    Yeah and instead of the usual 'buy all four and get the price of one in MS points' deal it's buy two and get a souls pack for the free game Ascend: Hand of Kul which is apparently going to be a free game.

    It's F2P that one, got into the beta last week but haven't played it yet, I can't complain though because last year i got the 400msp rebate.......... 4 times :P

    Couple of others profited from that cock up too :)

    Is it going to be a completely free game or is it going to be freemium?

    Judging by the availability of different 'packs' you can pay for it looks to me like it'll be the latter :(

    Freemium. Sadly. There is no such thing as free anymore. :(

    Will the price on these go up once the summer of arcade is over? Flashback was one of my favourite games on the SNES, but a bit short on cash at the moment.

    never seen that happen before with new releases. I'm waiting for them to go down tbh!

    Ah ok, I misunderstood the whole point of this then. Thought summer of arcade was some sort of sale to promote new arcade games. :o

    AFAIK its just a promotion for a few new games. I swore I'd never pay 1200 for a game again when I bought Alan Wake: American Nightmare at full price when it came out a couple years back with the same level three times crap! Within a few months it was half that on sale too.

    They nearly always go on sale at xmas, played the flashback demo earlier, feels like Shadow Complex.

    Actually it's exactly like shadow complex only not as good, reviews have been mixed also several go as far as to say the further in you get the more glitchy and buggy it gets. I have to say though the little I played it didn't seem that bad but I did skip cutscenes to avoid spoilers and those where also singled out in review for having poor voice acting.
