The Arcade Random Thoughts Thread

i was about to post that. 19 fucking games in 5 years. they made a fortune while the RB series did it right for the consumer, but lost out on the $$ for a dead genre thats now flooded

In the end I think RB ended up making the most money though.

You gotta wonder just how much money they made off that DLC.

I wonder what will happen if there is a lockout in the NFL next season? Will there still be a Madden? I would imagine so. But what would sales be like?

Oh, you bet your sweet ass there'll be a Madden game. It'd actually probably sell better than normal as people flock to it to replace the actual season.

The NHL series still came out when there was a lockout.

Console or PC?

Console...if you feel like kicking my ass at it in the not too distant future (after I play it some and get a little used to it) drop me a line.

I did a My Player thing and holy cow am I bad.

The game has a wall-like curve. Once you get over that wall though, you'll be fine. Mastering the controls(aka achieving iso-motion) is tougher.

There's a reason why there is only one LAX game.

I meant at a time. And wow, three whole LAX games in the last...forever. What a popular and awesome sport.

You're just jealous because you're not coordinated enough to play

Yeah, the coordination it takes to beat someone with a stick is completely beyond me. Oh wait, that didn't sound right.

Finally beat Dawn of War 2 - Chaos Rising. I enjoy RTS, but I'm not the best at base building. The squad level tactics of DW2 was perfect for me. Nothing quite as awesome as sending a squad of chain sword wielding, power armor wearing bad asses jetpacking in to the middle of a battlefield while my giant mech with a gattling gun runs back up. Now I have to figure out which of the glut of Steam games I play next...

Thoughts?

Options are -

Battlefield BC2
Borderlands (finish it)
Braid
FEAR + FEAR2
Ghostbusters
Lara Croft and Guardian of Light
Psychonauts
Red Faction Guerrilla
Super Meat Boy
Theif: Deadly Shadows
The Witcher

Plus I have a bunch of open world games like Civ, Sim City and Tropico to put more time in.

AND STEAM IS OFFERING MORE SALES TODAY! WHY CAN'T I SAY NO?!

I'm rolling with all the FEARS starting in March I think, although I want to build a new comp first.
