Your Holiday Dose of Xbox LIVE Arcade

Xbox LIVE Arcade Holidays
As if scoring another exclusive chapter to the Dead Rising saga wasn’t enough, Microsoft has three other titles hitting LIVE between December 22 and January 5 at 800 points a piece, complete with some character crossover to loosely tie all three together for the holiday push – not exactly breaking news, but I figure it’s worth a reminder.

Kingdom building returns when A World of Keflings hits on December 22, Half Brick Studio’s Raskulls arrives on December 29, and ilomilo rounds out the list on January 5 – assuming you haven’t already gotten your mitts on that last one via super secret early promotion, which still seems to be generating codes, though they don’t seem to work anymore.

Catch a trailer for all three after the break.

PSA – Fluidity Hits WiiWare

Fluidity
Curve Studio’s form shifting title releases today for 1,200 points, and anyone curious about the game have no excuse to be left behind since Nintendo has also offered up a demo for the release.

Somewhere between playing as a pool of water that can transform into steam and ice, and tilting the WiiMote to affect events on screen, this feels like a splash of what Sony often hoards with titles like Loco Roco and PixelJunk Shooter – so fingers crossed as usual.

Catch some short video of the game in action after the break.

Ys: The Oath in Felghana
As always I’d like to thank everyone who took the time to enter our contest. If you didn’t all drop by we’d have to go find something else to do, and we’d really rather continue doing this instead.

This morning I entered everyone’s names into our new RandomTron 5000, which harnessed the power of science to give us our five winners.

Congratulations to Diego R., Eric, Radical Hair, Eden, and Skrams – codes have been dispatched to your in-boxes.

The RandomTron has spoken.

Return of the WiiWare Demo

WiiWare Demos
While other companies are offering discounts on digital software during the month of November, Nintendo has opted to treat us to the return of Demos for a selection of WiiWare titles. Starting November 22nd, gamers can sample Bit.Trip Fate, And Yet it Moves, ThruSpace and Jett Rocket, with additional demos being added each Monday and remaining available for “a limited time.”

Admittedly the title selection is nod worthy, but sometimes Nintendo reminds me of that relative that always gets me socks for Christmas. Sure socks are useful, but come on Big N, where’s the love?

Anyway, I’ll be optimistic today and hope that this demo idea catches on, I really believe it has potential.
