DS: Extraction is a rail shooter. It's ok with the DualShock 3, but I'd imagine it plays better with a Move controller.

I didn't even know you could use the DS3 for that. It was definitely designed 100% with Move as the intended controller.

Finished GTA: Chinatown Wars for the DS this morning. Had to borrow a friend's DS to play it, but I'm glad I did. It had a functional story with terribly cheesy dialog, but it was nice to play an over-the-top, balls out GTA.

It's not that bad IMO, but there are definitely times where the DS3 isn't quick enough to get across the screen in time.

Yeah, DS:E is a very fun and quality rail shooter, especially if you are a Dead Space fan.

I fucking loved that game. Selling drugs was addicting. LOL.

Yeah it was. I hope they bring that forward into the next GTA. It was a fun time killer that was actually useful as a money maker.

Traded in about 8 games including ncaa football 12 and with their deals: Power Trade 25% - Madden NFL 2012, Trade 3 For An Extra $10 and $30 NCAA to Madden Rollover Coupon. It paid for Madden and MW3. :smug:

That doesn't seem like a deal at all.

I don't trade my games in. I figure that I'll end up playing half of them at some point down the road anyway, so I don't want to buy them again. The other reason why is because some places will pay good money to get older games, like N64 ones, and you could make good money on selling them later.

Yeah, I remember when I played through that game a while back and mentioned how fun the drug dealing was and how ironic it was that I was a cop. There were quite a few lulz worthy comments that followed.

Sold COD4, Wolfenstein, and GTA 4:Liberty city stores for $40 on clist
:smug:

Now I just gotta find a buyer for Darksiders/L4D2

Just DL'd the demo for Bodycount (PS3 version) and put in all of 10 seconds into it.

Checked to see what the controls were like the game told me too, threw out mines to see what they looked like and then my game promptly froze.

NOT a good start.

LOL'd while reading a story about the 360 being pulled from Japanese store shelves

Michael Pachter, the well-known analyst, tells a funny story about this one time when Activision boss Bobby Kotick visited Tokyo. "Bobby walked into a games store and he was delighted to see a big pile of Activision games, underneath a huge sign," retells Pachter. "He asked what the sign said. An interpreter politely translated - 'Western Dogshit'."

Funny story, but it's even funnier considering the amount of shitty games coming out of Japan these days. The majority of the best Japanese devs consistently praise Western creativity compared to their Japanese counterparts. It's why you've seen guys like Suda 51 and Kojima collaborating with Western devs.

Games I am playing:

Started Assassins Creed 2.....I want to beat this and brotherhood before the last one drops. I liked the first one but got burnt out on the repetitiveness of its. 2 seems way better so far.

Age Of Empires Online......fun and addicting game

NCAA Football 12......always playing

Dead Nation....trying to beat with KG but fuck it is kind of hard!

Both AC2 and Brotherhood are great games......so much better than the first, which I liked but could only deal with it in small doses. I dropped everything and played those two games when they came out.

Yup. In the 80's and 90's the Japanese could do no wrong in gaming. Now they put out mostly garbage and are trying to find any morsel of insight they can from the West. It's funny how the shoe is on the other foot now.

Right now you can only get this bad boy by winning a contest at PAX. But I would jizz all over my shorts if they made it available for sale on release day along with the game for a reasonable price.

They might have to considering they delayed Star Wars Kinect, and the bundle associated with it.

I started playing Vanquish. The gameplay is pretty fun but everything else is complete ass so I don't see myself finishing. I'm surprised it got such good reviews.
