OK, so Castlevania got a patch the other day. Improved matchmaking and game balances (or nerfs, if you play Charlotte).

Any ideas on what hits tomorrow?

Haven't really been paying attention... been more looking at the stuff that's going on sale. MS is doing a sale-a-day thing, these items should be on sale one day out of the next dozen or whatever (The RDR DLC is today's):

Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light
Castlevania Harmony of Despair
Perfect Dark
Monday Night Combat
Hydro Thunder Hurricane
Sonic the Hedgehog
Sonic the Hedgehog 2
Sonic the Hedgehog 3
Sonic the Hedgehog 4
Sonic Adventure
Sonic and Knuckles
Limbo

Game Add-Ons:

Halo Noble Map Pack
Fable III Understone Quest Pack
Red Dead Redemption: Liars and Cheats
Red Dead Redemption: Legends and Killers
Red Dead Redemption: Undead Nightmare
Alan Wake: The Writer
Alan Wake: The Signal
Dance Central: I Gotta Feeling
Mass Effect 2: Lair of the Shadow Broker
Mass Effect 2: Overlord
Mass Effect 2: Kasumi

Lara Croft is going to be 600 points tomorrow, apparently, so I'll snag that. Might want to hold off on purchasing Monday Night Combat for a few days, weeman.

I am interested in Limbo and MNC.

Yeah the reason I downloaded the MNC trial was because I heard about the sale coming up.

Need to try out that 6 vs 6 mode before my trial expires.

Also interested in Hydro Thunder.

[NGEFreek]

They should have released H2Overdrive (not the PS2 game, the Arcade one) instead of HT:Hurricane. Just saying.

Is there a change list anywhere? I'm kind of curious, but the asstastic way Konami handled the DLC kind of put me off.

[NGEFreek]

I dunno, your best bet is to wade through the gameFAQs topics. Apparently, theres still godly setups, just some items got debuffs and others got rebuffed. I've only been on a short time and haven't seen much change outside the fact that you can refine your searches better in the matchmaking (chapter, difficulty are now available as filters) so hooray for that.

Also, the Miser Ring and Robe Ducolette items have apparently unlocked for drop with the update as well, so I have something new to hunt for.

I knew holding off on Lara Croft was a good idea. I'll snag this today.

Robe Decollete was always a drop, it just got retooled to be better than the Death's Robes from what I've read. Neato.

Today's new game is a World of Keflings, 800 points.

This game and the next two weeks' games (Raskulls and ilomilo) have a sort of cross-compatibility with each other, characters from one make cameos in another if you own both games.
