Damn man Mark of the ninja is crazy good. So is Iron Brigade which is by double fine.

I'm sure it is, but it's a stealth game, so I don't care. Never heard of Iron Brigade, might check that out. But still, Dust is awesome and I'm glad to see someone else bought it.

That's the beauty of it. Mechanically the game is beautiful and makes you feel like a badass when you get through a whole level without killing anyone or being detected.

Dust is good so far and has been on my radar since last year.

I was going to pick up Fez for Christmas expecting a points card, but I didn't get one. I'll have to wait a bit to be able to buy it. It's such a relaxing game going off the demo. Not to mention seems like the dev went through he'll to get it out on the market after watching Indie Game: The Movie.

Some of the puzzles are incredibly difficult, actually. Plus they throw in some black whole stuff from time to time that you gotta avoid.

Game is hard I"be seen the first ending and that's as far as I'll get. Still pop in the game because its relaxing to just run around.

The Borderlands sale is today, for anybody who prefers Games on Demand over an actual physical copy, Borderlands 2 is only $40, and for anybody who hasn't played the first yet, it's only $10 which is a steal.

Picked up Jet Set Radio half off, (400 MSP) and I'm hooked.
The winter sale isn't half bad.

How long does that sale last?!?! I need a points card, now!

For the rest of 2012

Super Meat Boy is also only 600 points, so there's that.

Lolz, I bought Super Meat Boy like 3 days before it went on sale. That stung, but it's definitely worth 1200 points so whatever.

I finally finished purchasing all the Walking Dead episodes when the last one came out. I haven't played them yet since I've wanted to wrap up some other games before I got started on them.

Then, BAM, they went 50% off and 1st episode free. I hate that...

If you are a fan of the comic or TV series you are going to love it. I never seen the TV series or knew anything about it till I got the first four episodes. Lucky for me I finished those up a day before episode 5 came out so that was an instant buy for me. Now I can't wait for season 2. Let me know how you liked the game when you get a chance to play it. Defiantly gets my vote for best XBLA game of 2012.

Favorite Xbox exclusive series...Gears of War for sure.

As it happens I haven't yet bought a 360 since my last post here before Christmas. I probably will soon - I have the money put aside already - but I just have one question first:

GAME currently have a 4GB bundle with a separate 320GB hard drive which costs less than its equivalent 250GB console bundle. Is there any difference (other than the amount of space) between a 250GB console and a 4GB console with a 320GB hard drive installed? If not, I'd obviously rather go for that as it would give me more storage for less money!

No real difference. What else comes with the Bundle?

Well, the 4 GB model isn't shiny like the 250 GB model. But if you like matte, even better. I like shiny stuff better, though it has to be polished and dusted regularly.

Spartan Ops is back

They really improved on the Crimson Team (gameplay) story stuff. The Cliffhangar resolution was a bit too much of a ruse but damn it was exciting.

Played the first mission of the episode amend it was great and played more like a campaign than a kill room. When Awakening kicks in as you big jack a phantom was great.

I'll be checking out the new Spartan Ops episode tonight. I actually enjoyed the first 5 episodes though obviously there was a lot to improve. Ep. 6 seems solid though just from watching some gameplay footage earlier, looking forward to experiencing it myself.

Oh yeah, I forgot about Spartan Ops. Now that I have Gold again I'll have to catch up!
