Hole in the Wall and Leedmees for kinect are both 50% off today, but both have pretty awful reviews.

Yeah, I didn't particularly like anything released theatrically in 2011, so movies have lost me.

My kids LOVE the TV show Hole In The Wall and were so excited that Wednesday morning when it was released -- until they tried it. It's a pretty unplayable game and a real let-down for them.
I had heard better things about Leedmees. I might check out that demo today, though I think we've got plenty to play on the Kinect already.

The Kinect Twister game is a better version of Hole in the Wall, somehow.

BTW : I think I just found one of my favorite XBLA games this year, and I didn't get it on XBLA. I picked up Orcs Must Die on Steam the other day. It's fun as hell. Very entertaining. I'm really enjoying it so far. It would be better with multiplayer for sure, but as it is, it's still a blast.

After listening to Dubstep and Katy Perry I've realized that so music is lost on me.

Microsoft says there may or may not be a problem. Maybe.

Thanks. It's back up for me now, but was down for at least an hour.

i need to give the demo a try. The lack of online co-op is a turn off IMHO.

With all the love for Defense Grid lately, I tried the demo and enjoyed it quite a bit, was intending to wait on a sale. Ended up picking up the bundle on Steam today for $4 and ended up sinking about 4 hours into it.

These may be some of the rest of the daily deals. Apparently this was on some German forum.

22.12.2011: Fallout Inhalte (content)
24.12.2011: Street Fighter 3 Third Strike Online Edition
25.12.2011: Fruit Ninja Kinect
26.12.2011: Forza Motorsport 4 Inhalte (inkl. Season Pass, Avatar Items)
27.12.2011: Halo Reach Inhalte (inkl. GonD, Packs, Avatar Items etc.)
28.12.2011: Sonic Inhalte
29.12.2011: Red Dead Redemption Inhalte
30.12.2011: Gears of War 3 Inhalte (inkl. Season Pass, Add-ons und Avatar-Items)
31.12.2011: Call of Duty Inhalte

If this turns out to be accurate, well, I'll be really mad at myself for passing on Bastion the other day, 'cause I don't give a shit about any of this stuff.

I'd get the GoW3 season pass just to make my friends happy. A deal on a package deal is always welcome. Otherwise, I have no interest in anything.

Nab a Gunstringer/Fruit Ninja code off ebay for about $13. Gunstringer is awesome.

I'm thinking(hoping) the codes might get cheaper after Christmas though.

So that list was bullshit. Not surprised.

Need to check the DW :L demo to see if it's worth it.

Not necessarily. The list is missing an entry for 12/23. I guess we'll find out tomorrow.

Edit: I need to stop opening a lot of tabs at once and then reading through them all without refreshing.

Just noticed that Mortal Kombat Season Pass is half price at 600 points today as well. For that price, I'll pick it up, if only for Freddy Kruger
