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. |

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.

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

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

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. |

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

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. |

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.

Left after the merger in 2001, opened a PR firm with her husband & several ex-CNN mgmt types shortly after. Bobbie Battista thriving off the front lines - US News and World Report 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.

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. kotaku.com link |

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.

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

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 (thereīs 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 iīm not a good reference. Saw an advertisement in a cultural newspaper here, read some very enthusiastic reviews and decided to give it a try. Itīs based on the popular childrenīs legend of Little Red Riding Hood (The Brotherīs 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 youīll 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. Thereīs not much gameplaying really, but for me thatīs a good thing as i suck at it Basically itīs an animated story with a ton of atmosphere. As you guide each of the characters (i have started with 2, so itīs 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. Itīs 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. Last edited by whomario : 04-28-2009 at 08:59 AM. |

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)
