    Too Human

    Game » consists of 8 releases. Released Aug 19, 2008

    In this action-RPG from Silicon Knights, players take on the role of the Norse god Baldur, whose protective feelings towards humanity and refusal to augment his body with cybernetics lead the other Aesir to label him "too human".

    Why is Too Human being advertised on the Dashboard?

    When I finished playing Mass Effect 3 this morning, I noticed there was an advertisement for Too Human on the main dashboard page. I did a double take, clicked on it, and sure enough it took me to the Too Human page. Is my Xbox slowly slipping back in time to 2008 and will I start seeing ads for Guitar Hero: Aerosmith and Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe?

    Does anyone have any theories why this is happening?

    Well, it knows you like Mass Effect. So you'll probably be even more in love with this other sci fi pseudo RPG! Right? Buy now!

    I was wondering that too, but thought the icon's placement was a bit too prominent for the sale of a 5 year old game. I'd expect to see that on the games tab.

    The price was $29.99 and I didn't see any verbiage stating that it was on sale... That added to my confusion. On the main dashboard tab the icon just said "Too Human" and featured a geth-looking robot. Nothing about a sale there or on it's page.

    Perhaps someone at Xbox was having a laugh.

    That game is fun for what it is. I'd play Too Human 2.

    Think it might just be a special or more likely it's now available in that games on demand category to just download it over getting a boxed version.

    Which box is it? I have MLB.tv on the box above the advertisement and nothing about Too Human in the center box.

    It's the main dashboard tab that you see when you turn on your system and the upper left corner is the box with whatever game you have in your Xbox. I saw the Too Human box in the lowest right corner box.

    I guess it's just a cycled advertisement then, since that's that advertisement box.

    That's what I figured, but I'm still confused as to why Too Human is being advertised in 2012 at all when it's not on sale or Too Human 2 isn't coming anytime soon. It's not relevant to anything current.

    I've seen Crackdown demos advertised there, along with other older games.

    Probably just trying to get people back into the older games I guess

    30$ for Too Human? that's a bargin if i were saw one!

    It's unbelieveble how out of touch the marketplace is with reality. At least i didn't pay more then 150NOK ~20$ when i was too lazy to go to gamestop when I wanted to buy CoD4 a few months ago.
