I'm about 33 hours into this and loving it so far.
Probably going to pre-order The Last Story soon, even though I hear it's not as good.
Hopefully we can get Pandora's Tower over here too.
Pre-ordered this months ago. Had to order a classic controller pro today so I'll be able to play it.
Still on the fence about Last Story. I've read that there's some serious lag/slowdown in the game and it's not as good as Xenoblade.
Check out Amazon Warehouse deals for Used - Like New PS3s. Often you can get a brand new PS3 that has a box that got banged up for less than $200. You might have to look for a few days for one to pop up.
There are plenty of great games available, just search "top 25 ps3 games" and you'll get...
Sarcasm?
There's been a few threads here about it, including this 13 page one and this one which has an article that sums up the game perfectly (see following quote).
Its spiritual successor, Dark Souls, also has a large thread on this forum.
And I've seen it extensively discussed whenever...
GameStop has used/refurbished old style Xbox 360 drives (which should still be recognized by the system as an official drive) for under $50 and as pointed out above you can get an enclosure for cheap that will allow you to use it on the newer models.
Failed the no damage level in challenge of the titans in God of War II for about 8 hours total across two days. Went online and found a strategy. Beat it on the first try in under a minute with the highest possible rank. So annoying.
I just finished GOW II Friday night and I didn't like it as much as the first one either. I played them both back to back this week. Got the platinum trophy for the first game and I'm one more challenge away from the platinum on the second game. I used a guide to find all the chests so I think...
This is a wonderful game and it's enjoyable once you learn how to play it.
Lots of people will over-hype the difficulty, but that's just because they're too used to walking directly into attacks and letting their screen turn red until they die and respawn at a checkpoint that's barely a...
I play online on PS3 (I also have it on 360, but don't have XBL), but just wanted to give a word of warning, don't get excited about getting Crawmerax to drop pearls. It's still ridiculously rare for him to drop them.
I've beat him at least 150 times solo, 50+ times with my friend, and probably...
In my experience, this is what happened:
Younger
1. Save up money from cutting grass all summer, birthday cards, and Christmas cards.
2. Buy console and one game.
3. Play that one game until you can afford another game.
4. Months later, after I've beaten the first game multiple times...
If you buy at K-Mart before Sunday with the rewards card (free and they set it up in store in a couple minutes) you can get free game that is $19.99 or less plus a 20$ off coupon for any video game related purchase that's good for 45 days.
Yes, just make sure you play it on hard since the game is too easy otherwise. Even on the highest difficulty, the only area where I had to try a few times to get through was the final boss.
All players can get the mission completions if you are are both on that mission. My friend and I play online on PS3 and if we're doing the same missions then we both get completions. The only problem is if one of us plays solo and gets a few missions ahead, then it starts showing ineligible for...
You could always do what my girlfriend and I do, play a single-player RPG as a team... I play and she tells me what she thinks I should pick during all the dialog options :p.
I wish there was a way to help her learn how to use a controller quickly and without much frustration because the...
I believe so:

The disc based release has been delayed but you can import a copy from the UK or download them on PSN now.
I love the original Xbox, I have three or four of them, probably a dozen controllers and 80+ games. Off the top of my head:
Advent Rising
Beyond Good & Evil*
Black
Breakdown
Chronicles of Riddick: Escape From Butcher Bay*
Cold Fear
Fable: The Lost Chapters
Fatal Frame
Fatal Frame...
I never said there weren't long games in the past, I was saying these "games used to be so much longer" generalizations are ridiculous.
Graphics and production values have changed dramatically, but there have always been overpriced games that are entirely too short considering the price of...
Maybe you're too young to remember when a lot of Sega Genesis games could be beat in under 3 hours but they still cost $69.99 when they first came out.
To put in perspective and take into account inflation, that would be like paying $100 for an Xbox Live Arcade game.
It's always the same...
I have 100% of the trophies for Fallout 3 GOTY on PlayStation 3 and I almost have 100% of the New Vegas Trophies. Granted, I also beat Fallout 3 before the trophy patch on PS3 so I beat the game on there about 4 times (easily 200+ hours).
I liked Fallout 3 so much that I bought the GOTY version...
That's not how pricing for sealed collectible games vs used complete games works.
The original Mass Effect collector's edition goes for about $80 used on eBay.
Go ahead and look for yourself to find out how much they want for a sealed copy.
I don't ever trade my games in. Off the top of my head, I probably have about six or seven hundred games (physical media, I hate digital distribution) on about 15 different consoles/handhelds.
The Nintendo DS is "blown wide open by pirates" via the use of flash carts and they keep cranking out games for that day by day.
Piracy probably isn't killing 3rd party Wii sales as much as Family Game Night 42 and Mr. Potato Head Adventure 37 is.
Yes piracy is a problem, but until a...
I've never been much for playing games on PC because I've always bought all the consoles and handhelds each generation so that has kept me more than busy enough. Well, long story short, I moved into a new apartment, my computer is now in the living room, and instead of playing PSP/DS when my...
