Let's see...highlights and commentary from my year in review.

1203 hours (surely counting the massive amounts of Hulu me and my wife both watch....also when I leave something downloading overnight because I don't feel like waiting for it).

Gamerhours and Gamerscore puts me in the top 5%...Pretty cool and I still look absolutely crappy on TrueAchievements but whatever .

Diablo III: Reaper of Souls - Most Played Game - No surprise. I sweated and bled this game for at least 2/3rds of the year. Still need that last achievement though.

Plants vs Zombies - Most Played Games with Gold Title - Yeah, kinda expected that too. Too bad, I can't do Endless Survival no matter what guide I follow.

You Have Played 1% of our Top Games - I feel sad and less trendy.

DiRT Showdown is a lot of fun. A very nice freebie.

Decker

Not bad. I have KI Season 1 characters already, but never bought the extra costumes and old game before. That's a nice thing to get for free

Also, Zheros looks simplistic, but potentially fun as well :

I get to replace my physical copy of Deus Ex (which I never played) with a digital one...so that's good. The KI stuff should also include Killer Instinct classic as well, so its like an extra game. Zheros is hopefully a surprise despite the simplicity. The humor is always a nice touch.

fumanstan

Zheros does look mildly entertaining. Not a big Killer Instinct fan, but don't mind giving it a go.

That's a decent list to start off the new year

Some sale prices are starting to show up in the Xbox Live store. I'm not sure if they've all been posted at once since I think the sale is supposed to start tomorrow, or if much more will be coming. A couple that got my attention were Dragon Age: Inquisition for 17.99 and the Storm Island FH2 expansion for $5.

Copy/Paste swipe.

Damn, those Lego games are pretty cheap. Also surprised about Need for Speed. $24 and it's only been out a few months.

Decker

Music

If you go to the neogaf link, they link to the item on the store.

Spiderbite

Dang. Nothing special at all. And still no goddamn pinball!

What happened to those Xbox Live sales just a few years ago when really good games were 15 bucks and under? And even premium games were around $25 or less.

chuckd21

Not that many games on Xbox One + lots of publishers from last gen that don't exist anymore to put things on sale

davidh777

Mostly stuff we've seen before, but I might be ready to try The Witcher 3. Was the consensus that the Arkham extra content wasn't that great?

fumanstan

I'm hoping there's more sales throughout the week.

DVDChris

Think I'm going to have to get Witcher 3. Gamespot made it their game of the year.

Music

Ditto.

I'm also waiting for the official full sale start... the last time I bought something early (Tales from the Borderlands), it cost me more since the bundle went on sale during the official time frame.

Stop putting the same stuff on sale (for the same prices?) and instead put on other stuff, or the DLC of the same stuff, ie Forza 6 VIP, Car pass, etc.

Hopefully the daily deals are better.

dan30oly

$5 for titanfall?

Was the game really that bad?

Decker

No, it was okay. But it's online only, shallow and probably dead online now.
Plus it's included with EA Access and it's probably smarter to put $5 towards a year of that.

fumanstan

I played on PC, but I thought Titanfall was really good. I got bored quick, but never did go back and play when all the DLC was given out for free. I've heard folks say on CAG that there are plenty of players online though.

fumanstan

Official list from Major Nelson -

http://majornelson.com/2015/12/21/th...est-sale-ever/

There's daily deals as well. Today is a PopCap bundle of PvZ Garden Warfare and Peggle 2, along with Need for Speed.

Decker

For a company that swung an exclusive deal for EA Access, they sure like putting those "free" Vault games on sale a lot.

fumanstan

Wasn't it less "exclusive deal" and more Sony didn't want it? Just seems like a funny way to put it.

redcat

Their insistence on listing percentage discount rather than actual prices is really annoying.
