I'm tempted as well, but it's on my wishlist and I don't know if my Secret Santa's gonna get it for me or not...
Ooo, the risk! This is the bit that I hate about Secret Santa!
Why not buy it as a gift and add it to your inventory? Then if you do get it you can trade it with someone for something else or use it as a birthday gift or a last minute christmas present. I did that during the summer sale.
It's half-off today only, and I had some Microsoft points sitting around that I didn't realize I had.
You intrigued me, since I hadn't heard of Fez before. So I picked this and Sonic Adventure 2 up during the platformers day of the 14 days of Christmas on XBLA.
I also picked up The Simpsons arcade game on XBLA when it was on sale too. I loved that game so much when I was little. I must have put at least $20 worth of quarters in to get to the end at the arcade. Now for $5, I can beat it whenever I want. Modern technology is great.
I bought Hydro Thunder Hurricane for XBLA when it was in stores. The original Hydro Thunder was a favorite of mine in arcades, and Hydro Thunder on the PlayStation got me through the grief of my dad's death (much to the anger of the family on my dad's side, who thought it wrong that I play games while the family is working on getting things ready for the wake (my dad's family is 100% Irish Catholic and very religious), so a traditional Irish Catholic wake means a lot to them). They don't seem to understand that everyone grieves in their own way.
Unpleasantness aside, I do like the Hydro Thunder series, and the new one is really fun too (and you can't go wrong with it being only $5 when it was on sale).
His reviews and books always reflect a true passion for film, whilst also being an absolutely hilarious riot of fully justified anger aimed at modern Hollywood.
His latest book has a wonderful rant chapter on Mark's current arch-nemesis; 3D movies. As usual, he's spot-on.
Well, I'm celebrating my birthday tonight, so 7 crates of "Hertog Jan" beers, 2 bottles of Smirnoff vodka, a bottle of Bowmore Single Malt, 6 bottles of wine, 2 bottles of Bombay Sapphire gin, a bottle of Jägermeister, 12 bottles of soda, 5 grams of White Widow...
... I want to say worse, but I don't know if it is or not.
It's certainly got a worse story... And worse graphics... and a worse protagonist...
Drascula, Malcolm's Revenge, Runaway 2? There's probably hundreds of games that are worse than BttF by those criteria, excluding gameplay, but those came to mind. Depending on your definition of worse graphics.
If you're gonna say something bad about The Dream Machine...
Yeah, I was thinking that, Lume or the Neverhood, but I can't imagine he'd dislike them so much.
If it's graphics that makes the characters look like cardboard boxes it could be Simon the Sorcerer 3. Or my latest Steam purchase, but I don't think it's that bad even if I haven't played it yet.
I'm actually very shocked steam didn't put the pass on sale. (At least I didn't see it on offer)
But DLC for borderlands was worth every penny, and I suspect this game will have some good DLC too!
EDIT: Also for £5 a Wii Component Cable (3rd Party one)
A little expensive for what it is, but I moved the Wii to a smaller 22" LG TV/Monitor, and while some games like Skies of Arcadia and Rhythm Heaven Fever look nice, Xenoblade looks like ass.
(I mean, not all of us can afford £1000+ super PCs that can run Gamecube/Wii games in 1080p! (Damn best friend and his super PC that runs basically everything on MAX. I am sooooo jealous! ))

Scrooge!
Last bought some gift tags, since that's the one thing I forgot. Like I ALWAYS do.

Genius.

I... I didn't even know such a thing existed. That's amazing!
Reefer Madness Live
House on Haunted Hill Live
Plan Nine From Outer Space Live.
Also, bought the movie "8 Mile" off of iTunes. Eminem is like the best rapper I've ever heard.
<Insert rant about not being able to gift extraneous copies of games in bundles here>
And 3 CDs for myself on christmas from Amanda palmers online store.

Best. Film. Critic. Ever.

The Arkham series is great!
(I've got another adventure game to finish first, and it's not a pleasant one...)
Back to the Future?
and some snacks.

Also, it's for a review, so it's really gotta be bad.
And that's all the clues you get!

Last bought Just Cause 2. Yes, finally. Even though I can't play it because my PC uses WinXP. I am an idiot with far too much disposable income.
Wasn't there like that IndieGoGo-funded one that was also a musical or something? That one?
I'm not missing this game a second time waiting for my secret santa to move, eventually.
You haven't gotten anything yet? That sucks.
