The Maw is only $5 on Xbox LIVE today, buy this thing photo

I'll admit that I'm a grinch when it comes to the holiday, but I do like the deals. Torchlight for $5 was a brilliant purchase, for instance.

Here's another one for a cool five bucks -- Twisted Pixel's Xbox LIVE Arcade debut The Maw is now only 400 MS Points. Yup, that translates to roughly five human dollars, and that's a steal if you ask me. Conrad would agree; check out his review to find out why.

The game's a bit on the "short" side, but don't act like you have anything else to do, especially if you're still on holiday break. You're so lazy.

You should support the developer however .... The Maw was not that great.

I have 300 points just sitting there, I was waiting for a good deal on the new years countdown, but I don't think one is coming.

So maybe I'll just throw down for 500 more points and buy this and something else. The demo intrigued me, it wasn't amazing, but worth 5 bucks I guess.

Ya, I have a spare 400 points thats just been unused after I bought Indigo Prophecy for 1200 points. Man, first Jim convinces me to buy Torchlight (which is an amazing game), and now I'm getting this game just cuz Nick says to. I really need to make my own decisions...

I bought this earlier today. Does anybody know if the add on levels are always 100 ms points apiece, or are those on sale too?

@DaedHead8: If I'm recalling correctly, the bonus levels have always been 100 points.

Oy.. to discern between supporting a developer or a not-so-good title. Really, it felt more like an exercise in vg standards than genuinely enjoyable.

Thanks Conrad, I just re-read your review and now I can't wait to get out of work to play some more. It's such a well animated and funny game. I'll definitely pick up the extra levels when I'm done with everything in the main game.

Totally worth 400 points, for charm along. Game is a little weak, but has all the hilarious wit and general cleverness that made Splosion man so awesome.
So yeah, get it! Incidentally, I got my wife a Maw plushie for christmas (which cost more then the game...) because she loved the game so much. So getting the Maw = you'll get chicks.
Or something.

This is the only game I was really gunning for on steam to have a discount, and now it gets one on my dead 360. Fucking ace.

Picked this one up! Looks like a nice deal for a fun little game!

(Also, this is the weekly special, not one of those daily ones, so its available all week)

I remember playing this after a friend recommended me.

Once he saw I was playing it, he insisted on impersonating the blue dude and screaming "MAWWWwwwWWwwwWWWW" into the mic every five minutes.

Ruined the game.

Bought and beat 100%. Fun game for $5, but I don't think I would have paid $10. Waaaaay too short.
