About to try Lost Planet 2 and Alan Wake today. I'll make sure and give the best analysis I can for everyone who has to wait for the retail release :P. Getting games way ahead of time is pretty sweet.

How come you're getting games so early?

Dr. boogie,

How do I check if there is an Arcade convention going on in my part of the woods?

I have great connections :P

Alan Wake is a pretty great title. The facial animations are a bit lacking though. So far the story is very interesting, and the gameplay is wonderful. I really like this one.

Beat Gears of War 2 tonight with a friend on couch co-op. I started off hating the game and by the end, I really did enjoy it overall. It's bizarre and crude, but fantastic at the same time.

Gonna try Lost Planet 2 tomorrow or the next day :P

I really want to try out Alan Wake. My one friend has been pumping it up for a long time.

darkvare · #**3933**

any one has a recomendation for a psn game? i got 16 dolars to spare

DougClayton4231 · #**3934**

I've heard that Vagrant Story is really good. You should try to play Alan Wake asap. I think it's fantastic and apparently they will be supporting it with DLC at a later date. I've heard it's a little short though.

darkvare · #**3935**

but is not out yet

and i love remedy so i will probably buy it
how does vagrant story plays is not like final fantasy is it?

Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory.

It's fun, but it took me a while to get used to the lack of a "sneak" key. I guess you have to go diagonally if you want to run, which is sorta awkward, but whatever

Man I want SFIV Super so bad

But I can't buy it because it's just like SFIV with added extras.

God damn it why couldn't it be DLC

Super Street Fighter 4, and it's AWESOME.

Alan Wake is about 8 hours, according to the reviews, so it should clock in at about 6-7. Not enough lenght for me to spend more than 20, maybe 30 bucks on it...and again, it is another victim of the fucking blight known as DLC. Finish the fucking game and then move on to the next for the love of Shub Niggurath. I hate this shit.

I CAN however live with the DLC for Mass Effect 2 because the game was finished before they released bonus-content. The new SMG is really awesome and I continued my Insanity-Playthrough with my Infiltrator. Suprisingly easy I must say but I blame it on the class.
Total Aggro-wipe-invisibility for 6 Seconds is a real lifesaver. Strongest regular Weapon in the game with 175% damage slow-motion-even-more-damage-headshots every 10 seconds? Why did I play that stupid Vanguard again? Can´t remember, all he can do is his super-suicide-charge...

And here I was maybe thinking you were different than every other gamer out there. Congratulations, you've not disappointed me.

I love Dudley, such a better boxing character than Balrog. I actually used to finish off my friends with his Rose taunt in SF:III 3rd Strike. They used to get so pissed.

i got the original SFIV on collectors edition and as soon as i heard about the super edition i sold the game alone and got enough to buy the new one, i still kept everything that came with the collectors edition

I´m not sure I get what you mean

To me it is important to stay entertained while spending a reasonable ammount of money for that entertainment. 8 really entertaining hours are nice and all but that´s one evening of my time and the next day I´m bored again because the game was...well...short and I´m done with it. No matter how much fun I had during those 8 hours, they´re still just 8 hours and over VERY quickly.

I guess I should get a really time-intensive job or something like that, maybe then I´d like these short games more...who knows.

I dunno. It's just that if the amount of time you spend with a game is the only way to account for worth... well, that's pretty fucking sad. Moreover, that you have some sort of formula, even if it's just something arbitrary, to figure out how much you should spend on a game, well that's doubly sad. You can't judge a game based on length, period. I've played games for two hours and have been very happy with the money I've spent on them. I've also played TF2 for 130 hours and Pokemon Silver for 420 or so, back when I had it.

Some games are just more conducive to replays.
