Osmos definitely is a great game, but this sale is rather piss poor overall. If they really want to get my attention they need to have a combination of a far better client, far better range of content (perhaps even exclusive stuff) and certainly much better pricing.
What they have here are a Mahjong game, which really isn’t going to set the world on fire. An excellent indie game that has been available elsewhere for cheaper in the past. An online FPS that no one really wants to play. A 3 year old game that probably anyone with any interest in has already played (and the sequel). Fucking Where’s Wally the video game. And World of Goo that was available DRM free for next to nothing direct from the developer (and came with linux and mac versions).
Why on earth would anyone want to go for this? Come on Microsoft, you can do better than this.

Osmos is a pretty good game. Cheaper elsewhere though.
GfWL needs the level of support XBL has if it;s going to get anywhere.

Oh, that is pretty lame. It seems like part of a concentrated effort to make people *less* interested in GFWL.

Surely that’s impossible? It can’t possibly get any lower!
