Greetings all,

This week I bring you a new release which is guaranteed to cause some uproar (I've also put a separate post to draw attention to this fact!) a relatively easy if time consuming 100% on deal of the week, A plentitude of news as well as funny video which nokia are using to promote the Lumia 900!!

New Release

Monster Island - ??????

First up as I've previously posted, this game will require you to buy extra coins with real money to 100%. It's also currently only available in the US for some reason

News

• 7 games permanently reduced to 79p - It seems there wasn't such a rush for us to buy these titles as Microsoft have confirmed these are permanent price drops with one extra game potentially joining them soon. However I still urge you to pick all these up for three reasons - 1) These games have 200GS available and are 79p each that's some cheap GS even if they're not all easy completions. 2) These are not just crappy titles many of these are actually awesome games and now iOS owners can stop gloating about Angry Birds costing more on WP7. 3) If this turns out to be a success then Microsoft will start reducing more prices which means more cheap games!! You know it makes sense
  
  
• Netflix now on WP7 - Grahamofthedead posted about this during the week (check his post [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] but I thought I'd mention it here in case you missed it, but yes Netflix finally has an app up on the marketplace which is free to download, though you'll still need a Netflix account to access the films (if you don't have one already and are interested, don't forget to sign up to Xbox rewards to get free MSP when you do!)
  
  
• Some great new free apps added to marketplace - First up is the BBC Podcast Lounge which allows you to stream a variety of Podcasts from BBC radio stations direct through your phone, its pretty well laid out and means you can catch up on anything you may have missed or want to relisten to. The other is a great fun little app for Star Wars geeks. Kinect Star Wars is essentially an app collating both your facebook and twitter feeds but turn your phone sideways for an epic innovation which is worth the app alone. It also allows you to post up on both accounts too plus gives feeds from cameo Star Wars characters!

Well that's all this week. Till next week adieu!!

Edit: Doh forgot to add the video i mentioned. Not only does it show off the speed of the WP7 but the comment by the girlfriend at the end is a classic!!

Good stuff as ever......I've bought the 3 79p games that I didn't already have, so I've done my bit!

Oops forgot to add the video I mentioned, all sorted now though!!
