yes, even if you own it on other machines, PvZ is still totally worth it on the 360. playing on the big screen in 16:9 with a friend.

some new game modes.

the controls make the game feel very different. instead of clicking like a mad man in PvZ (especially survival mode), you just pull the trigger every once in awhile. it doesn't sound different but once you try it, you'll realize the atmosphere is different.

Holy crap, Realms of Ancient War is down to 5 bucks? I'm definitely picking that up.

If you're talking about the iPhone/iPod Touch version, then that's a piece of shit compared to the console/Vita/PC versions that have everything they're supposed to. At least you have the PC version to know what's expected from the game. The consoles have local MP and co-op, a new minigame, better visuals to take advantage of the HD screen real estate, and great controls for the controller.

I own and have beaten the PS3, PC, iPod Touch, Xbox 360, and Vita versions and would definitely recommend everything but the iPod Touch version. I have yet to try the DS, DSiWare, and Android versions, so those are on my radar to get at some point.

Not sure if you mean "offer" or "put on sale" but if you checkout the Avatar Store, they updated teh Holiday collection -- and there's some offbeat stuff in there, like Holiday ninja suits...? I almost got the snowman, but he's a little... violent for my taste. Well, taste in Holiday stuff at least.

So you can play games straight off of USB sticks?

Yes although the original game disk MUST still be in the disk tray even though it doesn't spin for piracy reasons.

How does that work though for downloaded games?

Thanks. Maybe I'll get a big USB that I only use for disc installs. I too am curious how it works for downloadable games. Can you play those straight off the USB or do you have to transfer the content to the 360 hard drive before you can play?

You can play xbla, GoD and dlc all off usb with no problem as long as the usb is formatted to xbox specs.

alright started playing Serious Sam 3. is the game supposed to hitch every once in awhile? while I'm playing every once in awhile, when it's doing a midlevel load, the game will pause for a split second, including the music. it's kind of annoying. loading was silky smooth and unobtrusive in the previous ss games and other games like Halo 4.

i do like what I've seen so far. I still prefer the first encounter and second encounter thus far (only have played the first level of ss3). but maybe because I only have a pistol I can't use (only 10 bullets) so I have to melee everything.

DOn't know if the rest of you saw it, but on the 13th there was a 120,000 MSP giveaway on the free stuff forum (i cant find it now).

Arrgghh I posted mine before the deadline and the email hasn't come through! It was pretty long too!

EDIT: the post says all codes will be handed out before the 25th, so don't stress (?) if you didn't get it yet.

Looking forward to getting Mark of the Ninja tomorrow. The game looks really fun.

JUST GOT HELL YEAH RABBIT FOR 600, not sure about others yet! Go go spend those points!!!

It's on sale now for 600 points.

Omah gerd so many games to playnow

Got Sonic 4 Ep2 for 400 and I hate it. Sonic is so slow and I literally have to stop and spin dash to make him fast enough so I can complete levels... TODAY. And since when did bosses after the first zone took 10 hits to kill?

Also got Super Meat Boy and this game is my little *****. I look forward to spending 300+ hours on it.

I also downloaded LEGO Harry Potter, but that can wait while I play... Sonic Adventure 2! Holy crap I haven't played this in YEARS!!! OMG
