Kuma Wrote: Hi everyone this is Kuma and I was gifted with a beta code to play Hybrid on the Xbox 360. I honestly could not wrap my head around the concept because I was over thinking it. The jist of the matter is that Dark Matter has corrupted the world in the future and both sides of the world are trying to harvest it for their own reasoning. The whole thing is about controlling a resource to who’s to either save the world or conquer it even more. Hybrid is a very simple online based cover/camping game mechanic where you are limited in movements from cover to cover. This is another 3rd person cover based shooter that literally asks you to play with friends. In the menus there is an option to ask your party or xbox live friends to join you in a match before you start the game; hell it might as well say, “PLEASE COME PLAY THIS GAME WITH ME NOW!!” I am not saying it is totally a bad thing and you can’t force other gamers to chat with one another, but you would think people joining this game would realize that this is a team based shooter and watching each other’s back is important. I cannot bash this game too much….actually I can but I am trying to be nice about it. This is a beta, but it feels like the final product and I hope not.
Each and every month, various games and DLC are permanently discounted on the Xbox Live Marketplace.

Really? They've been doing this every month for years, in fact it's not even every month, they have new deals every week.

Difference is people on Xbox don't feel the need to shout and preach about it, unlike Sony fanboys.
Where have you been, probably never use a xbox 360 or live before as there are weekly and monthly discounts for years now.
This year was a year dominated by the rise of the Arcade. Half of the games in my top 10 were 15 dollars or less and that’s a huge testament to how big the Xbox Live Arcade has gotten in the past year. Apart from the ones on my list, other games like Fez, Journey (PS3 download but you get the message), and Trials Evolution are getting major consideration for awards on multiple other websites. That doesn’t mean there hasn’t been a fair share of retail releases that impressed on multiple levels. Tell that to Sleeping Dogs, Mass Effect 3, Far Cry 3, Assassins Creed 3, and Dishonored and they will prove you wrong. It wasn’t the best year, that’s for sure, but that doesn’t mean it didn’t impress in many ways.
Ben Rowland wrote: Hybrid’s lineage is perhaps one of its most interesting aspects. This unlikely project has 5th Cell, the developer of Nintendo DS-exclusive games such as Scribblenauts and Drawn to Life, making the leap into the realm of online shooters. Hybrid is a third person multiplayer-focused shooter that attempts to bring some new ideas to a genre that’s well beyond the point of saturation. While Hybrid makes a valiant attempt and succeeds in a few areas, it unfortunately isn’t the genre-bender that we had hoped for.
