Wow Oblivion is just as great as I remembered it.

Just got an e-mail from Gamestop with a code for the MotorStorm: Apocalpyse demo.

Yep.

Yeah, and you also have to stand a certain distance away and hit the buttons in an EXACT time frame or it doesn't work. I remember my cousin and I trying fatalitites in MK for hours and only getting them to work about 10% of the time.

Got to agree...if you were bitching about Street Fighter and some of the combos that come with it, I could understand. But MK? It's the most simple fighting game I've ever played.

Wow, I know I'm shocked that you would agree. And I've said many times that I don't like nor do I play fighting games. So it's not something that comes second nature to me. I can't remember the last time I played one? Ultimate MK on XBLA maybe? And trying to play that with the shitty 360 d-pad is a joke.

So spare me the whole "I have to agree" bullshit. There is no other genre of games that requires you to memorize and pull off button combos like in fighting games. So yes, for someone like me that never plays them, pressing four or more buttons in quick succession at an exact distance and exact timing is not an easy thing to do.

I wish I had more time for gaming

Just got an e-mail from Gamestop with a code for the MotorStorm: Apocalpyse beta.

PODCAST MATERIAL.

I got Parasite Eve from the PS Store. I'm glad they finally made this available in the US. I hope PE2 is soon to follow.

PODCAST MATERIAL.

I edited my post. It's a demo, not a beta. So I'm guessing it's just single player. But the code isn't working anyway. I checked other sites and everyone else is having the same problem. It was supposed to go live March 15th but apparently not. I'm not too surprised because this seems to happen all the time with Sony stuff.

Can't wait for the 15 digit codes needed to play my games!

How do you possibly play any video games then? I would think sports gaming would be next to impossible for you.

LOL my Crackdown copy came in today that I bought for $3 off AMazon. It's still brand new sealed and had the fucking halo 3 beta inside the box.

Really? How's that? The last time I played Madden I don't remember having to stand half a player away from the MLB with my RB and pressing left, left, stiff arm, spin move within 1.7 seconds in order to pull off a single juke.

That's awesome, although I still can't believe you haven't played that game.:threaten:

Just curious, how much trade in value do you guys think COD Black Ops and NCAA 11 have?

[Buzzman]

At Amazon,

Black Ops for $32.25
NCAA $15

You can go right to CA and there is a trade-in tab that you can click. You can select what retailer (Gamestop, Amazon, etc.) and the game and it will tell you. IT is user generated though so if someone hasn't updated it recently you're not going to have accurate info.
