I love it. Has a lot of replay ability in my opinion as you keep all your guns and can get bonuses maxing them all out and such. It takes like two or three hours probably to get fully used to the controls, then it's a non issue.

It's an absolute blast to play co-op with.

Neighbor bought that game and plays it all the time. I played it a couple of times. Easy pick up and play.

Tried the demo last night, I love it. Wife did, too. Will likely be picking it up at some point.

I got the 360 version as a gift and the frame rate drops are very annoying (to the point that I may never finish it.) Otherwise, the graphics are fine from what I've seen so far.

Thanks.. I think I'll pick this one up soon when it's $54.99 used at Gamestop and then I can get an additional $5.49 with my Edge card.

Wow......heavy duty PS3 sale over on Amazon UK. Not sure how long it lasts. 50% off a ton of PS3 titles. Great deal for both Euros and even North Americans. Shipping is relatively cheap to the U.S., so you can still get the game for cheaper than its American counterpart in most cases.

After some more time with this game it is a great game IMO. Solo play has been a blast, and pretty challenging at times. They did an excellent job of keeping it from being the same thing. Every 'mission' has felt different, none of it like the same thing just in different scenery.

I have done some online play now. The first time I thought it was just ok, but of course have played it a couple more times. The more I play it online the more I like it, and overall I like how things are done. The game modes are cool, but mainly I think it is great how you can do all the game modes in one game and it switches from one to the other right away while playing.

Sounds great

Lots of Wii deals today, though your mileage may vary.

Toys R Us has Trauma Center: New Blood for $14 shipped.

Amazon Deal of the Day is Wii Music for $29.95. In addition, there will be 5 Amazon Gold Box deals related to Wii being offered today.

Guessing from the clues, it looks like the 2PM PDT deal will be Mario Galaxy and 6PM will probably be Animal Crossing- just guesses tho

SI

What's a Gold Box deal?

It's their "deal of the day" sort of thing- there is a daily one and then a few hourly ones. To get to them, go to Amazon and just click on the "Today's Deals" with the little treasure chest next to it

SI

For those of you who are still stuck at the turn of the century, the PS2 will have a new price point of under $100 dollars come April 1st.

48 hour madness sale ongoing over at GoGamer.com. PC games for as little as $1........

I'm obsessed with Peggle. Been playing about 4 hours a day.

I'm trying to perfect my ball dropping technique, like a still developing male fetus.

LOL. I've been playing it about as much as my 5 year old. Trying to get my scores up on individual boards to improve my ranking. My boy thinks I'm a god now because I cleared the board on 3 different levels. Gotta love kids. Peggle's just a fun little time waster game. Easy to play and strangely addicting.

any of these games worth a damn?

If you've never played it and don't mind older graphics, Dungeon Siege with Legends of Aranna is worth the 3 dollars.

Sid Meier's Railroads is pretty good at $4. Also, ParaWorld is a fun game and it's only $2. Those were the ones I noticed.

I was thinking of getting Railroads, and maybe Diplomacy. Anyone know much about that?

I got a good laugh out of this.

Couple of great deals that I saw over at GamerDays at GameStop. GH: Aerosmith is only $9.99 on all systems.

For the people who own a PS3 and haven't enjoyed Valkyria Chronicles, it's on sale for $29.99. It's a great mix of turn-based and live-action strategy. It's a can't miss title and for under $30, it's an absolute steal.

Who is getting the new DSi?

I wonder what American demand is going to be like. I walked into Walmart this morning and bought one. They had about 20 of them.

I don't know of anyone even considering one. I certainly have no interest as of now. It would take a lot to make me interested, frankly.

There aren't enough exclusives yet for me to pick a DSi up but I'll get one eventually.

Looks like a potential million seller based on current trends. Loved the IGN reviewer.

Bobbie Battista is down to reading fake news? Wow. Wasn't she on CNN not too long ago?

Left after the merger in 2001, opened a PR firm with her husband & several ex-CNN mgmt types shortly after.

That closed a couple of years back, she briefly hosted a show for Retirement Living TV but left when they were about to go under and then ended up working with The Onion.

LLLOOOOVVVEEE the side missions!

That is one of the few times I've actually LOL'd at my desk at work...

There is a website for Close Range, and there is a demo!

Close Range Game

Wii Sports Resort and Wii MotionPlus will be released in July for North America (one month after Japan).

The swordfighting game Nintendo showed off at last year's E3 looked pretty fun but I'm really looking forward to this for Tiger Woods 10 and Grand Slam Tennis, both of which will use the peripheral.

Very good deal for PS3 owners who haven't picked up the official headset yet. Newegg has Endwar /w headset for $39.99.

I see the release date is May 19th for UFC 2009 Undisputed. Looks like they have a decent roster of fighters and what I have seen video of looks potentially promising. Sounds like it could be a bear to learn all the controls for the ground game though.

DL'ed the Demo. I went in with no real expectations but wow it's fun. The ground game is amazing, better then I would've imagined. Striking is great too. It's just bad ass all around.

Demo comes out thursday, right?

Yup. Tho there is a way around that though.

Sweet. Fess up, how did you get the demo...

It involves a dark alley and a large tube of KY.

I think I can wait until Thursday then... now if this was an indoor lacrosse game...

New trailer out for inFamous. If the world needs anything, it's more sniper lightning........

So, you get to be like Sylar? Cool, I'm game.

New 'Battlefield' game coming to Xbox Live and Playstation Network in June and PC in September. Price will be $15.

Because we need more plastic peripherals in our living rooms, http://www.gametrailers.com/player/48068.html.

Looks like Sony is taking a page from the Microsoft playbook. Anyone who preorders inFamous will receive early access to the inFamous demo and will also be able to play in the Uncharted 2 multiplayer beta. No word on whether it's a retailer exclusive or not.

Good trade in deal on a console right now. Gamestop is paying retail price ($99) for a PS2 trade-in when you use the credit towards the purchase of a PS3. So you can get a PS3 for $299 with trade in of your PS2.

Has anyone picked up The Path ? Great game if you f.e. like David Lynch Movies .

official page : The Path -------- a short horror game by Tale of Tales
steam : The Path on Steam
IGN review : IGN: The Path Review (there´s more on the official page)

for me as a very casual gamer it has been brilliant, even if not considering the price of 9,99 (dollars). I almost never play anything other than possibly NBA2K or Pro Evolution Soccer along with text sim games though, so i´m not a good reference.
Saw an advertisement in a cultural newspaper here, read some very enthusiastic reviews and decided to give it a try.

It´s based on the popular children´s legend of Little Red Riding Hood (The Brother´s Grimm told the most well known variation).
You have 6 characters (6 sisters) of varying age and personality to choose from (though in the end you´ll have guided all 6 one after the other) that you then have to guide to the Grandmothers house. If you stay on the path though, nothing happens at all. So you have to stray off the path and then a story unfolds.

There´s not much gameplaying really, but for me that´s a good thing as i suck at it ;)

Basically it´s an animated story with a ton of atmosphere. As you guide each of the characters (i have started with 2, so it´s preliminary anbd based on reviews) through the world you experience things differently and get sucked into the characters issues and fears as you go along.
It´s like a good short film just as a video game. Not a ton of action or a great deal of storylines, but still has you thinking.

How good is inFamous supposed to be?

Uhm, good.

The general e-consensus seems to be that the Infamous demo rules. I don't have a code so I'll have to wait until it's on PSN (May 21 iirc)
