Tempting but Red Dead will keep me busy for a while longer. Accidentally killed my horse. Thank goodness I bought the piece of paper so I could get er back.

I finished the story (not 100% done with the game tho) so now I'm trying to run up a huge bounty. I was over $8000 but I got careless when retrieving ammo and got nailed in the head. :(
Amazing that the law will allow my horse to mosey up the streets of Armadillo to me when it's time for me to get away. You'd think they'd be a little smarter than that and kill the horse. :D

Not sure how I missed this, but the Amazon deal of the day is Tiger Woods 11 (June 8 release) for the PS3, XBox or Wii.
 
Re: Official Video Games Thread V: Collector's Edition

Wow, so this PS3 move is barely worth it. $50 for the controller, $30 for the second hand controller (whatever it's called, the "navigation" controller), plus another $30 for the Eye.

$110 for the setup? Give me a break. I thought about jumping into this if it got good reviews but you can't get away with $110 for a single controller setup.

This will work if Kinect ends up at a $100-$150 price point. Then they are just competing with each other.

I don't think it will matter what Kinect does quite frankly. Most people have already picked their pony in the next gen wars with the wii being owned by quite a few of those with one or the other. I don't see them being competitors since they aren't going to spur a lot of people to buy the other system. Unless the Kinect is $300 or vice versa.
 
Re: Official Video Games Thread V: Collector's Edition

I haven't played NHL 10 in forever, but Modern Warfare 2 is getting stale, so I popped it back in today and stated a Be A Pro Career as a Left Winger.

Part of the reason I stopped playing NHL 10 was because it was getting boring, it wasn't challenging enough, so I upped the difficulty to Super Star and will live with whatever happens in game.

Scored the only goal in the Prospects game (nice breakaway) and got drafted 10th, by no other than the Boston Bruins. :)

I love custom soundtracks, putting a ton of songs in to mimic goal songs and the like. I'm also making I'm Shipping Up To Boston the intro song, which is something I wish the real B's would do. Better than *******in Nickelback.
 
Re: Official Video Games Thread V: Collector's Edition

Speaking of not playing a game in forever. I finally went back to playing ESIV: Oblivion yesterday.

I had 3 Shivering Isles storyline quests to finish in order to complete all the stories in the game (I now have 2).

Not sure what my last play date was, but the last achievement I had from that game was on 8/20/2008. :eek:

It also reminds me that afterward I need to level up past 25 and do all the shrine quests and see all the max stat armors. I'm only level 8 or 9 at the moment.

Why not? A new wireless controller from Sony already costs around $40-45 by itself. With the Move you are paying for the two controllers plus the Eye.

I'm not sold on the whole thing anyway. I doubt I'll get the Kinect when it comes out for the Xbox 360. I don't even know if they have any games coming out for it (if they do it's probably not many) and I'm sure not going to blow $100 just so I can wave my hand in front of a motion sensor to selection an option on screen when I can simply do that with my controller. Maybe in a year or two if more games start going that route I'll consider it, but right now it's not worth it.
 
Re: Official Video Games Thread V: Collector's Edition

Picked up Mass Effect last week and started playing it this weekend. Only about 1 hour in - but liking it so far.

Also downloaded Shadow Complex through Microsoft's "Inventory Clearance" sale (Which makes no sense - it's a digital copy!). That little game is addictive - well worth 540 points.

Why not? Are you serious? I've already dropped $400 on a system plus an extra $40 on a standard controller. I'm not going to buy $110 SINGLE controller for soemthing I already get on my Wii. $40 for a controller is one thing, but $110?! It's going to have to get some rave reviews and I'm going to have to try it out before I spend that kind of money.
 
Re: Official Video Games Thread V: Collector's Edition

So.. who wants to finish those 6 new co-op missions in RDR tonight? :D

Oh sorry PS3 people, I have the 360 version.

Because its just money? :confused:

Are you really going to spend that $100 on something more useful? I doubt it. Maybe a couple meals out w/drinks, or some other junk you don't need but had to have.

Stop being so outraged about nothing. :p
