The release of Limbo last week raised a familiar debate about the seemingly random pricing of downloadable titles. The Cursed attempt to make some sense of it by discussing and comparing notable games from the XBLA library, and decide whose opinion is correct. Threesomes of the Week returns to promote piracy and ambient Halloween music. Our On the Spot question: What is the most embarrassing game you have ever loved? In the end, we also show some love to PlayStation Network titles, and try and get Hollywood moving on some of our anticipated video game based movies.
