I had no idea there were sequels to Drive: You are the Wheel Man and now I see that a new driver for next gen is set to drop Aug 30th!! Fucking awesome. I played the demo and it looked good. Only think that is kinda off putting is the whole jumping into other peoples bodys. Shit just sounds retarded. Hopefully its pulled off well.

Finished the Witcher 2 tonite.....great game. There were so many decisions......looks like a game most people will play through multiple times at different save points.

Hoping for Witcher 3 some day!

You can't be serious? That demo is terrible. The voice acting alone makes me want to punch a baby.

And on another note, it's been over a week since my Live account was suspended and still no word.

Eye of the beholder. You are a gaming connoisseur so I expect you to be much more critical. Besides, I was just talking about the graphics. Huge upgrade considering I still pop in the PS1 original since I found it a few weeks back.

I agree with both of you guys to a certain extent about the upcoming Driver game. The whole mind-control shit left me with a WTF expression on my face while the dialog and facial animations seemed out of sync (maybe the latter is just the demo). I probably won't get this one, but I loved the first Driver game.

I actually talked about it on the latest podcast and gave my impressions, which you obviously didnd't listen to BB. ;)

But seriously, yeah, I thought the game looked good and the game play seemed decent. The controls were maybe a little too floaty for my tastes, even for an arcade game. It reminded me so much of the Vin Diesel game The Wheelman, which I actually enjoyed. But the voice acting in Wheelman was leagues above Driver:SF. I just see Driver hitting $20 within a few months. If you have interest in it just hold off a bit and grab it on the cheap. Just based on the lack of interest alone on this site will probably be a good indicator.

Seriously, I'm not really some snobbish gaming "conisseur". I buy tins of mediocre games that are cheap. Just ask Jay. ;)

Been playing Dante's Inferno lately. Playing it on the hellish difficulty and man is it fucking hard.

I was just looking up a video game that I have not played yet on Amazon for the original Xbox. Turns out, if I want a new copy of the game, I would have to pay double the price for a current game.

I'm going to take a look at a place up the road from me, if not, I'll likely buy it used for a whole lot less.

But I think I know what I'm going to do. Buy a few hit games a year- 8 or 10 copies each- and keep them for around a decade and move them for a decent profit (enough for a nice vacation a year.)

Keep in mind that some of Amazon's prices on older games, especially last gen, are ridiculously over priced.
