Should you refuse to do so, the punishment will be ten lashes.

Deadlight looks intriguing,only seen the vid though.Plus how many games can claim to be set in the eighties (except Vice City).Still looking at some off the last one though.Tough month for me to get games.

Don't forget Left 4 Dead 2, now on games on demand, and Cold Stream DLC should be up soon*.
*In Valve time

Looks even more lame than usual after the Steam sale. And DLC-only deal of the week? Boo!

El SHIT more likely
That game was terrible and i strongly urge people to avoid it and ignore the critics "oh its so unique and quirky" malarky

What's with the deals being so shit lately? (excuse the french) Did the community offend the person in charge of them or something?
I don't expect Steam style deals, but at least spice them up peeps. £10 says it's another Sonic deal next week.

What benefits do we exactly get from being a GOLD subscriber
(I have been with my 360 since launch), say compared to PSN+........................Simple Answer, NOTHING, well apart from a shed load of ads thats gives M$ more $$$$$$$$$$$ 
. yep folks pay £35-£40 per year, gets you, some DLC, which has been on sale numerous occasions, how many games are currently on xbla, 300-400 games. Microsoft are S*hitting on the people that put them were they are today.

HMMMMM - not a lot there!!
Deadlight does look intriguing but 1200ms points???
I have Lara Croft - Guardians of light but I doubt I will be buying any of the add-ons for it!
Oh well at least it means I save my points this week!!
