A bunch of games titled as Platinum Hits for 2010.
List of games ranging at $20, or $30.

Seems pretty cool, and I see some games I may get.

LOL. Call of Duty 2 and 3 for $29.99 each. I bet before this "Platinum Hit" classification, they were sitting in the bargain bin for $9.99.

I wouldn't even buy COD2 for $20, though. I paid $29.99 on Steam three years ago, but back then it was a fair price.

Definitely Grade A games in that long list, though.

Anyone else find it mildly shameful that by simply changing the box-art, MS is able to get away with a 50-100% markup on the actual price of the title?

E: What the living Christ, Project Gotham Racing 3 is NOT acceptable at $20 when I can get the bastard for $3 at any Gamestop. That's a fucking 666% markup!

Wow, so many crappy games on that list. Shrek the Third? Nuts and Bolts? They even have that extremely crappy 3D Sonic game that got a metascore of 46 (out of 100).

How did that end up on the Platinum hits if it failed the Metacritic system?

That's impossible. Everyone knows that system is what gamers and marketings live by.

Saints Row 2, Force Unleashed, Ghost Recon AWF 1/2, Banjo-Kazooie oh hellz yeah!

Also, if you havn't got FO3 you're a triple-nazi, sorry.

The original Condemned is on there? I paid $9.99 for that the year Xbox 360 first game out; albiet at Christmas time and it was a "Buy two good games and get one we can't sell cheap" deal.
