I got Turok for $11.50 after shipping... I'll be playing that :) I know I know, everyone else thinks it sucks...

I played the demo and what I didn't like was that the knife was more effective than the firearms. 10-15 shots from a gun won't do it but one stab with the knife will. I would imagine that for under $12 it's good regardless of how crappy it really is if you had paid full or even half price.

Yeah johnny, I'm playing it on hard, and I can't believe how easy the dinosaurs can be with the knife.

Honestly, I didn't care for the demo, but I wanted to give the game a chance. I tend to forgive things that other people consider game-breaking in order to find gems. A lot of my favorites are off-shoot titles. Overblood, Shadowrun (SNES, not XBLA), Solstice, the original Turok..

So far, the first hour is really fun. Once you get inside this complex, it gets stale (actually reminds me of a boring and frustrating version of the ISA ship level from KZ2), but you soon get back out into the jungle where the demo starts. It's fun on hard, to run around and pick guys off with the bow. Honestly, I'm playing to find out if anything remains from the original. I loved that game :( "I.... AM TUROK!"

These are the same reasons I want to get Dark Sector and Eat Lead. I can look past other people's gripes, and sometimes find some great gaming that way.

Dark Sector is really not worth it. I gave it a rental and finished it in a couple days. If you've played the demo, there's really not much more to it than that. But hey, if you still feel like playing the whole thing, be my guest. Just don't complain when you have to fight the awful boss at the end.

@Wired - glad you mentioned that. So many people either love or hate that game. I guess for $15 I might as well give it a shot?

I didn't like Dark Sector at all when it first came out but in hindsight it wasn't all that awful. I've seen that it can be had new for around $15 and thats hard to pass up on at this point. It's kind of like a RE:4 + Gears + Uncharted hybrid. Certainly worth a bargain bin purchase at this point or at the least a rental.

See that's the thing - I remember saying something like "if it's not worth full price, it probably isn't worth getting anyway," but that is so wrong. Some games are good, but full price isn't worth it. Like Turok. I'm glad I spent the ten bucks on it, but I'd be a bit disappointed if I bought it on release day.

Dark Sector is 8 bucks used at Gamestop/EB when they have a copy- and every store I've been to has at least 1 copy. I'll pick it up at some point. I enjoyed the demo enough that I'll pay 8 bucks for some more.

I've been sick as a dog all week and haven't been playing much of anything at all. Hopefully I can work in some MLB 09 The Show, finish Jeanne D'Arc & Command & Conquer Red Alert.

I'll be watching some of the NFL draft on Saturday as well. I'm stoked that my Bears picked up Cutler and I'm hoping we can get some kind of a WR in the second RD to compliment Hester, Olsen, Forte & Bennett. I'm hoping Kenny Britt or Hakeem Nicks falls to us in round 2. In a perfect world we would swap that 2nd round pick and a conditional pick next year for Boldin and make a title run. I don't see it happening but I didn't see us getting Cutler either.

I'm stuck at work till 12:30 tonight and tomorrow night, so i'll be playing just about nothing :( i'm just praying i'll be able to watch the timbers first game v wankover on saturday without the content blocker f'ing it all up...

seriously, this thing is set with absurd settings... i can see joystiq but MY COMPANY's website is blocked. I can view the BBCnews and NYtimes but my local paper? blocked... so stupid.

gotta up and move next week too, so it looks like i'll be packing and subsisting off of puzzlequest DS for the next week :(

Suikoden: Tierkreis for DS. It's...not bad. I still need to finish Retro Game Challenge, Rhythm Heaven, and Henry Hatsworth. I also have some FREAKING AWESOME last gen games that I never played that I got cheap: RE4 ($10), Persona 3 FES ($10), and Metal Gear Solid 2 ($5). Oh, and Mass Effect (Why the hell are Husks more powerful than Commandos?!). On top of that, I have Noby Noby Boy to play with.

Since i made a big push over Easter break to get all my term papers done, i have nothing at all to do for another week (except show up to classes and make sure those term papers get printed) until finals week starts, except for see how fast i can get through the latter chapters of Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance, both in terms of in-game time (i.e. hours played) and in terms of real-life time (days consumed)

Pushing through the biggie, Chapter 26, tomorrow night.

Also: has Justin Glow ever had any sort of input, or has he just been the coding slave for the three consecutive months since joystiq went 2.0?

I think it'll mostly be some combination of Fable II, L4D, and Assassin's Creed for me. Since I've only had my 360 for a bit over a month, I have lots of classics to play through yet.

Rhythm Heaven still. Remix six is a pain for me cause i suck at lock step. Just cant get it down. Recently acquired Burnout Paradise Ult Box for the ps3. I already own the 360 ver. But i got it for free so what the hey. And that's it i guess. MY LIVE ran out but since i haven't anything to play on it anyways... i wont be renewing it anytime soon. I planned on getting Crystal Chronicles: Echoes in Time but i spent my funds on novels ill never get around to reading. Oh and a poster so big i have no room for it... =\

That said, looking for some cheap games under $25 this weekend. Shame that best buy sale has nothing i want...

@David - sorry to hear about your pop pop he'll be in our prayers.

@Richard - How did you like DMC4? Worth a play through?

When not focused on homework I will be focused on crime. Just started GTAIV and am about halfway through GTA:Chinatown. OOOVVEERRLLOOAADDDD!

After getting Trauma Centered on this morning to get my wisdom teeth removed, I've been playing Condemned 2 in between bloody gauze swapping and mashed potato eating. I don't like it as much as the first one, but by the time I figured that out, I was already half way through the game.

The rest of the weekend will be spent on training for the Elite Four in Platinum and maybe starting back on Blue Dragon... maybe.

Madworld, Valkyrie Profile and Little King's Story. I haven't actually played LKS yet, but I have opened the case and smelt the manual. Though slim, the manual is printed in colour which is always a good sign.

What kind of club plays Destiny's Child?

Bought Valkyria Chronicles, after all the hype it's got.

I recommend everyone with a PS3 to buy it also. It's so much better than the demo.

No, I'm not picky like that. ;) I'm always just glad I managed to complete the mission. Will probably do that once I've completed it, though.

Just fought Selvaria for the first time, during the big tank mission. Lost.

Crap, but she's powerful.
