Oh, I hear you Med. But I'm telling you, there wasn't anything on my dash about it at 5pm yesterday. I made sure to thoroughly check both of those tabs and...nothing. The only "deal" was under the weekly deal and that is Rock of Ages.

I dunno Mackey...did you perhaps make it personal with one of the m$ wives?

Man, Trine 2 is gorgeous, and pretty damn awesome.

Man, Trine 2 is gorgeous, and pretty damn awesome.

I still need to play Trine 1. Is Trine 2 on 360 as well as PS3? I know the first one was PS3/PC only.

I would also like to add that Super Mario 3D Land is fucking awesome. That game alone is worth owning a 3DS for.

Trine 2 is on all 3 major platforms. I have the first on PS3 and PC (got it for 2 bucks on Steam -- the PC one is much better). I only have Trine 2 on 360 because it won't work on my rapidly aging PC.

Highly recommended, but only if you like puzzles. The combat in both games is very simple. The majority of the game consists of working out physics puzzles and effectively using the wizard and grappling with the thief. It's extremely satisfying though, and has a great way of making you feel like the solution you came up with for any certain puzzle is yours alone, if that makes sense.

Yeah, I played the first one for like an hour so I know what the concept is. It seemed like a great game but I never gave it the time it deserved. I'll get to it eventually.

re-upped with gamefly and got 2 months for $1

just Got Green Lantern for 360, heard it was a God of War clone, kinda fun for a movie-tie-in, but very easy even on Max difficulty..

Uncharted should be coming in soon, Need to find/buy/borrow a Dualshock 3 soon..

Which one is the Prince of Persia reboot? Is that the cell shaded one or the one that kind of looks like the movie?

I really liked the cell-shaded one despite the fact that it was basically one big quicktime event.

I have had Darksiders for over a year and still haven't played, despite REALLY wanting to.

Have you played all of the games you got at one point Buzzman?

 

[Buzzman]

Its the cell-shaded one. I've always wanted to pick ti up but for some reason didn't Sitting at $7 I couldnn't resist. Ironically the game I am most excited to play is Assassins Creed 2. I have no clue how I haven't played it yet; especially since I actually loved the first despite its many flaws.

What do you mean by "Have you played all of the games you got at one point Buzzman?"

That sentence did not sound right when I wrote it either. I simply meant, had you played any of the games that you purchased prior to purchasing them (other than Gears 2, obvious).

Assassins Creed 2 is fucking awesome in general, but particularly compared to the first.

I have been trying to play Frozen Synapse but I am unbelievably awful at it.

Then nah, I didn't play any of them except Gears 2. Whats funny is I am all excited to play these old ass games I just bought yet I have Saints Row 3, Battlefield 3, and Shadow of the Damned I just recently bought and feel a bit undetermined to play them. I have this annoying habit of only enjoying a game once I get 3-4 hours into the game. Until I get past that introduction, the game is usually a chore to play.

Just beat Uncharted 3 for the second time on Crushing. I can't fathom how good this game was at times.. :fap:

 

[JayDizzle]

I got into the Holiday Spirit like Buzzman and plunked down some change on used games.

Motorstorm
Mercenaries 2: World in Flames
Just Cause 2

All for less than $25 due to the 'Buy 2, Get 1 Free' deal they had going on.

I nearly forgotten about Load Times after today but at least with Motorstorm, it's worth it seeing how fucking great it looks/plays.

I've been thinking about picking Just Cause 2 up again. That game was so fun.

What's your favourite song from a video game?

Same here, just finished Uncharted '2' and look in my list of games, There are a few old ones in there. I'm actually surprised I finished 2 games in 2 weeks. I haven't finished a game in years.

Crushing? You are a better man than me sir.

JC2 is such a great game and I have absolutely no legitimate reason why I stopped playing it. I need to get back into that shit. I loved how on the PS3 version you can just upload video clips to YOUTube.
