Major Nelson announced earlier this week that MS would be holding XBL deals starting Dec. 18 – 21. Keep an eye on your dashboard every day for the next week to see if you can snatch anything worthwhile. Today’s holiday deal is the 2010 glasses for your avatar, and can be obtained here: http://bit.ly/6I3s6t

The Army of Two: TFD Demo dropped yesterday, and my friends list is lighting up with potential buyers. Check the review section later this week to see my review of the demo itself, and my speculations for the outcome of the game.

Next week is going to be a big week for XBL Games on Demand, they’re dropping some big titles onto the marketplace including Lost Planet: Colonies Edition, and Devil May Cry 4. Gears of War will join the lineup December 29, just in time for the new year.
