Badly received for some reason, but I loved this game.

If you haven't pre-ordered Madden '11, at Best Buy if you're a reward zone member you get $10 certificate. Also pre-ordering Madden '11 from Best Buy gets you a code to download Madden Arcade. I assume most of you have either already played that, or don't like it enough, but I thought it was a pretty decent deal. I had some RZ certificates I used to drive the price down, got another $10 one, and got Madden Arcade. Also the website has the option for store pickup on a pre-order.. never noticed that before.

If I wasn't already getting my 360 copy from the EA Store for $40, I'd take advantage of this and get Alan Wake for $19.99.

I had to call 800 number to get my reward zone started yesterday after preselling game. I doubt i'll get something retroactive discounted- dont care about madden arcade and wonder if i will enjoy 3 on 3 mode ?

Fight Night Round 4 (360) is $13 on Amazon today.

Steam is having a QuakeCon sale this week. Yesterday I picked up Oblivion GOTY for $9, today is the Doom series... individually most of them are $3.40 but combined they are $13.60. My wallet hates Steam sales.

Definitely a lot of nostalgia in these games... so long as you don't count Doom 3.

I remember reading a game preview for that early last year or so. Never checked it out, has anyone ever played it.

IIRC, people said it was similar to inFamous (PS3) and some other title that came out around the same time, leading to this one being ignored.


EDIT - I wonder if IOU or Violator have played it to give their thoughts.

I hated it. I thought it was a poor man's version if inFAMOUS, but it really wasn't very well done. I thought the story sucked, I wasn't a fan of the art style, and the game was highly repetitive. Still, for $20, if you like 3rd person action games, it might be worth a look. I played it right after inFAMOUS which is probably why I hated it.

I feel safe in saying that if there's a game out there that has trophies, at least one of the two has played it.

Way of the Samurai 3 (PS3) is $20 today on Amazon.

Hmmmm the $49.99 Madden 11 intrigues me especially since I have a $10 coupon from buying NCAA 11 from there.
