Hey Cheapy & Wombat, Big fan of the show! I was hoping you could help out a fellow cheap gamer - Here's a little name game for you... Gears of War 2 Fallout 3 Resistance 2 Fable 2 LittleBigPlanet Choose two to buy. Tough choice, I know. But I'd love to get your opinions. Keep up the good work...

All-CG movie maybe?

I think if GoW: The Movie of the Game ends up being a 300-esque gorefest, Vin Diesel could slot in pretty well a'la Riddick. I do worry a little about his acting chops, but somehow I doubt GoW:TMotG is going to be a tour de force of drama and emotion.

I'm on board. Especially being a Celtics fan.

Let's put aside the Brett Ratner discussion for now. Who's your best (or worst) pick for Kratos in the 'greenlit' God of War movie? I think Clive Owen could do it. Although, Stallone would be hilarious. "Ay, yo Athena! It's me, Kratos!"

Yeah I'm a big fan of the deals that can be had as a gamefly member (Mass Effect for 20$ - 7$ cheaper than anywhere else I could find it at the time). Generally, I fill in my "backlog" with older games I never got to play - hence Psychonauts. Assassin's Creed is on there. Lego games...

I've got Burnout Paradise out, and I've had it about 6 weeks (Owning BadCompany, RockBand and Mass Effect has taken time away). Love Burnout, really fun game, I'm gonna try to pick up a couple more achievements, then send it back. Here's what I've got coming up: Lego Indy: Friends are...

The word from Activision CEO is that Activision is going to try to sell Sierra, according to NextGen. I suspect they are going to poach a few titles/franchises before they do. But, most of these articles about the publishing is directly related to games that came into the house on the...

To editorialize that a little: I have no clue why they wouldn't want to publish Ghostbusters, or Brutal Legend even. Those games have crazy hype behind them, and the Ghostbusters game is getting good press. What the fuck kind of hype is there surrounding Spyro? Really? The gay dragon franchise...

Calm down. Let's not freak out on a Kotaku rumor. Rumor. The idea is that Vivendi is cherry picking which Sierra games it wants to publish. When they've made their selections, they'll most likely giving publishing rights to someone else...

My wife watches a lot of cooking/food shows, and antiques roadshow, and she likes to shop and use my iPod Touch to surf the web, so she has her things to do. Thankfully, she's not just sitting there angrily watching me play. But that's a good point about boardgames. We're both huge fans of...

I think that's a pretty good description of my situation. My wife doesn't mind that I play games (unless I'm playing "too much"), but she will watch a good cutscene, or if the graphics are really good. She played the Viva Pinata Demo with me, and she thought that was kind of cool. I still...

I'm sure there are plenty of CAGs that have girlfriends or wives (or boyfriends/husbands) that aren't (or weren't at one time) gamers. My wife hasn't played any significant amount of games since her older brothers shared their Nintendo Entertainment System when she was little. I've been a...

I might be willing to be that you're rarely impressed with superhero movies in general. If you didn't like the first, then yeah, you're probably not going to like the second. What I like about the two is that they're clearly grounded in fantasy, they integrate CG effects with live action...

Special ordered from China, you can't get onestars in stores anymore. But I might be wrong now, because I think Converse sold a bunch of manufacturing rights?
