The pc version is $19.99 at amazon. Im waiting on the PS3 version to drop though.

If I wasn't so into Darksiders and Wolverine right now I'd probably be all over this deal.

Nice! I contacted their customer service about my order (bought it on 1/2 @ $24.99) and how it has dropped in price $5 and I haven't yet received the package (should arrive today, actually) - they're giving me a $5 NewEgg gift card. Not bad.

The fact it's a THQ game makes me worry it's going out of print already. Seems a little soon, but I think the same thing happened with Destroy All Humans and I can't even find a decent ebay seller to get it from at this point.

It hardly does, but with a price drop it might get better.
Sometimes I seriously have to wait 10 minutes before finding matches.

What IS good though is the pass and play destruction mode. When I have a couple friends over it's a good time. I actually favor that over the multiplayer. The main game is great.

This is a really good game. If you don't have it, and you are remotely interested in it, then you should go pick it up.

The only thing that annoys me about this game is that I don't seem to get a lot of support from the people that I save or assist during missions. Say I've freed/assisted 30 people and I decide to attack an EDF camp, eventually, I will be attacked by swarms of EDF troops; however, only 4 or 5 members in my faction will assist me. Eventually they are killed in battle...then ultimately, I am killed. I'm playing on "normal" which I rarely do, but I still find myself dying more often than I am acclimated to. Anyone else experience this?

With that said, it's still one of my favorite games of 2009.

is their even an achievement for finishing on hard? i have so many games that i still haven't finished but i've been waiting for this to drop this cheap.

Siege (which is my favorite mode) requires 10 people to start and can take a very long time to fill up on XBL. The modes that require fewer people obviously don't take as much waiting. That said, MP is still a lot of fun. I just started getting into it and the wait times haven't been too bad.

IMO I thought the story was pretty bland, MP was a blast! I just couldnt get into the story really.

There really isn't much of a story at all. I still had fun playing through the campaign though. The feeling of crashing through an EDF base, wreaking havoc on their buildings and just barely escaping alive is a lot of fun.

None that I know of. You get one for beating the game and I think that can be on any difficulty. Good thing too because normal is hard enough. I died a lot.

Yeah, I've died a lot too. I really, really hate dying in games (many times, I would literally click the center Xbox Button on my controller and then exit out to the dashboard). I'm really surprised at how often I died. But as I mentioned before, I think it's directly connected to the lack of support that I receive from my faction.

well that's good. i rather play on normal so i can enjoy it more. i don't mind dying over and over again if there's check points. but for longer games i hate it when i want to play on normal to enjoy it and then go through on hard for the achievements.

They were useful during the defend a base/attack a base missions (the ones where it gave you the number of people fighting on each side). Outside of that, they were only useful as acting like Assassin's Creed's mobs to get away from the EDF. The thing that annoyed me the most about them is that they'd use your car for cover while you were trying to drive away in it. I really hated losing control points because I backed over some idiot when I was trying to get away.

It has an auto-save that gets triggered pretty frequently. I ended up using the auto-save more than my manual ones (which can be done anytime).

Ive had this game for a while now and have barely played it. It has cool scenery and weapons but that start of the game just seems kinda slow.

Yep. I followed your lead.
