Reviews for the The End is Nigh weren't exactly glowing (a la blue dongs), but perhaps having the two Nigh episodes together on one disc will reveal the undiscovered brilliance of the simplistic beat-em-up.

You know I'm as big a gamer as the next guy, but I never could get into Gamefly. Call me a fool, but I like owning a physical copy of my games. I put them on my shelf so all can view my glorious collection!
Might be worth it to get a subscription just so I can play games I don't care to own however.

oh so do I. But without the money to BUY all those games I come out better renting. Not to mention a LOT of my games I have gotten from Gamefly thru "Keep It" and saved like $20 or more getting the original case and manual. Hell when I'm running low on Money I pull this little number. Have a few openings for games are going to be sent and have them send out a BRAND NEW Just released game. Wait a Few days and use the "Keep It" feature, and I get a BRAND NEW GAME for damn near $15-20 less than the In store price because they consider it a "used game" but Since they sent me the game on RELEASE day, I'm the first person to play it so it ACTUALLY brand new.....lol

My problem with Gamefly is just that when I have a game out, I feel compelled to play it because I know the clock is ticking and I'm losing money. So I end up playing that game more than one I'd probably rather be playing. Also I never seemed to get new releases very quickly.

Neuro as long as you have an open space in your mail outs you SHOULD have no problem getting a new release....

Exactly, you have to mail games back early and sit and wait, thus loosing money. You can't even get a 3 month old game without waiting for a week anymore. All their money went to advertising for a customer base that they cannot support. They have been terrible for a while now. I have used them since 03, and I am about to cancel.
Buy a game they day it comes out rather than wait for a shipment, keep it because you like it, or flip it quick on ebay, with a high shipping fee. Works every time, and you get the games you want right when they release.

And what's the release date for the 2nd downloadable episode?

I thought it was OK, don't know why so many people were up in arms over it. Also, for an XBLA game the graphics were excellent.

I might give half a crap if it had online multiplayer. That way I could play with one of the 3 other people with any interest in it.

Why put it on a disk if it did so horrible as a download?

It probably sold OK even though it got bad reviews. Trust me if they thought they were going to lose money on it they wouldn't be doing it.

Two episodes? I thought this was a first of its kind, long-form downloadable episodic game?

I think Telltale has practically monopolized the successful episodic market.

I think there were originally supposed to be 3 episodes but who knows now.

Got a code for this to download for $10. I didn't think the game was bad at all. A friend and I had a real fun time with it playing coop. The game probably isn't worth twenty bucks but it wasn't as bad as some people would lead you to believe

"While the Xbox 360 is getting Watchmen: The End is Nigh Parts 1 and 2 as a standalone retail release, the PlayStation 3 is getting a much more enticing release. The two-disc set combines the director's cut of the Watchmen film with both parts of the downloadable game, with exclusive artwork thrown in for good measure. The director's cut of the movie contains 25 minutes of footage not seen in theaters, but still no giant squid.
The releases will coincide with standard DVD release on July 21st, with The End is Nigh Part 2 also available as a standalone download on Xbox Live Arcade and the PlayStation Network." - for some odd reason this version of the news release seemed alot better.
