Re: Brink on X-Box 360 & Ps3 only $4.99 at Best Buy

Interesting. Is the game any good though?

Yeah. Amazon did a good job this year of matching some of the doorbuster prices on new games that many of the big stores were offering. They had most of the major releases from the past month on lightning deals for about $28.

Re: What video game are you currently playing?

Went a little crazy on holiday deals. Gears 3 showed up today in the mail. Arkham City and AC:Brotherhood (year behind, I know) are now on their way. That will probably keep me busy until Mass Effect 3 hits next year. Managed to get Arkham City for $28 on a lightning deal tonight, after getting wait...

Re: Metal Gear Solid - HD Collection

This comes out on Tuesday anyone plan on picking it up? -Brian I'll wait for the price to drop significantly, if ever. I'm not even sure what the third title is, but I seem to recall there's not actually a physical disc for it in this set...just a download code for Peace Walker. I also read the lac...

Fully engrossed in Mass Effect 2 right now. I finally got around to picking it up during the holidays when Amazon had it for 9.99 on a lightning deal. The game is so cool, even if I kind of miss driving around in the Mako on planets. Wow, great deal on that. I was really happy to pick it up that ch...

I was going to wait and pick it up a month after the release, but I broke down over the weekend just because I'm such a Halo nerd. Tore through the campaign on Heroic over about three nights. I'll probably go back and do Legendary later on. I don't have Gold right now, so I have not dipped into the ...

I found a tub of our old turtle toys in some stuff my parents brought up recently. I haven't really dealt with them yet, since I've been focusing more on sorting the LEGO stuff and getting sets put back together. I somehow ended up with the scout vehicle MISB still.

Haven't seen the comic yet, but agree totally with the Halo mythos sucking you in.

Have you read any of the novels yet? They're all pretty good for game-based books.

Unity 0 is a consideration as well, since it is such an iconic cover. I think the red version looks the best, if you have an extra to display that is. Red is one of the only early promo books I never picked up. They were still floating at $65+ when I was in my completionist phase and the wife would...

If I did only one Magnus, it would have to be 12. But that's mainly because it was such a grail book when I was a young collector and has sentimental value. :P

Top games for the NDS

We have a DS that just hasn't been getting much use lately. I'd like to change that, but would like some input from others.

What do you see as the top games for the system that are must haves? We already have Phantom Hourglass and New Super Mario Bros.
