I plan on getting Flower, Fat Princess, and Stardust HD!!!!!!!!

yaris

Trails HD, Splosion Man, Assault Heroes 2

I plan on getting these at somepoint in the near future: Shadow Complex, Trials HD and Osmos. I've also been wanting that Pac Man Championship Edition for a good while.

Merry Christmas Everyone! :)

TMNT 1989 and Pac-Man me and my brother grew up playing these games in the arcade.. well when i was growing up arcades were slowly going away so we got pac man on sega.. but yea hope i win... just to relive them good ol memories of child hood. not a care in teh world lol.. *CROSSES FINGERS* Viva La Mexico!

Wow, there are so many choices out there. I am looking at gettin the Fallout 3 DLC (point lookout, brotherhood of steel, mothership zeta) all on my 360. I'm also looking at Flower and flow on the PS3. I'll keep my fingers crossed and hope I win this awesome competition.

I think it is time to pick up Castle Crashers, looks like good fun for me and some friends.

SPLOSION MAN for sure!

^ Hope you all burn in a fire. :D

Bionic Commando

flow, flower, and braid

Not much. My 20gb HDD is full, money is tight, and a 60gb\120gb costs too much (compared to off the shelf). Pretty much buying all my downloadable games off Steam and elsewhere for less. Shame though as there is easily $200 worth of DLC on XBL I want to buy.

I'd probably say Bionic Commando is high on my list. I have Shadow Complex, Castle Crashers, and Geometry Wars 2.

yes

i dont have money and i need xbox live so till i get it i cant download. but i want marvel vs capcom 2 and bioshock

yarp

I still need to grab Shadow Complex, MvC2, Garou, and the Turtles in Time remake. XBLA has so many good games.

Perfect freakin' Dark, whenever it comes out.

Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo HD Remix. I remember my eyes going blurry playing the original back on the Saturn.

The Trials HD DLC pack!

Justpicked up Shadow Complex on sale and looking to get Flower, Noby Noby Boy, as well as Pain on the PS3.

was gunna buy splosion man of course wit this i can just get it :)

I just want some dlc :

All of them! Muahahahhaah. I've actually been on a digital download kick (mostly via Steam). I'm waiting for borderlands to dip below the $25 mark before I bite on that one.

I still need to buy Castle Crashers, but it's not worth my own points. :(

I have been looking to get Castle Crashers and Alien Hominid for a while now. Bionic Commando looks awesome. I'm always on Xbox Live so that would be a major plus.

Shadow Complex, Ikargua, and N+

I plan on downloading Audiosurf, N+, and whatever games Steam puts on their amazing deal list this holiday season!

The Witcher, HAWX, Babo Invasion and Torchlight from the Steam deals.

castle crushers, borderlands and its dlc :D

Rez HD, Trials HD, Battlefield 1943, Puzzle Quest, Megaman 9, and some other stuff. Also I need to renew my gold as I just reverted back to silver yesterday so PLEASE PICK ME! =) TY and have a wonderful Christmas.

I want to get Diner dash for my g/f so she as something to do in her apartment. She has no internet so I have to do it at my place.

I think I'll get flower

PJ Shooter; Shadow Complex; SOCOM Cold Front (yes, I still play this game).

I've been holding out but need to get Splosion Man and Street Fighter HD.

Alien Breed Evolution.

I hope to buy Splinter Cell CT from Xbox Originals. I keep losing my disc.

Trails HD and of course...

the new Puzzlequest game!!!1

plz

Fallout 3 dlc.

Hoping to let the wife give me the A-OKAY on Trials HD DLC, Saints Row 2 (games on demand), Alien Breed and any DLC that comes with any games I hope I didn't pleed for too much to be received on xmas day :)

Definitely need to go and play Braid.

Anything on Steam. Might pick up Splosion Man for the 360, and Pixel Junk Shooter for the PS3.

Borderlands DLC

Alien Breed Evolution, Chapter 1 and your momma.

Blood bath and beyond

I want to get Castle Crashers.

Planning on finally getting shadow complex and an obscene amount of rock band DLC.

prolly rent some movies over the break...

Shadow Complex and the rest of the Fallout dlcs, because I like to be late better than never.
