"5th Cell is fairly well known as the company that brought us Drawn to Life and Scribblenauts, very innovative games that allowed players to draw most of the game art assets and write most of the game’s story themselves, respectively. This wasn’t a bad thing, the functionality of the games allowed for a decent amount of freedom and later Scribblenauts games allowing for more and more detailed objects to spawn and use. This time around 5th Cell hasn’t made Hybrid to be fun little cartoony game though, stepping into the genre of the shooter 5th Cell is hoping to bring the innovation it’s brought to its previous games to the third-person shooter and massive multiplayer online play-styles. With the gameplay split into seasons and the first season having been completed this past weekend, it’s time to look at the game as a whole."
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.

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.
not wasting my time on this game.
