Xbox Live Marketplace is about to pound your wallet balance through the floor with a giant, novelty boxing glove stuffed with SUPER SAVINGS. These cover various Street Fighter X Tekken characters, undisclosed EA releases and Earthworm Jim HD. It's Earth(worm) Jim, but not as we know it.
There's not much to discuss on the Real Actual New Games front, but the long-overdue arrival of Skulls of the Shogun makes up for the absence of titles handily. You get to control a bunch of dead samurai, one of my personal life goals.

Buying anything? I've been mulling over the idea of buying Hybrid, a shooter where you can only move between cover points, which reportedly feels oddly akin to a classic boardgame of some description.

I might get something in the EA sale if it has any cheap Mass Effect 2 DLC.

Doesn't seem to be anything ME2 on there, just Dragon Age Origins/2, Shank, DeathSpank, Battlefield 3 and a few others. They do have From Ashes though.
Might pop down to Morrisons tomorrow and see about those Origins deals. I knew Awakening would go on sale.
It is however pretty the same price on Amazon right now, so I think I'll go for the disc version.

If you haven't played it yet Awakenings is a great game. It's actually more like DA2 than DA2 was and has a good 15 to 20 hours of game play, new locations and new characters. I really enjoyed it (just a pity no Morrigan)
