I hear you about Luigi's Manion's controls. I had some issues too but I want to go back and finish it. i loved the graphics in that game.
That same sale you mentioned had Alice: Madness Returns for $7. I couldn't resist that. I almost bit on Mirror's Edge and Catherine, but I have to keep spending under control.
Wired's Game/Life podcast this week talked a lot about Bravely Default. I've played the demo, but I'm still not 100% sold on it yet.
