    I'm pretty sure I pre-ordered the day they announced the $20 credit back in March or so and of course $1 release day shipping, so I'm good to go.

    I can't believe Gears 3 is only 18 days away. My social life is going to disappear when that drops.

    Can anyone tell me if either Kane & Lynch game is worth $5? Their each on Steam for $5.10 today... I played the K&L2 demo and it wasn't terrible but heard it was extremely short and debatable whether it's worth $5.

    It's not, from what I've played of either of them (which is, admittedly, very little). They are very short, from my understanding as well and both are pretty terrible. There are plenty of games out there that are like them, but better, though playing them on the PC might actually be more enjoyable because part of the issue was playing it on the 360, the controls were pretty shitty.

    Personally, I wouldn't pay $5 for them, but that's just me as I have zero interest in them. If it's something that you're even halfway considering, you probably can't beat 10-15 hours worth of so-so gameplay for $5.

    Why is it that every competitive FPS turns into people spawn killing another team and it seems like 99 times out of 100 it's my dumb ass team getting spawn killed? I don't understand people that FPSs anymore. It used to be about the skill of the kill. Thanks to Call of Duty, it's the quantity, not the quality. I can't even stand to play Team Deathmatch in FPSs anymore because it inevitably comes down to the dude that's found the best camping spots on the map and then switching back and forth between the two or three that are close together. There's no such thing as team work anymore unless it revolves around covering the three different directions the other team can come from their spawn point while racing to see who can first get the best kill streak that totally fuckin' wipes the floor because there's barely any counter to it (or, none at all).

    That's why I love me some Left 4 Dead 2... you COMPLETELY have to be able to rely on your teammates, otherwise you'll be fucked.

    Yeah. That was a series I never really got into playing that much. Just not my kind of game. The promise of people getting the play the zombies and playing against the humans never really panned out how I had hoped it would.

    How so? I think it works quite well from a competitive standpoint. The only major negative I can see is that brand new players get confused very easily... They should have some sort of out of the box trainer.

    In playing the Gears 3 beta, I didn't really see too much of this. Hoping it stays that way when the game launches very soon.

    Yeah, Gears 3 is a competitive man's shooter. It doesn't baby you like all the other shooters have started to do. If you suck at it, well...get better. They added little crutches here and there like the Sawed Off, but it's still heavily sided towards the "hardcore" player.

    As lame as it sounds, I also have high hopes for MW3 after the info they released during last week's expo. It seems they realized that fans want a more refined COD4, and it appears we'll be getting something along those lines. I'm also pretty excited about BF3, but other than those 3, that's about all I'm looking forward to shooter wise this year.

    Yeah that Sawed Off pisses me off. I suck with it, but get owned by it.

    I played it... bought it during last year's Steam Christmas sale. It was pretty good, worth $20 I'd say. It's less about the fighting and more about avoiding zombies, etc. It became annoying a fair number of times but all in all not terrible.

    Yeah a $20 collector's edition is tough to pass up too....here are the extras on that:

    Dead Rising 2 game disc
    Exclusive two-disc steelbook case
    High-Def disc with 83 Minute "Zombrex Dead Rising Sun" motion picture and 24 minute "Making of" featurette
    Zombrex "Syringe" pen
    Zombrex "Prescription" notepad (25 pages)
    Zombrex "Safety" card
    Zombrex "Prospectus" sales brochure (16 pages)
    Dead Rising 2 hardback artbook (48 pages)

    LOL all of that would find its way to the trashcan in my house. Minus the game disc of course.

    If it is comfortable in the hands I'll consider it. The PSP wasn't for me.
