[quote name='corrosivefrost']Look at Undertow. That was undeniably FREE. And it just takes up space on my HDD because I don't like it. If you don't really like the game or plan to play it... *shrug*

Besides, you'd be encouraging the developers. Bad Nelo. Bad! ;)[/QUOTE]

i cant resist free! or getting a rebate on points i either didnt pay for or paid .20 cents for :lol:

Wow, light year for me. Though I have a feeling I'm once again going to realize how much more gaming I do than most people here...
 
[quote name='Flak']Has anyone ever tried the God of War mobile game? IGN leads me to believe it's worth purchasing, but it is $8.[/QUOTE]Don't do it. I had it on my Razr a while back and its very, very boring.
 
Muramasa looks like something I'd enjoy. BUT...it needs a steady framerate, unlike Odin Sphere.

I'm kinda in a bit of pain right now, stubbed my big toe pretty hard when I fell down earlier today. Swelled up pretty good (like twice the size now) with a bruise.

And yet I still trudge through Bionic Commando, slowly but surely. I really hate this game.
 
I have the collectors edition of Batman :)ps3:) Preordered. I'm even reading through a couple of Batman classic stories in preparation: The Killing Joke, The Long Halloween, The Dark Knight Returns, year one, and it's namesake: Akrham Asylum

I am still undecided whether I should preorder Marvel: ultimate Alliance 2, since it supposedly has exclusive characters for each system. That, and it would nice to get the GS Juggernaut preorder bonus.

I'm not sure which system I should get Dragon Age for (will probably end up PC). Demon's Soul I haven't preordered yet, but I keep on having to resist the urge to.

I thought DI wasn't until early 2010?
 
Oohh man, my wallet is going to be taking a beating. Granted I'm getting things like Tekken Wireless Stick Bundle and MW2: Prestige at significant discount thanks to all the deals and credits gleaned from this site, but still...ouch!

CAG is the ultimate blessing and curse. :/
 
Modern Warfare 2
Assassin's Creed 2 (Not Day 1, it'll be like $30 within a month of its' release)
Uncharted 2
Ratchet & Clank: A Crack in Time
The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks
Scribblenauts
New Super Mario Bros. Wii
Muramasa (Framerate dependent)
Halo 3: ODST
Professor Layton & the Diabolical Box (Not a day 1 purchase)
Metroid Prime Trilogy (Already paid for)
Left 4 Dead 2 (Not a day 1 purchase)
Brutal Legend

Beetles Rock Band will probably be a 2010 pickup for me.
 
The games I'm probably picking up are Batman, Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2, Alpha Protocol and Persona. That list used to be a lot larger but I decided that I really don't need all those games. I'm tired of buying a pile of games only to have half of them sit in my backlog.

At least you have some sensibility. L4D's price dropped like a rock within a month or two of release. Why pay full price for L4D1.5? ;)

NSMB Wii is this year? That's probably getting added to my list.

I'll borrow Uncharted 2 and R&C from my PS3 loving buddy... I can't see paying anything near full price for them...
 
[quote name='ihadFG']Hey guys, which game should I start next: Skies of Arcadia Legends or Lost Odyssey? And how long are they?[/QUOTE]

LO is 30+.

Depends, of course, on how many optional quests you attempt.
 
[quote name='ihadFG']Hey guys, which game should I start next: Skies of Arcadia Legends or Lost Odyssey? And how long are they?[/QUOTE]
Skies of Arcadia. Amazing game.
 
Remaining 2009 Wishlist: In order of high to low want.

(PS3) Uncharted 2: Among Thieves
(PS3) Modern Warfare 2
(PS3) Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising - Reminds me of Ghost Recon and Battlefield: Bad Company, good mix.
(PS3) Dirt 2 - Still need a dedicated racing title; the Grid demo froze 50% of the time so I hope the engine is better optimized.
 
[quote name='corrosivefrost']LO is 30+.

I played LO for 80 hours, there's not way that 50 hours of that was sidequests.
 
[quote name='Trakan']I played LO for 80 hours, there's not way that 50 hours of that was sidequests.[/QUOTE]

I think I played about 50, give or take, and a bunch of that was grinding... I think I probably could've finished in about ~40, but I did a lot of screwing around, trying to find all the seeds and shit too.
30 was just a low ball. I'd rather tell someone a game will take them "at least 30 hours" instead of telling them "it'll take at least 50" and have them get through it in 40.

Grinding?
 
[quote name='mykevermin']What kinda grift have y'all set up to get all those points?[/QUOTE]

anyone know of cheap-o sources of XBL points?

Ain't no way LO is 80 hours.

Just got invited to the MAG beta. Had to look at Homeboy Jason Vorhees in the email again. I hope the character customization will let me make a dude what looks like Alex P Keaton.
 
[quote name='FriskyTanuki']MAG beta invites seem to be going out, so I'm wondering if myke got in. :lol:[/QUOTE]

my essay got me in, I'm sure of it.
 
PSN is going down tommorrow at 9am PST for maintenance, the same time Sony's GamesCom press conference starts...interesting..


My guess is it has to do with that PS Thanks program that was trademarked, hopefully more though.
 
What's the history behind this convention? I haven't paid any attention and it seems like a strange venue if Sony does indeed drop some big bombshells tomorrow.

I'd guess it's nothing we'll ever notice on the user end.

Depending on how you feel about using "unauthorized" internet coupons, you can get free Axe products from Target which have 300 points attached to each package.

That also depends on how you feel about purchasing Axe products in public.
