    Interested in both to at least check out the demos. Shank looks like a fun beat-em-up and tho I haven’t see the movie or read Scott Pilgrim.. I’ve heard nothing but good things about the game so def will check it out as well

  • a peeking duck

    2D beat-em-up lovefest! :D

  • LYSTER OF SMEG

    Best week ever. Both of these will be 100% purchases

  • Blue Thunder28

    Yes!! Why is the best week of all right after Summer of Arcade? lols.

  • chiruno99

    No-one really has an excuse not to play either title. They’re both the best of this yer, Scott Pilgrim probibly GoTY 2010. Anyone saying Scott Pilgrim is too expensive for 800, just shouldn’t even bother saying as the enitre community would rip on them.

  • wolfzero01

    definitely getting Shank, I already got Scott Pilgrim when it was released on PSN, after playing a little of it I can say its worth the price.

  • Exu

    Scott Pilgrim has no online. A good game regardless but that is inexcusable.

  • JoeCool314

    hmmmmmmmm………..both sound interesting

  • Kinectamaniac

    I refuse to buy ANYTHING from the Marketplace until I get an answer to when the YuGiOh Decade Duels game is releasing on the Xbox LIVE Arcade.

  • Yaourt123

    Can’t wait for these games !
    I love XBLA games with a good local coop :)

    -> Castle Crashers, The Dishwasher <3

    Getting Shank for sure. I bought Scott Pilgrim on PS3 becauase I didn’t want to wait. Great game though.

  • I DLord I

    I have no interest in Scott Pilgrim. Shank looks like it would be pretty fun though.

  • Damake85

    Will be buying both these for sure, already tried Scott pilgrim on the ps3 but will buy it for the 360, and shank looks like a lot of fun.

  • N0NEoftheAB0VE

    I’ll give these a go – but I’m still hooked on Monday Night Combat!

  • Hoffer

    I’m interested in both. I’ll at least try the demo. I have to play Lara Croft first, but I’ve been playing Monday Night Combat non-stop.

  • AriesDog

    I’m still heartbroken that the Scott Pilgrim vs. the World movie flopped at the box office. [To the general public]: “What is wrong with you people?”

  • Freeleeday

    So the Bioshock 2 DLC is the DotW right? When is it actually going to be discounted. On Xbox.com it still says Sinclair Solutions Tester Pack is 400 points. Checked my console last night, still nothing.

    @Freeleeday from major’s twitter

    “This weeks Deal of the Week offers and Games on Demand titles have been delayed..hopefully they’ll be up tomorrow.”

    Scott Pilgrim looks awesome, I’ll have to try it out tomorrow

  • K1LLER HORNET

    Probably gonna be getting both.

    Will have to try out the trials before hand.

  • Sinist3r Alex

    @ Flood Ogre

    Looks like the Yu-Gi-Oh game maybe released next month. It says Third Quarter on IGN’s website. I’ve been waiting since April for this game :P

    Played some Shank on ps3. Super violent and gratifying. :P

  • Boe2

    I’m still trying to get gold medals on the expert tournaments in Hydro Thunder (LOTS of cursing involved, this game is brutal), I need to finish Lara Croft (and get all the extras, but Hydro Thunder has been getting in the way), my friends have been nagging about me not having bought Castlevania yet and now we get Scott Pilgrim AND Shank on the same day?

    God damn, Microsoft, I’m only human. How am I supposed to deal with this much goodness?

    I tried the Scott Pilgrim demo on the ps3 last week and it is almost everything I could have hoped for (with only online co-op missing)
