So apparently Deadlight is a bit of a disappointment. All the reviewers are saying it's relatively easy and only takes about two hours. I'll wait until it's half price.

[Twigg4075]

I played the Deadlight demo the other day. It seems like a really cool game with a perfect mix of Limbo and Shadow Complex. But with the length being on the extremely short side I'll wait for it to at least be on sale for $10.

Please save the "It's only five dollars comments" for someone that gives a fuck.

Also, apparently the Coldstream DLC for L4D2 is available for 560 MS points. It has ZERO achievements. Fucking dumb.

My cousin Montto got in the new Xbox dashboard beta. Basically he says it's worse than what we have now. Even more ads. So awesome.

were you expecting less?:giambipls:

[Twigg4075]

No, I wasn't. But even he had hope that they would listen to the complaints from their customers and make changes for the better. I explained to him that this is M$ we're talking about. All they care about is more ad dollars.

One day "Back to School" sale:

Lots of 50% off stuff. Too bad the link on the dashboard doesn't work. Hopefully they get it fixed soon considering it's only for today.

Xbox Arcade has sucked ever since they stopped doing 1 vs 100.

[Twigg4075]

The even better part was that I tried accessing the deals through that stupid Sales & Specials app. Not only was it not there but it froze my console when I tried to back out.

[Twigg4075]

I got Deadlight on sale the other day. It's pretty good so far. I'm on Act 3 in the Rat Cave.

If you still like it then, then it's great. That was when that game lost me. I love the art and some of the game design, but other than that it was a definite regret purchase for me.

That's still to be seen but I imagine paying $15 would skew opinions.

Win a custom themed Xbox in 'Swagfest'

The Xbox Live Swagfest is a way to get a free custom Xbox 360 for playing a multiplayer match – but it also illustrates how important non-game entertainment has become to the console. In order to enter the Swagfest, you have to download a special gamer pic and use it on your profile, then play a multiplayer round of Halo 4, Tomb Raider, or Gears of War 3 between now and March 11. Or, you can download HBO Go.

At the end of the period, five winners will be chosen to receive a special 4GB Xbox – bearing art from either Tomb Raider, BioShock Infinite, Gears of War: Judgment, Splinter Cell Blacklist ... or Game of Thrones on HBO. In other words, "watching HBO" is presented as equally representative of the Xbox experience as any of these AAA video games. Which is probably fairly true to life for most of us.
