  • Disco Ball

    pretty old, but never picked it up. May have to try out the trial again.

  • Techromage

    Note to self: don’t ever buy anything on XBL the first week it comes out. wait til it goes on sale. I could have sworn I paid 1600 points for this when it first came out.

  • Yukon Cornelius

    What, no sale on DLC? I mean it’s great to have “Puzzle Quest” on sale, but it would’ve been far better to reward us early adopters with an additional sale on the 700pt DLC “Revenge of the Plague Lord” as well. :-(

  • Rick Dias PK

    A nice offer! The only reason at all I’m not taking you up on it is I already bought a license to the game in question on the XBLA service. In other words, “I already have this game, but I would otherwise buy it.” I like this offer, and I think better of the XBL service for having seen it.

  • MACPH1ST0

    Yes, while this is an awesome deal and I highly recommend it to anyone who hasn’t already gotten the game, it would have been nice to get a discount on the overpriced DLC too for those of us who do already have it.

  • Sly Jon

    This game is old but is still fantastic. The computer a.i cheats like hell in the later stages & multiplayer is pretty pointless since the highest XP Player will always win but apart from that its great. There is ALOT of game for your money, thats for sure

  • sleepydumbdude

    Sweet. I’ve had it for a bit but will inform a few friends to try and buy. They do need to do something about that DLC for it though. I’m not buying it until its 400 points or less.

  • I Yova I

    IMO one of the best games on XBLA
    hopefully the next deal will be Puzzle Quest: Galactrix, which I definitely want, but not at 1600 points…

  • Xebu

    Great game, good deal, but seeing as I’ve already got it a nice discount on the DLC would have been much better.

  • Avenger1324

    I bought this for 1200 MS, and now it is 800 MS cheaper :(

    How about rewarding the early buyers?

    If anything this puts me off buying future Arcade games when they are new – just wait for them to get a discount

  • My Big Boss

    ??What is this??

  • BillyMagnumFOD

    eh…@MajorNelson: What the heck is your avatar picture???

  • Exu

    Cracking deal, Gromit!

  • VIGOR MORTIVORE

    @ BillyMagnumFOD

    It’s a part of the Penny Arcade CTS Hat. you can find it on the avatar marketplace.

  • BillyMagnumFOD

    @skychat i guess he changed it back…..

  • GameQube

    This is an amazing deal people! I bought it at launch for 1200MSP, and the hours and hours of addictive play made it worth every point. At 400MSP it’s a complete steal.

  • wiirule111

    I bought it without trying it today…and i already played it for hours.. Its a very addictive game which works quite well. :)

    Nicely made RPG/Puzzle game that isnt too hard the first hours. :) You get Experience points, Gold etc.. for anything you do in any mode i think.. and you can then jump back to quest.

  • Exu

    Yeah the price of the DLC needs to but cut/eliminated. 700 points for what it is is frankly ridiculous.

  • StabaCadaver

    Ladies and Gentlemen. GTA IV was $60 when it came out, now it’s $30. This price drop is no different. Get over it!

  • Honeycut1

    that’s a damn good deal

  • Jonah Falcon

    400 MSP for Puzzle Quest?! NO excuse not to get it now for people who don’t already have it. None.

  • EldonTLH

    Ooh, not a bad deal of the week at all! If I had a Gold membership, I would most likely grab it.

  • VisionaryLight

    Ohhh
    Bought! I was so addicted to the DS version of this game. I finished it at level 50 and probably played it for 40+ hours. Nice to have on the 360 so I can play it online after I’ve levelled up a charter. I also wanted to teach my sons to play this game.

  • Djizasse

    Maybe now I’ll someone to play online?
    It’s a very good deal.

  • Ark Hunter

    “How about rewarding the early buyers?”
    How about not buying things when they come out? Or if you like it enough to buy it when it’s released, don’t complain when it goes on sale like a year after it came out.

    I waited and and had kind of forgot about it and now I’m glad I did. 400pts for you Microsoft. Good job.

  • Darkjov193

    when will spolison man or tmnt reshell be deal of week :/

  • SpaceNinjaDino

    Definitely had to buy at 400. I already own it for DS and didn’t want to have to pay a lot of money for it to have on a different platform. I already beat the game twice on DS and now I wanted to beat it on 360 for Gamerpoints (plus it’s a great game).

  • madnizz

    400 points i did not think twice to give out. A great deal.

  • Col Hartman

    great game – too bad for me that I bought this game last week for 800 points! Agh oh well, keep the XBLA games coming on deal of the week!

  • Exu

    Bloody hell, I’m almost regretting purchasing this. They might as well have called it Puzzle Quest: The Computer is a Cheating Bastard.
