Re: Official Video Games Thread V: Collector's Edition

Yea so if you are on my XBL friends list I challenged you to a Game Room challenge. I just wanted the Achievement points really. :D

But if you have Game Room (free DL) go ahead and visit my arcade and play a game. More AP for me! :)

They have Yar's Revenge.

This will end well for nobody.
 
Re: Official Video Games Thread V: Collector's Edition

Tomorrow will be Wii Game day on Amazon.com. They'll be running Gold Box deals on games for the Wii throughout the day.
Thanks!

Edit to add: Where did you see that? I'm looking at their Wii page now and it doesn't seem to say anything about that.

I'm on their mailing list.

Just preordered Transformers: War for Cybertron from Best Buy. The deal is that you get a different special character depending on where you preorder from. I know Gamestop's special character is Shockwave, but Best Buy's is Jazz. :)
 
Re: Official Video Games Thread V: Collector's Edition

Hit up a video store that was going out of business yesterday just to poke around and got 2 pretty good deals, IMO...

Picked up a new copy of Guitar Hero World Tour for $6... Also got a used copy of ARMY MEN: Green Rouge for $.75.... Kinda looking forward to Army Men... I remember playing that series back in HS and having a lot of fun with the game...
 
Re: Official Video Games Thread V: Collector's Edition

Waiting for GLM's update on RDR - I'm picking mine up on the way home from whichever Target I stop at first and has it - I didn't pre-order :o

Hope I can check it out tonight still. I have a guy coming over to review possible deck plans for the house. I also have a standing 9-ish "play date" for MW2 with friends each night. I'm super close to my fourth prestige.
 
Re: Official Video Games Thread V: Collector's Edition

The Amazon gold box deals

Dance Dance Revolution 3 for Wii for $34.99 (all day)

Available for another hour (or until 100% claimed: Karaoke Revolution Bundle for $34.99

Hints for other deals:
12PM PT - Your nunchuk never had it this good.
2 PM PT - Sing the hits of the stars of pop!
5 PM PT - Slam dunk this game into your collection. (I'm guessing either NBA10 or NBA2k10)
7 PM PT - Get ready for Buzz and Woody!

It's freaking incredible and, like other Rockstar games, very easy to get distracted off the main missions by dicking around doing other stuff. I'll say this, shooting people while riding a horse is some how much easier than shooting coyotes from on top of a horse. Coyotes are a MAJOR pain in the arse. I've heard the mountain lions are worse but I haven't run into one of them yet.

If you've got a hunter's instinct you'll go nuts chasing after the wildlife while riding in between areas. Playing poker is pretty fun and a bit time consuming if you let it. Playing horseshoes makes almost no sense to me.

One tip, try not to trample any animals when riding through your home area or in town, you'll have a posse after you for killing someone's animal. :eek:

Thanks for the report. Did you buy a strategy guide? I probably will.

These are awfully underwhelming deals. Presumably two karaoke games, two crappy accessories, one basketball game and one game based on a movie? Weak.

(Thanks again for mentioning it though; not your fault the deals aren't great.)
 
Re: Official Video Games Thread V: Collector's Edition

Why can't I blame him? He got my hopes up. :)

JK, those deals are terrible though. Sometimes Amazon just really has awful awful deals for their deal of the day.
 
Re: Official Video Games Thread V: Collector's Edition

Curse these awesome reviews for RDR - I have about $40 in GameStop credit (which just makes it that much easier to buy) but I don't have time for a game like this. :D

Yes, they're crappy deals, but we aren't their primary target. We'll spend full price for a game. :p They're targeting people who normally wouldn't buy the games/accessories. Plus, they aren't going to put top games on sale (although that would be awesome).

I'd be more disappointed, but I'm still busy with The Show on PS3. :p

You might not have the time, but you want to play it. Just give in already.

I only played the 30 minute opening sequence so far. Now I am free to roam! :D Even that opening was pretty bad ***.

Ok enough chat, off to play. :)
