I'm nabbing Pixeljunk eden for sure. I loved the demo. I'll probably get Commando too.

Why do you hate huge, hyped up, games so!?

cuz its all about the little guy.

Plus a lot of times, they aren't nearly as good as what people want you to think.

I agree just look at Geometry Wars or N+ two games right there that are amazing but are small and lowkey. (well at least they were until people played them)

i may have to pick up echochrome...even thoug i never was able to get past the demo. it made my brain hurt a bit.

N+ is cool, but it got old quick for me. I was blowed up at every turn.

My weakness is Super Stardust HD. Love it.

Because they're usually over hyped (as said) and too much money. I'm getting to a point now where I care less and less about the story and presentation in a video game. All I want to do is pick up something and have a great time for a bit and then go back to doing whatever. Probably one of the reasons I still play lots of NES and just retro games in general.

For some reason PSN won't take funds from my credit card. I guess its a sign not to buy Street Fighter because I won't play it after today.

There's some XBLA deals as well.

Rez being the crown jewel there. I already have it on PS2 though and didnt play it too much. For that price though it's a solid deal.

haha I was just about to post that Dante, apparently Major Nelson reads shamoozal.


also Assault Heroes for 250 points is a huge deal. Phil, you should check that game out!

Ohhh yeah that game. I just looked up some screens. It's kind of like a new Jackel. Maybe I would like it.

I have 210 extra ms points =(

I forget, how many dollars does 250 come out to? I may actually have some extra points and i dont realize it.

it's about 3$.

I only have 100 points left, but thanks! Also, you know what? muck Xbox. Even if I wanted to buy one of these special items, I need to be a gold member. muck them man. I refuse to pay for Xbox live. I don't care if that makes me ignorant or something. Hahaha.

If you ever want a 48 hour trial code, I think I have like 3 of em.

Screw that, if you're not gonna use it, why the hell should you pay for it. Also, it took me like 10 minutes to figure out how much 250 points equals out to. That's lame. I think they do it so you don't know how much money you're spending on stuff. I gotta say I prefer the straight forward PS3 way of doing it.

Yeah, I hate how they make you buy specific point amounts too. Most of the games cost multiples of $5, so buying the $10 or $20 cards in stores works out well. But if you try to do it online, they sell at weird amounts, like $12.50. I always have left over points that I can't really buy anything with.

The genius of Bill Gates.

Same here. And you never have left over points either. I dont mind the Wii way as much because at least 100 points is a dollar. There isnt really much trickery there, but you still end up with the left over points.
