis]

You buy it for 800, you get a code for 400 points in like 8-10 weeks after the promotion ends, which is the 15th of May. So, yeah, gonna be a while.

http://rewards.xbox.com/gamer-iq/ Is where it's listed.

[Baddar]

What the hell's the South Park game all about for 400pts?

[King Ellis]

It's a tower defense game. You have up to 4 characters on screen at a time, usually the four main boys but you can choose from a wider cast of their classmates. In addition to putting up towers and snow walls, each character can throw snow balls as a weapon. By doing so, you build up a special power that you can use which varies for each character. Stan for example heals the towns health points, Kenny makes enemies drop money, Cartman carpet bombs the screen etc etc etc. There's different enemies from the shows history like homeless people, old people etc.

Pretty cool game and i'd say worth it for 400 if you have people to play with, 1 or 2 from here have it. We were playing it at some point last year but a level near the end was giving us trouble so it's been left unfinished.

[Cactus Drags]

One day we will finish!

[apsham]

I agree.

[Baddar]

I might buy it - I need an excuse to play on the 360 that isn't just Borderlands, as fun as that game is.

[Benji]

If it's so fun, why do you never play? :/

I'd suggest Gears since I'll need an Insane difficulty partner, but you're never around anyway

[9 to 5]

I could do Gears, I guess....

It'sa fun multiplayer game too, but I suppose you lot will just want to get all the Horde acheivements.

[apsham]

I dunno about anywhere else - however, they just released a Gears pack here with Gears 1, 2 and all the expanded content for something like 30 dollars.

[Maxx]

I'll wait 10 days and play the beta.

[King Ellis]

I'll wait 10 days and play the beta.

Gears is back?

*Goes to buy*

Actually, Apsham, don't you work at Walmart or something? You could do the Microsoft retail expert thing and get a code plus all the fringe benefits that go along with it like cheap Microsoft points and stuff.

[Kaney]

I wanna play something tonight. It's been ages since we've had a big game of something going, as long as it doesn't involve Ruki, obviously.

How do you get into the Gears beta?

[King Ellis]

Pre-order from Game or Gamestation, get lucky and win a code via some form of social media, get one from the aformentioned Microsoft retail expert thing (whatever it's called) if you happen to work in retail where you sell Microsoft products (dunno if you can con that).

I have a pre-order which will apparently yield a code next Thursday. Pretty sure I can just cancel the pre-order too.

Also, yes, laaaads.
