    In reply to Hey, Looky That. UFC Undisputed 2010's Dated
    I loved the first one until I went online and found that any time I went or a submission my opponent would quit.

    Lets hope this years effort can live up to the trailer from E3 07

    [www.gametrailers.com]

    So fluid, so many broken promises.

    The UFC demo was surprisingly engaging.

    Unfortunately, the full product suffered from an absolutley horrible interface and prolonged loading times.

    While a mate and I spent a few fun hours pounding each other with the demo, I only booted up the full game twice.

    Once you put on the armour in-game, it probably spends all it's time asking you if you'd like to buy the ME2 guide book. And if you decline, it will forcibly remind you every ten minutes not to forget that you can get $5 off any new game if you trade this one in.

    @plasticmouse: Maybe they'll do what they did in Dragon Age, where a guy stands in your camp and gives you a quest that takes you to the DLC-purchasing screen on acceptance.

    Personally I'm more interested in the PC bonuses.

    I'm eagerly waiting for a Mass Effect 2 pre-order option to pop up on Steam.

    It's already available on D2D and GamersGate so I don't know what's taking so long... GG even has a Digital Deluxe Edition like Dragon Age had, only they don't say what the bonuses are.

    Hopefully the same thing'll be available on Steam soon!

    @Fieldy: After a long discussion with myself, I too have decided to get it for PC. The only thing is, I think I'd like a physical copy... (call me old fashioned).

    I guess we'll just have to see what sort of deals crop up through Steam, as the big day approaches.

    @Fieldy:

    Most likely won't come out on Steam, as it's an EA game and they already have their own DD services, while D2D and GamersGate are not publishers like Valve.

    Basically, only /old/ EA games ever hit Steam, due to competition and capitalism.

    @out-phaze: So by your definition Dragon Age was old at launch? It was available for pre-orders on Steam for I don't know how long before release.

    Also you seem to forget that EA publishes the 360 versions of Valve games. So it's not like the two companies aren't already doing business together.

    It's true that EA have their own DD service, but they're also smart enough to realize that Valve are the big dogs in that court. They would lose sales by not being on Steam as LOADS of people (myself included) will only buy their digital copies through Steam.

    Not even an awesome gun and armor are worth being hassled into preordering every game of 2010 is enough to make me buy it there. Sorry Gamestop. Preordered and paid off on Amazon.

    As much as I hate to give Gamestop any of my gaming money, DAAAAAAAAAAMN if that video didn't help convince me that I should probably go preorder that sooner rather than later.

    Alas, if only Best Buy had a preorder bonus, I'd go with them instead.

    "Hadron Collider" and "Your Ass." You were only one typo away from making the title the most hilarious thing I've read all day.

    That said, I hate hate hate retailer-specific in-game content.

    Perhaps this wouldn't be possible, but it's too bad that pre-order purchasers can't simply decide which bonus they want (by, I don't know, receiving one of three voucher codes or something) the day they pick up the game. I guess everyone could have what they wanted, maybe?

    Well, it is basically a pawn shop...

    F'ing sweet that they still tried to offer him the warranty.

    What was the clerk's sales pitch for that one?

    In reply to Buying A Neo Geo Pocket, From GameStop, In 2009
    I picked one up new a few years back, including 6 games in a blister pack for $50. I wasn't too impressed, already having a GBA SP at the time, but it is a neat little system with fun games.

    It seems to be about as good as a GB Color, but it has lots of NeoGeo IP, so that's a big plus. Overall, it's a keeper even though it doesn't get much use. Plus my friends always freak out when they learn it's a NeoGeo and assume that it must have cost a fortune.

    Aside from the game library, the NGPC was technically superior in all ways.
