Also the full version of Tiger Woods 12 (for ipod/iphone and ipad) is free. I got it when it was 99 cents and thought it was a steal then. Obviously at 'free' it's even better... Read more

I think the campaign so far is much stronger than gears 1 or 2. Especially the Cole section of Act 1 I thought was very well done. The part where he gets to his old locker room and flashes back to running onto the field was surprisingly touching and effective. The story is never going to be the main draw for a Gears… Read more

But wait, now how much would you pay!?! If you act now, we'll throw in the 1970 moon rover and spongebob's 'Krabby Patty' mobile. Read more

So my copy of Gears didn't magically show up from amazon a day early yesterday so I continued to try to revive my Street Fighter 4 skills. I'm using an arcade stick for the first time (from the tekken 6 bundle - great value) and I have to say I feel a lot more precise. I am able to get my moves including ultras out… Read more

I had way more fun with the new NBA Jam than I ever did with any of the 'proper' basketball games. I will continue to pass on 2k12 and proceed to enjoy the hell out of 'on fire edition' (assuming they cleaned up the multiplayer code so that more than 1 out of every 3 games can be completed). Read more

Seriously considering Battlefront 2 because I've heard such good things about it. Does anyone know if the servers are still active and/or if it would be crushingly frustrating for a new player to learn without getting killed every 2 steps? Read more

I was on the fence about it as well, but I finally caved in a day or two ago and preordered from amazon. The $20 in credit is a nice sweetener, and pretty much everything written about it is glowing. There is a ton coming out in the new couple of months, no doubt, but if it's really that terrible you can always sell… Read more

Hmm, I should look around and see if there are any events here in the Raleigh area. After all, this is where Epic is based goshdarnit! Read more

8-Zombie DLC Read more

Which is funny because you are in Ashburn VA which might be like the most networked area in the country. But believe me, I used to live around there so I know oh so well the pain of having no choice but Comcast. Read more

I still contend that a game that uses all the excellent trappings of the BF series (specialized classes, vehicle integration, destruction, etc) would be AMAZING with either a Mass Effect or Star Wars setting (not the freaking clone wars - straight up original star wars). Read more

Yeah. Oh well, I'm sure the one guy that got his retro city rampage shirt is super excited about the game! Read more

I thought MS had a policy to not allow free DLC; wasn't that what caused Valve to embrace the PS3 as it has? Or maybe Rockstar is actually paying MS to be allowed to release this for free, or maybe MS is just making an exception because they don't want it to only be free on the PS3 side? Speculation is fun! Read more

Agreed, it is most likely either intentional or coincidental ;) Read more

Gah, I botched it! Well, good excuse to go watch my Chapelle Show dvds again... Read more

That cat can ball! And then afterwards, he made us waffles. Waffles! Read more

Wow, nice tips; thanks. I disabled mouse acceleration, enabled v-sync, and also turned off all those intro movies! Read more

These fightpads have been in and out of my amazon cart a few times now. One of these days I'll pull the trigger ;) Read more

Yeah, I saw this earlier in the week and finally crumbled last night. I bought and finished the 360 version but never played any of the dlc. Plus the performance and control will be better on the pc so I figured it was easily worth $7.50. I put $10 in my steam wallet and used the left over $2.50 to open one of my… Read more

I am here to defend the honor of the Saturn controllers (which were totally awesome)! Unless you mean the big circular analog NiGHTS pad - that was just weird. Read more
