It has to be Minecraft: 360 Edition and Spelunky for me - the former is my 'goto' when I just want to unwind for a bit after a hard day. The latter... is most certainly not - - but an exemplary title for the service in its own right.

I really must get around to actually trying Mark of the Ninja, though - only read good things about it.

Those Cyber Monday sales are pretty disappointing. I would have tried out Shadow Complex for 600 msp. 800 msp never feels like much of a sale.

 

[jon bones]

boy those cyber monday deals blow.

mark of the ninja is by far my goty, first game i 100%'d ever.

spelunky was also fantastic. i may give the walking dead episode 1 a shot tonight when i have some down time... in the mood for something new to play. i tried the dust demo and enjoyed it, but something about it didn't click with me.

I wonder if Micro just does them to say they did it, it is like they are not even trying..

I picked up Gotham City Impostors, is Bloodforge as awful as the reviews suggest?

They patched Bloodforge to get rid of the the worst aspects of the camera and tweak some other bits.

Played it after the patch came out and quit about halfway through due to a bullshit difficulty spike. Compared to the original demo the patch helped a lot but it's still the same game.

For me personally, 2012 has been the best year yet for XBLA. These titles are all of pretty good quality and I had a ton of fun playing them this year:

Fez
Alan Wake's American Nightmare
The Splatters
Trials Evolution
Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition
Joyride Turbo
Spelunky
Dust: An Elysian Tail
Mark of the Ninja

Developed by Bongfish, the people behind the free "Harms Way" game a few years ago. They're also doing the Avatar Motocross Madness game, I believe?

 

[Card Boy]

Can someone tell me whats happening with Yu-Gi-Oh 5D's Decades Duels Plus? I don't get why it was missing for like almost 2 years and then comes back with no announcement with a 'Plus' version and then disappears 10 hours later. I really wanted it despite the negative reviews.

canIhasAnAccount do your magic.

[Gowans]

GTA4 showing as £12 (~1400points) in the UK, just bought it and the two expansions for £6 last night on steam.

 

[Monkeylord]

May bite on Burnout Crash for the missus at that price. I need to get some MSpoints today for Omega, so I can get it at the same time.

Also planning on grabbing Portal 2 while it's still listed at £11.99.


What's the best way for me to "clean my fridge", so to speak? It's taking forever to do anything on my 360, and I hear tell that reformatting will cure what ails it... I just don't want to spend 2 or 3 days redownloading everything again if I can help it.

They all blew even more in Canada...but I picked up the Dead Island DLC,Ryder something hehe,at 400 I figured why not.

 

[Vegivo]

Bioshock 2 wins.

 

[Chiaroscuro]

I guess it is time to get Ms Pacman.

Did they fix the Sales App issue where games bought on it appears separately from your download history? I bought the same game twice because of that...

 

[Ken Masters]

[Vert boil]

Lastest coming con tent was posted.

This is always the case for exclusives (see Bastion). They save them for the Christmas/End of Year sale.

[Stumpokapow]

Wonder what the Ubisoft publisher sale from Dec 4-10 will end up being.

 

[Card Boy]

Wonder what the Ubisoft publisher sale from Dec 4-10 will end up being.

I'd imagine Scott Pilgrim, From Dust, Might and Magic: Clash of Heroes, Outland and Beyond Good and Evil HD if last year is anything to go by. Maybe they will chuck in Rayman 3 HD.

Personally i just want Outland.

 

[bigtroyjon]

Wonder what the Ubisoft publisher sale from Dec 4-10 will end up being.

Probably some bullshit like old Tom Clancy games DLC.

Xbox System update going out today

I wanted to let you know that the team has just released a system update for the Xbox 360 over Xbox LIVE. Starting today when you sign in to Xbox LIVE you’ll receive a prompt to accept this mandatory update. If you are signed into LIVE already, you may be signed out and asked to accept the update and you’ll be back online in a few moments.

In this update, we are correcting some issues such as displaying the incorrect playlist name when launching a playlist from Xbox SmartGlass to the console, an error with Xbox Video closed-captioning and an error with Xbox Music that some were experiencing.

Thanks and we will see you online.

[akilshohen]

Hmm, OK. It's a one-trick pony, but it's a pretty amusing trick.

It's fun, they just need to stop teasing people with stuff like this. I bought revenge on the marketplace just because it's been too long since the last real Burnout game came out....and I liked the checking system more than what was offered in paradise.

EDIT: XBLA is playing games in Virtua Fighter 2. I'm getting FV and StF but I can't touch the VF 2 trial yet...ugh.

 

[Phonomezer]

I wish I could play FEZ for the first time again ;_;

When the hell is Skulls of the Shogun coming out?!?

 

[Diablohead]

I bought sonic gems for ps2 only last year but not dug out my ps2 to play it, so buying sonic the fighters on live instead! also fighting vipers because I remember reading about it but never owned a saturn, really want to try it out.

 

[Socreges]

Don't know where else to post this:

When I turn on my 360 it shows the Xbox logo and then when loading the dashboard it freezes. It hasn't done this before today, but now I can't get it to start. Each time it freezes at exactly the same place, with the circle loading icon.

What the hell?

Nice, thanks. Thought it was toast. Just saw the thread about this, too.

 

[bodyboarder]

What are the chances next years releases will be as good as this years? I only ask as after having a look through next years stuff (from the ot) I have my doubts it will match it.

I just finished it 100% last week. "Enchanted" is the best word to describe what it did to me. A joy to play.

 

[Chiaroscuro]

Not exactly the right thread, but I guess here I will spread the news to the right audience.

ilomilo plus was released today (Windows 8 RT and Pro), including the original game plus two new chapters and three new cubes.

Going to play ilomilo for the third time!

Any news on Battleblock Theater?

There will be plenty of stuff that comes out that no one knows about yet but I as well have doubt's on it being a golden year. Monaco, The Cave and Super TIME Force should be highlights.

Any news on Battleblock Theater?

They lost it behind one of their piles of cash. No solid info on then it's due.
