Anyone that wants to use the "counter" thing can just go back and edit their old posts - no need to add new ones. Dunno if you want to put the link and the instructions in the first post? |

Christ, I'm already really blowing my prediction. I've just pre-ordered whimsical indie platformer Pirates of New Horizons after being thoroughly charmed by their original prototype some years ago which adds roughly another <£12.50> (depending on exchange rates). Also, I've been ill all week and had a pretty shite time of it so was looking for something easy and fun to blow through given that I can't face the rest of Zelda while I feel this way. I played the demo of the recent Tin-Tin game through Gaikai the other day and thoroughly enjoyed it, plus the co-op levels are meant to be fun so Mrs B might be convinced into giving it a go, so I picked that up today for another <£15>. |

I was tempted to spend £2.29 on a snooker game on my phone but I've downloaded the trial and so far, it just keeps going! I've played loads of games against loads of fictional players and it seems as full a game as can be. That's saved me some money. |

It was one of the major selling points for me getting one of the phones at all. Vision: the free ad-supported ones like Sudoku and Minesweeper have 50G, but the premium ones have 200G, just like XBLA games. |

Haven't spent anything in 2012 yet, can't imagine I'll be spending too much since I don't have live anymore and there aren't many games coming out that excite me at the moment. Unless I can find batman for a fiver or something like that I expect it to stay pretty low. |

<£0.58> on Dead Space for Android. I was thinking about pulling the trigger on this anyway and it's got a massive reduction in the current Android sale thing so this was a no-brainer. I'm currently playing through Duke Nukem on the train so I'll move onto Dead Space as soon as that's finished and that'll hopefully keep my occupied for a good while. If any other decent stuff turns up in the Android Market daily deals as part of this promotion though I'm sure I'll snap them up. |

Still haven't spent a thing this year. I stopped my LoveFilm sub when I finished Dark Souls and started Skyrim. Skyrim was a Christmas gift so no cost there either. Oh and MarkG has let me borrow his copy of Il-2 Sturmovik and Alan Wake so that will keep me going for ages still. |

Bloody Game selling games cheap. Bulletstorm - £2.99 Brink - £2.99 Bayonetta - £2.98 Killzone 2 - £0.49 Truth or Lies - £0.49 and my soul Minus 3 quid from a game card I've had since trading games in for Forza 3. <£6.94> I'm hoping that's the last from me for a while. Although a cheap deal on Rock Band 3 and the keyboard would probably tempt me. |
