I would say it's more a mix of Bioshock and Dead Space with the creature designs and personally I'm sick of the 'alien/zombie/mutated human' shooters.

I played it for about an hour or two the other night and while I do like some of the game I'll just finish it for the sake of finishing it but then it's going to a local shop for whatever they'll gimme for it.

To the CAGs who may have visited the Regency Sears in Richmond, VA: Do you all know where the clearance section might be?

I went over to the local Sears but I couldn't find any area in or near video games that might be for clearance.

My haul:

PSP:
Patapon 2 - .97

Wii:
Muramasa X2 - 4.97 each

PS3:
Green Day Rock Band - 2.97

Xbox 360:
Singularity - 7.98

Not too shabby.

Dang. I was THISCLOSE to going to Sears after work today to check clearance stuff but I decided not to go.
I guess I''ll swing by tomorrow and see if I can find anything good!

Did Muramasa have a UPC sticker covering the original UPC code? I saw it tonight with a value UPC sticker and prepriced at $14.99 and figured it wasn't on clearance.

That's a bold statement to put on a website called Cheap Ass Gamer

Oh don't get me wrong. If the silver Dual Shock 3's dropped to some insane amount like $10-15 each I'd buy up a shitload of spares to keep sealed in case I needed them.

But paying MSRP($54.99) for a replacement DS3 is NOT happening for me this gen unless it's absolutely necessary and people buying different colored ones just because, that's just insane to me. But if ya have the money to spare n wanna splurge, go right ahead.

Even then, I have a couple of those Rocketfish ones from Best Buy left over from when they clearanced them out to $10 each, so I'd probably use those if it came down to it BEFORE spending that much on an 'official' replacement.

The peripherals last gen and this gen have been way overpriced, if you ask me.

I love how my Sears has 60 gig 360 Hard Drives priced at 55 dollars when the thread states that

102909 ... 09.47 ... 49.97 ... Xbox 360 HDD 120gb < OMFG!

In 2009 the 120 GIG's dropped to 10 dollars. I would so buy a 10 dollar Hard Drive.

Good luck finding a $10 360 hdd. I got lucky enough to snag a $15 one from Kmart around the same time.

Looking at the boxes now, no sticker over the UPC's.

Eh, difference of opinion I guess. It got a metacritic average of 76. In my experience a lot of games in the 70-80 range are liked well by some, and disliked by others, hence the OK score.

I guess it is good for anyone buying it to see both sides of the picture here with this game.

Just chiming in on Singularity. It was one of those FPS's that made me nauseous. I'm not saying anything negative about the game substantively. I'm just offering a word of caution for people who have this problem from time to time. (like I do)

What makes me laugh is that I picked it up from a friend locally who picked it up from the Blockbuster BOGO rather than from Sears due to the disparity between prices on the different versions there now.

I believe the is like $8, while the version is $25 or so. At one point in time, both versions would've been on the same drop schedule.

As for the 'professional' review scores on games, I tend not to even pay attention to those most of the time, as I prefer to make my mind up on my own whether or not I like the game.

I've found myself really liking games that people reviled and hating games that people think is the greatest thing ever. What's funniest though is that I bitch n moan about companies doing the same tired storylines and types of games, yet all I play is GTA and tons of it. So yeah, maybe I shouldn't talk, huh?

Funny, some games give me motion sickness but this was not one of them.

I've played it for an hour or so and so far I'm really liking it.

regular

:< I went to Sears and it was a poor experience.

The Persona 3 w/ Artbook from a while ago was shockingly on sale for 2dollars less. But games that were on pseudo clearance before were marked back up!

They had a Zelda Phantom Hourglass for 14.98 before. Same old thing was marked back up to 34.99! The old sticker was even underneath it. It was like that with a bunch of things, mainly the Professor Layton games and FF III.

I did find a decent sweatshirt on sale for 9.99 marked from 60.
