Xbox LIVE 'Deal of the Week' for 03/11 - 03/17/14

This week's Xbox LIVE 'Deal of the Week' features a decent number of XBLA games, some of which have never been on sale before--like Sanctum 2 and Hexodius--and a few great Games on Demand titles--like the ridiculously fun Earth Defense Force: Insect Armageddon and the beautiful, charming jRPG, Eternal Sonata; and, speaking of Eternal Sonata, I'd pick it up because, thanks to this sale, I may just make it the next Game Club game after the current Game Club--which is all about Dead Rising 2: Case West--is over.

To get the games and whatnot, go straight to the Xbox LIVE 'Deal of the Week' page by clicking THIS, or enjoy individual links below. Enjoy them or else! Or else I'll send more empty threats.

Steam Weeklong Deals for 03/10 - 03/17/14

Tis another week of weeklong deals on Steam and the number of games included in these sales only seems to be getting larger and larger; at this rate, each weeklong sale will start feeling like a mini holiday sale--which may or may not be a good thing for your wallet. That said, I plucked out a handful of games I recommend and listed them below--the full list of game can be found by clicking this upcoming bit of bold text: full list of deals. Of the games listed below, I highly recommend Gas Guzzlers Extreme--which is a surprisingly good combat racer--and both The Night of the Rabbit and Chaos of Deponia--two beautiful adventure games from developer/publisher, Daedalic Entertainment. (These deals are good until 12pm CST, March 17, 2014.)

The Pixelated Sausage Podcast #154: Board Game Friday with Cyclades, Citadels, and Tokaido

In today's weekly board game episode, I talk about Tokaido--check out the Collector's Edition available now via Kickstarter--Citadels--a great card game for large groups--and Cyclades--which is kind of like an extremely complicated (and awesome) Risk-esque game. After that, I have a hard time finishing as I talk about the Game Frame a bit more and why I think The Simpson LEGO set is a bit disappointing. Anyway, if you want to be extra cool, you should seriously check out Frontburnr, register, and join our lovely little party.

The Pixelated Sausage Podcast #153: I've Got a Stick Down South, True Story

In today's episode, I talk about South Park: The Stick of Truth because Redbox just remembered they rent video games too and decided to get a new one in for a change. I also talk about what to expect from tomorrow's board game episode--don't expect much.
