Whole bunch of Wii and DS shovelware at mine.

Let's go Kroger-ing.

Ill wait for a "Manager's Special" for some games

man, seeing Kroger and Giant Eagle in this thread makes me feel like I'm at work! I work for an organic food distributor in the finance department and we deal with a lot of payments from those stores.

Anyhow, no Kroger near me to check unfortunately.

No joke? I love Front Mission, but this one isn't an RPG, looks more like Mechwarrior.

I'm gonna be pissed if it sucks too bad to be worth $7, but my local guy normally gives $5 for any PS3 game.

I used to work with a guy who always called it K. Rogers, anyone else ever heard Kroger called that?

Where I live it is called King Soopers. We call it Kings for short.

Now all the food stamp gamers can get a deal. Can you imagine that decision. Swiss cheese or Street Fighter?

It plays like a mediocre third person shooter, but the whole mech aspect of it actually makes it worse. Half of the missions you're forced to have a specific load out, not because it's part of the story or gives you an advantage in a level, but because you simply have to. That and the game seems intent on making you move as slow as possible since you can hover, but it moves so slow or you can have legs, but the armor always blow out on them in the boss battles and it becomes a slow moving battle of slowly dodging and finding health. Speaking of boss battles, Jesus the last half of them have the most infuriating fights that will just leave your armor constantly destroyed and make you reduced to cheap unfun tactics to get it over with. Also story, drama, characters? Throw all those out the window. Hated Front Mission: Evolved.

Also got it from Amazon way back when for $5 used and the only good thing I can say about it is I got $9 or so credit when I traded it into Best Buy last year.

Our Kroger stores have thunder (and lightning?) just before the sprinklers go off. If you research the company, you'll find that they have stores in nearly every state, but under different names.

former regional associated chain in the Flint MI area, (he sold all the locations back to Kroger sometimd arojnd 2000), he would chuck products off-camera from the fridge/freezer case in the ads. Of course the only 2 I can find on YouTube are very subdued. Mybrother and I walked in on them filming one at 2am once and got kicked out for cheering him on..

Around here in East TN, a large majority of the food stamp families already have all the games for their little brats, and drive fancy SUVs. Guess its easy to afford the nice stuff when the government is paying for your 6 kids from 5 baby daddies. But that's another rant in itself.

I've been occasionally stopping by my local Fry's Marketplace (a Kroger chain in AZ), and I've picked up the following over the past few months (all on clearance / Manager's Special):

Super Mario Galaxy 2 $24.99

New Super Mario Bros Wii $24.99

Skylanders Starter Kit $29.99

2000 Points Card $9.99

I"ve been eyeing some Nyko Perfect shots for $3.75 at one of them, but no one seems to be buying them, could drop even lower. I've also seen Pokemon Black / White for $17.99 (or somewhere around there).

The point is, if your local Kroger chain store has any good games in their cases, chances are they will clearance them out eventually, just need to be patient and check in every week or so.
