Amazon ftw (I'm broke now) and I have Tony Hawk American Sk8land for my DS, love it! I'm glad that Ride is failing, maybe end this peripheral crap. Seriously there are a ton of games that are good though so take the glass half full or half empty.
@TrigunGunner My thoughts exactly, I got all my deals from Amazon and at "doorbuster" prices/also got tons of blurays for like 8 to 10 bucks. Also got L4D2 from Best Buy at $35 and went in on the Buy 2 Get 1 Free Used Games at Gamestop to get Forza3/Shift/CoDWaW. Although I have a console so I'm good, glad everyone else will join in on the gaming bliss. I'd grab a PS3 now since they got their act together, plus I really want to play Rachet, but I a lot of less expensive items always wins out lol.
Yeah, that was good, I liked the C&C music the background in the beginning, (of course the David Wise music as well). One of the first things I did when I checked out Last.FM on my 360 was searched for OC Remix radio station. I love those guys and the remixes they do are almost entirely awesome. I never got a shout out as a new user a while ago but I've got enough self esteem to not care so much. I think Donkey Kong Country 1 & 2 will always be in my heart since it was my childhood and they were really good games but man Wise really did a great job with the music, (I esp love all the underwater levels as well). Rock on guys!
Nintendo says it's just like Pokemon, collect em all! Lol seriously they marketed the DS to old people and then had to make the XL so they could read the DS Lite's small text lol.
I have a DS Lite and sold off my DS along with Mario Kart Super Circuit, since Mario Kart DS has all the tracks (kept F Zero though)! If I had a younger brother (I'm the youngest) I'd get him another DS so we could play wireless locally, one thing I enjoyed alot at college.
One thing I'd like is to see my overall driving time for Mario Kart (like Rockstar stat page ha), gawd prob be a solid 2 years. Star Fox Command is a great game but the exclusion to skip those fucking annoying missile missions is the reason its on my shelf and I contemplated selling that sucker.
Touch works well with gameplay but sometimes the stylus gets in your way (with Zelda and Metroid), and they're making the stylus BIGGER!? wtf oh and I bought a M3 DS card to play all my games on one card, watch videos/movies and listen to my music on the go. (I do not pirate games on my card, I use it legitimately.)
Like to say my fav game of all time on the DS is China Wars and Meteos and Tetris also has an honorable mention.
Oh maybe the fact that the DS isn't selling like hot cakes now is the fact that everyone already has at least 2?! lol (You guys should have used Joystiq's DS printing money picture for this article ^^)
Yes, yes, GR breaks it down and it looks like a crazy Michael Bay movie. Well ok ok maybe that's going to far. ^^ On thing I didn't understand was with the airport scene, other than the no cameras part, was why would the police just let that ambulance speed off?! Cinematics my friend, it doesn't have to make sense, just entertaining.
Well you know everyone is going to buy the game so I think the devs took a bit of an edgy approach to this one but nothing more than any R rated flick. The torture scene made me think along with the space scene.
Its odd that they wanted to make the game pause every time you get hit or get a power up, possibly hard coded in the code?! I wonder how the co-op would be if there was one fluid motion. Hmm maybe they added in pauses so you couldn't just run through the level leaving your team mates off to die off screen. It's good to get a different perspective from a bunch of reviewers since I did a wtf when I saw 1up's A+. I agree with the retarted naming that Nintendo is following. I love Nintendo but I've grown up and I think they're just cashing in on the casual audience getting their first Mario fix.
The thing about the nuke is that this is modern warfare and I think Price decided its time to start over at square 1. One big reset button lol. But yea GR should have a wtf MW2 plot article! Makarov basically shifted into Shepard, I mean you didn't have the time to go after one since you were going after the other in the end.
Reach was glassed a month or two before the first game, not at the beginning of the war. The Master Chief's training ended before the war started. Also, the Master Chief never stepped foot on Reach during its fall. He was in an orbital station making sure the Covenant didn't find their way to Earth. However, I do hope that the story will be told from multiple perspectives. That's mainly why I liked Halo 2 and ODST's story so much. And as for class-based multiplayer...ABSOLUTLEY FUCKING NOT!!!!! Part of why I love Halo's multiplayer is that everyone's on even terms. I think Bungie should stick to what they've done. Keep the same excellent multiplayer while making improvements (new weapons, vehicles, and gameplay).
As for your Half-Life 2: Episode 3 predictions, I completely agree. Especially the part about keeping portal guns out of Half-Life.
GTA, don't really care as long as the new environment is good.
Mostly I think Gears of War 3 will happen like you've said. Except for a few things. Prescott didn't have the Sires researched on. It said in the game that it was under Chairman Monroe. And the Chairman before Prescott was Dalyell. So the Sires are at least two Chairmen removed. Also, Hoffman didn't know about the Sires until Delta did. And in the novels, he's mostly on good terms with all of them, even Marcus. Also, Cole and Baird had better not die!!!! I think if anyone dies, it'll be Dom. Call it a feeling.
I too am veggie as you say. And I just had to add that Cundy's list of Pixar films is clearly wrong. It's obviously:
Toy Story
Toy Story 2
Finding Nemo
The Incredibles
Wall-E
Monsters Inc
Ratatouille
Bug's Life
Up (haven't seen yet)
Cars (haven't seen yet but probably last anyway)
But I don't think I've disliked any of them that I've seen...
Oh, and I like frogs - that was a very harsh picture :/
I just figured the few PC titles weren't worth mentioning since they're already dirt cheap, and were pretty much ignored by retailers across the board.
Plus, I was trying to weigh the overall value all of the discounts:
-$30 Console game > -$5 PC game
@superjw701: Thanks for pointing those out. I fixed them, and just to be on the safe side double-checked all the feathers against their respective maps. I found that the map for CR5 was also wrong and, more embarrassingly, the location of SP3 was wrong on the large map. I've updated the small map images for Venice and the San Polo district, but the large ones will take a little longer.
I'd like to thank everyone for their patience and apologize for any inconvenience this has caused. Thanks also to iahtebrandon and superjw701 for pointing out specific errors - that was a big help.
@iahtebrandon: You're absolutely right; thanks for pointing out the errors. Regrettably, these things sometimes happen when we're working with lots of similarly named, similar-looking images, but I've updated SP7, CS3 and CS7 with the correct map images. If you (or anyone else) see any other errors, please leave a comment or message me directly.
