Forum Overview :: I Can't Afford a XBL Gold Membership :: Symphony of the Night, one of the greatest games ever made, is $5 this week.

[quote name="Jerry Whorebach"]If you've never played SOTN, it's sort of like a side-scrolling Diablo. Very, very easy - especially compared to previous Castlevanias - but still very, very fun, and this port is even BETTER than the original (no loading times, for a start). Possibly the best $5 you can spend on XBLA (just don't get it confused with Castlevania HD, which is also on sale this week). A bunch of other Konami stuff has been temporarily reduced, including the new <s>Contra:</s> Hard Corps game by Arc System Works, which I haven't tried yet, and the Choplifter remake that was mentioned in another thread. (I have no nostalgia for Choplifter; I grew up in a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fort_Apocalypse">Fort Apocalypse</a> household.) You can find a complete list of price drops on <a href="http://xbldb.com/offer-highlights?game_type=all&offer_type=game&status=no_expired">XBLDB</a>, as usual. Oh, and if you're thinking about Hard Corps, play the demo first. Apparently finishing it unlocks something in the full game?[/quote]
