Castle Crashers is an excellent 2D hack and slash game. Tight controls, great art style and most importantly: 4-player co-op. At 1200 MS it’s quite the deal. Unfortunately, the lack of MS points card is stopping me from buying this.

Galaga Legions isn’t my cup of tea. I’ll play it, but it just doesn’t spark interest. I enjoyed the puzzle like elements of the Galaga formations and the ability to place two satellites at any point in the screen. In the end, the bland visual style, weak electronic soundtrack and lack of “pizazz” with the explosions leave me wanting more.

Update: Kotaku was updated. Looks like Castle Crashers won’t be going for 1800 MS Points. Braid’s price tag wasn’t corrected, though.

Well this piece of news took a bit of wind out of my sails. It looks like the prices of Braid and Castle Crashers aren’t going to 800 MS points like I originally thought.

Here’s the new breakdown:

Braid will cost 1200 MS points (~ $17.40 CAD)
Castle Crashers - 1800 MS points (~ $26.10 CAD)

That’s asking a lot. Especially when Geometry Wars 2 and Bionic Commando: Rearmed is going to cost 800 MS (~ $11.60 CAD) each. Galaga Legions is the only one without a price tag at the moment.

Please note that the conversion rate between MS points to Canadian Dollars could be outdated.

P.S - Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved 2 is out today! At least try the demo.
