Thanks for posting that, I just saw that as well. It's so close but there's no Saints Row 3 on the list so I'm passing for now. There will be other monster deals in the weeks to come so I'll bide my time and get Skyrim and SR3. I have to say I'm really excited about the sales this time of year. It reinforces my belief… Read more

No need to go kill yourself. Many online retailers *cough*amazon*cough* will have deals just as good to match the stores. Read more

Stephen, you mentioned 'lots of stealth' in your gut check - is that actually true for this installment? One of the main weaknesses I felt in Brotherhood was that none of the enemies or situations really felt deadly or called for a stealthy approach (except for the handful of story missions where you lost if someone… Read more

I'm holding out to see if amazon starts matching any of these prices. I have to admit I am kind of jealous seeing the great prices on Gears 3 and Forza 4, but I can't get too mad because I've been enjoying the heck out of them for 4-6 weeks now. Read more

Yes, the reason is that I don't want to sign up for a facebook account just to enter a contest ;) (yes I'm one of those guys that won't join facebook). Read more

Any chance anyone has a spare one of those '25% off when ordered through the THQ store' coupons they were running through their facebook giveaway promotion? I had planned to order it from amazon but getting the discount plus included 'season pass dlc whatever' you get from the THQ store is probably a better deal… Read more

Hmm. Between Total Annihilation, Guild Wars, then this and the upcoming Guild Wars 2 I think I'll need a separate 'Jeremy Soule' playlist. Read more

I always liked the idea of random or procedurally generated content in games but usually the implementation is lacking. Most time there are just fixed 'chunks' that get stuck together in random ways, and after 8-10 visits to a 'random' dungeon you start to recognize all the different parts. Not saying this is how… Read more

I have some kind of crazy (some may say deluded) idea that EA will finally agree to sublicense the Porsche cars to Turn10 around next summer time (once NFS has run its course) to get a second bite at the apple and make some more $$. And then a big Porsche pack will come out for Forza. Hey, a guy can dream! Read more

Wow. I was really on the fence about buying this dlc, but knowing that we'll be getting those maps and more free for public multiplayer (except for horde) seals the deal (against it). I'm glad it will be free though; that's really the only way to make sure your entire player base is served and not fragmented.… Read more

Sounds amazing. If this is a hint of the quality of the packs that will be coming over the months for season pass owners it's very encouraging. Read more

This has just been an insane month or so with releases (and there is still a few more weeks to go of the insanity). I have to admit I have changed my buying plans mid-stream: originally I was locked in on BF3 and Skyrim but instead I picked up 2 titles I planned to skip - Gears 3 and Forza 4. Between those two (and… Read more

So, not trying to be 'startin somethin', but shouldn't everyone that offers a Gut Check at least play the game? This is the second one in a row where one of the people offering an opinion hasn't played it yet. Read more

Hmmm.... I wasn't planning on buying any gears dlc at first. I thought I'd beat the game, have a little fun in multiplayer, then trade it in and be on my way. Read more

All I could think of was the South Park dance battling. Read more

A miserable pile of secrets? Read more

No, his plan is pretty well trashed by both sides. msnbc ran an article today that quote both democratic and republican spokespeople speaking quite unfavorably about the plan: Read more

I know Beast mode is supposed to be more of a 'race' than anything else, but after playing it through 4-5 times I don't feel much compulsion to go back. It seemed way too easy and just a matter of time until you win. Read more

Yeah man. We are going to wrex some fools. Read more

Still having a stupid amount of fun playing NBA Jam On Fire Edition. Banged out some quick arena games last night to get up to my gold arena medal before the timer reset overnight. My favorite game last night featured the Block Party (me) of Hakeem Olajuwon and David Robinson vs. the Honey Badgers. Read more
