Carnival Games:In Action (360). <£9> including postage from Ebay. The seller has a few more if anyone's interested.

Not sure if it'll be any good on Kinect but I rather enjoyed it on the Wii

I've not actually tried it yet. It's an upscaled port of the original game. I guess if you don't mind touchscreen controls you'll get on fine.

Approximately <£6> on Fez. That's my first spend on computer games in 2012 (I think), not including three 360 games (Bulletstorm, CoD4, F3AR) I bought for Danielle for £25 the lot. I've since played some of Bulletstorm and F3AR though, so I'm going to add them in here now.

Edit -- turns out I'd already accounted for those three games, so I've removed the angle brackets from the above text.

Edit edit -- and it turns out I bought Ico & SotC, and some iOS games too. So in fact the "first spend in 2012" is a total lie.

<1.99> on new (to Android, existing on iOS) platform game Bean's Quest. It's gorgeously presented but in the end I just found the core mechanic irritating so I've uninstalled it. It seems to just be me that thinks that though as everyone else loves it so one to check out for any Android users.

It's replacement as my current game for <2.59> is Across Age DX purely due to it's similarity to SNES Zelda. So far there are enough similarities to keep me interested but the movement controls are a bit flawed so it remains to be seen whether it'll continue to be playable when the difficulty ramps up.

I'd say yes. I almost put my PS3 in here, but then it didn't work anyway. :(

I'm presuming you mean console?

But yes.. I'd say they should definitely be included. It's all going towards gaming spend isn't it?

Probably the first.

The only thing willing to say it it reached my number of games wanted vs price ratio. I'd be quite surprised if this was the case for anyone else here.

Nah. Various discounts are just a perk of the job. If I ever remember to find out what they are, that is.

And 360? Aye, I was on the indie area. But lack of time has pretty much halted progress there.

After the guttedness that was GazChap's PS3 getting a dose of the poorlies on its way to me earlier in the week, I managed to find a 'Used - Like New' 160GB slim on Amazon Marketplace today for £97.03, so snapped it up. No BC, but can't have everything, I suppose.

*edited to include partial refund <£57.03>*

<2.50> on Inertia: Escape Velocity HD for Android. The demo for this gravity related platformer was excellent so I've high hopes for it and would recommend Android and iOS people check it out. It's based on some student game that won loadfs of awards apparently although I haven't seen the original in action. There's also a browser playable demo here, although I haven't tried that myself either.

I really should cross-post some of this stuff to the actual Android apps thread in case anyone there gives a shit...
