  •  Personally (none / 0)

    I'm purchasing no games until GTA IV is released.  I'm going to rent R6V2 when the chance arises, same with Condemened 2.
    I will make a note on the new Mass Effect content, Bringing Down the Sky.  Probably the biggest gameplay issue of Mass Effect were the side missions, all taking place on (usually) similar rocky planets, gathering stupid minerals or dead bodies that only a museum would care for.  Your introduced to an interesting new enemy, and are presented with an actual mission that you'd actually pull your space taxi over to complete.

    Army of Two = Co-op is pretty fun... game is not that amazing.

    Condemned 2's SP is amazing.

    Not getting anything else for a while.

  •  Great diary, Blank. (none / 0)

    Next on my list is GTA4 followed by ST:TFU.   I just watched Eastern Promises last night, and I loved all the scenes with the "Russians" in the Sopranos, so I am finding myself drawn to GTA4 more than I thought I would be.  The MP announcement didn't hurt either.

    Other than that, I plan on getting both the new CoD4  and H3 map packs when they become available in April.

    One last thing, and this isn't just Blankman that does it, I hear it a lot here and in other communities.  To everyone who thinks because they used a "gift certificate" to buy a game, their game is that much cheaper - that logic is only correct for those who DON'T buy games.  For those of us who buy games frequently, those gift certificates are basically cash, and you are just pulling the wool over your own eyes if you think the game you just bought with gift certificates, was that much cheaper.  It wasn't, because now you don't have that discount for the next game that you want.  ;)  (just havin' fun here) :)

      was a dominant movie.  The scene in the sauna is bad-ass.  Viggo is the man.

      I'm feeling California and looking Minnesota.

    •  I hear what your saying, 3Suns... (none / 0)

      but the gift card that I got was from doing five on-line surveys.  The research company offered me compensation & one of the sponsors was Gamestop.  They sent me a $25 gift card for basically no work at all.  That's why I'm considering that I've only spent $30 for Army of Two.  The Gamestop card was basically free money, in a sense.  However, if I had received a gift card as a gift/present, I would have considered that as actual money because you would have to reciprocate on that "gift" by spending your own money.  I'm not sure if my logic makes any sense you to, but it does to me.  Hahaha. ;)

            •  I wound up returning Army of Two. (none / 0)

              Since I purchased it used at Gamestop, they have a seven day return policy on opened/used items.  The game simply doesn't have enough depth to warrant keeping & replaying it multiple times, even with a friend.  There are flashes of good aspects that are good about the game, but too many negative things are too glaring to ignore.  I'm got going to get into detail about the cons about the gameplay since there are so many on-line reviews about the game already out there.  Well, the reviews are spot on.  After the initial wow factors, the gameplay just gets old & you start nitpicking or wiching EA would have done this or that.  I'll parlay the money refunded from Army of Two toward GTA 4.  Like I've said in other posts about the GTA franchise, I've never really bought into the greatness of the past titles despite the fact that they were really good.  GTA 4 has me sold.  I'll definitely be seeing this game from start to finish.

  •  I went to Fry's yesterday.......... (none / 0)

    Looking for RSV2 after work but all copies were gone, I set my mind on that I will buy it only if I get it at Fry's, since were mixed reviews about the game I tought that people will not run to get this time around.
    Also I jump very late on the bandwagon on the first one  and then Halo 3 came out and I just never touched it.
    I will wait for STAR WARS: Force Unleashed or my favorite fighter Soul Calibur, I want Ninja Gaiden as well but I will not buy it until I finished the first one. I get army of two when it goes dirt cheap but in the meantime I just get the new maps for my abandon copy of Halo and my new found hobby COD4

    Sorry, blankman I only have a digital watch!!!!!
