I didn't like Toy Soldiers, but I gotta say that Trenched looks great.

50% off most stuff, and 75% off Bejeweled Blitz.
Major confirmed this is also the US deal starting today. I still say everyone needs to get Bejeweled Blitz Live for $2.50!

Done and done.

I had to do the old double-switch Gamer Profile move to my old console in the family room prior to purchasing this so that my wife and kids can later play this game on the "family" Xbox without having to play on my account. A little time consuming, but it's a game that I hope they'll enjoy as well.

$2.50 is still $2.50 more than playing it on Facebook for free.

I will probably pick up Peggle Nights, I saw it this morning. I've been playing this Facebook game that is a Peggle clone, but I still rather play console. But first I need to pick up a couple of Rockband packs and then we'll see what points are left over.

It's already impossible to get two random players together for an Archenemy match in Magic 2012. So that last achievement eludes me until I can get two friends on at the same time.

Gattling Gears just dropped to 800 points (from 1200). Not sure if that's a sale or a really quick price drop. Either way I'll be buying it now, I think.

Sick of me talking about Dungeon Twister yet? No? Well here is the latest from Hydravision's twitter feed about it:

@xmiyux Game now ready both on Xbox and PS3. The Xbox release date determines the PS3 as well. Planned for the 14th of September. TBC!

I picture you weeping great tears of joy at this news. Now the question is: will it really come out on that date?

wtf Bejeweled Blitz. What's with the bullshit on the face buttons moving the gems, that took some time to get used to. Oh but you only have a minute to learn it. Suck it. I want my $2.50 back Pinata.

It's WAAAAAAAY faster than the Bejeweled 2 mechanism. Dual-stick would have been a nice option.

If I were you, I'd work on getting your brain to think and tell your hands what to do with the decision it made.

I'm too cynical to weep about it now. Previously news had been June/July but that was coming from folks on the board game side. Hydravision is the actual developer and they said October. Interestingly enough, Hydravision is the distributor on PSN but there is a different distributor on XBLA.

So I will believe it when I see it.

I like the fact that you can start a new game almost instantly after finishing your first game. It is pretty addictive.

I liked the fact that I beat your score after only 4 attempts.

I only played 3 times. I'll be sure to work on that right after I get my R&B score up to snuff.

Oh, Hell Yeah!

Why not take a game about five times more appealing and more highly anticipated than anything featured in the Summer of the Arcade promotion and then release it exactly one week prior to the start of the Summer of the Arcade promotion. Makes sense to me.
