Giant Robot's Christmas Game Night

December 17, 2010

According to Game, Set, Watch, this weekend Giant Robot Los Angeles will host its fourth Game Night get-together and it will offer some special Christmas fun. Giant Robot's Game Nights are free bi-monthly parties that celebrate indie titles and invite people to play games in a casual, friendly environment.

With the help of Attract Mode and Meat Bun, this Saturday's event will feature the following:

- An X-mas edition of Vlambeer's hit indie game Super Crate Box made exclusively for Game Night

- Arthur Lee's Merry Gear Solid games

- A custom "holiday pack" edition of 8-BITar Hero, which mixes the Rock Band experience with old-school Nintendo games

Other highlights include a playlist of 8-bit Christmas Tunes, hot cocoa (!!), and cookies!(!!!) The Christmas event takes place Saturday night from 7:00 - 10:00PM. More details here.

james_fudge: two female presenters05/21/2013 - 1:40pm
E. Zachary Knight: Quote: Are developers forced to create games that have these online features, and are thus not playable offline? They are not, Xbox exec Whitten said to Wired — but “I hope they do.”05/21/2013 - 1:40pm
E. Zachary Knight: The Wired article I linked to earlier has a different story. While it will be possible to play offline, that is a game to game thing, not standard. http://www.wired.com/gamelife/2013/05/xbox-one-analysis/05/21/2013 - 1:39pm
Andrew Eisen: According to Geoff Keighley, Don Mattrick says Xbox One is not always on. https://twitter.com/geoffkeighley/status/33690727595023155305/21/2013 - 1:35pm
Andrew Eisen: Just like how Sim City needs the cloud for various computations. (Note to anyone unaware: Sim City does not need the cloud for various computations. That was a barefaced lie by EA Maxis.)05/21/2013 - 1:24pm
MaskedPixelante: So all in all, more of the same, with the possibility of used game restrictions and always on DRM disguised as "cloud computing".05/21/2013 - 1:20pm
Andrew Eisen: Absolutly zero gameplay footage. Doesn't look like there are going to be a lot of games ready to launch by the end of the year.05/21/2013 - 1:12pm
E. Zachary Knight: They didn't talk about any of the other exclusives. I guess they are saving that for E3.05/21/2013 - 1:06pm
E. Zachary Knight: quicknoid, They have 15 exclusives coming in the first year with 8 of them being original franchises. I think Ghosts is at least a timed exclusive.05/21/2013 - 1:06pm
MaskedPixelante: Maybe they could stick some facial recognition software on the new Kinect to keep 12 year olds off of Xbox Live. That'd be nice.05/21/2013 - 1:06pm
ddrfr33k: I'm still not holding my breath05/21/2013 - 1:04pm
ddrfr33k: Hmm...If Ghosts has as much emphasis on the story as they say they do, they might be able to turn the series around...05/21/2013 - 1:04pm
quiknkold: The Halo TV Show is the only thing that impressed me.05/21/2013 - 1:03pm
quiknkold: so to summarize. Xbox One is a Glorified Television box with gaming capabilities. Voice activated tv because people are getting lazyer than using a remote control. more kinect, no exclusive games, and they only show sports games and call of duty05/21/2013 - 1:03pm
Sleaker: looks like no more MS hardware for me.05/21/2013 - 1:02pm
ddrfr33k: Whee, new CoD! More detail! Same 12 year old shits online!05/21/2013 - 12:57pm
E. Zachary Knight: XBox One will launch later this year to solve all your TV viewing needs.05/21/2013 - 12:53pm
E. Zachary Knight: So far the XBox One is all about TV, Windows, and sports. Such a wonderful combination.05/21/2013 - 12:50pm
E. Zachary Knight: Halo TV series rather than a movie. Interesting.05/21/2013 - 12:47pm
E. Zachary Knight: A Second Female Presenter!!!! Has the world collapse on itself?05/21/2013 - 12:45pm
