Countdown to 2012 - ITSP Half Price

Xbox Marketplace has kicked off its holiday sales with "Countdown to 2012" and is offering Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet at 50% off for the entire duration of the promotion. Quite a steal, if you ask me.

You might also want to pick-up the add-on, Shadow Hunters. The add-on is awesome, but we need more people playing it on Xbox Live so that gamers can get the full benefit. It really shines when you can get a team together.

In the meantime, the game has been picking up more award nominations. Here are the latest:

Best Downloadable from Velocity Gamer Best of 2011

Best Xbox 360 from Diehard GameFAN’s 2011 Gaming Awards

Best of XBLA from IGN Best of 2011

Best Xbox 360 from 2011 Gamers' Choice Awards

Best Downloadable from BuzzFocus: Best of Video Games 2011

For Your Consideration

There's about one thousand videos of Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet on YouTube from various sources, so I feel a bit hesitant about adding more. However, since I had to create new videos for awards submissions (yes, it's that time of the year again), I thought I'd share them here.

The first one features gameplay footage with in-game music from the Shadow Hunters mode, composed by Andrew Scott, Troy Lawlor and Dan Bruington.



The second video features game's cinematics with music by Dimmu Borgir.
