'Games for the Holidays' continues!

For the few of you that haven't already downloaded it, this week coming to Xbox LIVE Arcade:

ilomilo - 800 MSP
Explore the visually lush dream world of IloMilo. Challenge yourself with exciting puzzles as you dive deeper and deeper into the story. Play along with a friend or family member and share the journey. Beautiful and full of charm, the game is equally appealing to seasoned gamers and young families alike. The puzzles are easy to learn, but challenging and deeply rewarding to find all the hidden surprises. Experience the unique, fun new co-op experience where you and a friend or family member can take control of ilo and milo and help guide each other through the exciting puzzles. The 'Games for the Holidays' promotion was detailed by Dog of Thunder in his previous post:
Now what makes Games For The Holidays unique is that there is no discount on these games, no rebate if you buy all three. Instead, if you own and unlock an achievement in one game, it unlocks exclusive content in the other two titles. I will let Steve Taylor, creator of A World of Keflings and President of Ninjabee explain:

If you buy Raskulls or ilomilo you can build homes for characters from those games in A World of Keflings. Then those characters live in your game world and you can kick them around with the rest of your Keflings. At the same time, if you own A World of Keflings you can choose to have a Kefling as your playable character in Raskulls or dress up ilo and milo in swanky Kefling costumes.

ilomilo is brilliant. Starts super easy, but can be very tricky as you go. Great for puzzle-solving fans.

Haven't been won over by the other two yet. Will have to play the Raskulls demo myself instead of just watching

Pure Chemical Gaming!

I loved ilomilo - and it was fun to see them putter around with my Keflings. I've yet to check out Raskulls though - was kinda preoccupied with all the Countdown to New Year's deals

EDIT: speaking of New Year's, might want to change the title of the post to "2011" wink
