Ratchet and Clank (my goty already) for me.
Bagels (@AlsoBagels) @ Oct 26th 2009 1:20PM
You're either super excited to play this, or you haven't played Batman or U2. If it's the former, rock on with the hype machine, more power to you!
Livi70590 @ Oct 26th 2009 1:32PM
As good as Batman Arkham is, it doesn't feature any of the things I love about Ratchet & Clank, or the new time manipulation based puzzles!
WiredKnight: Keeper of Threads @ Oct 26th 2009 1:41PM
They better do more with it than last time (referring to Tools of Destruction, haven't played Quest for Booty yet). Clank's sections really seemed too simple. I used to really love Ratchet and Clank, I've been playing since the first one, but these newer ones I feel less inclined to finish for some reason. Hm.
deaftly (PSN,LIVE,STEAM) @ Oct 26th 2009 2:21PM
As tmac said below, Uncharted 2 was fun and all but Ratchet is where its at for me in terms of pure enjoyment when it comes to a game. Reminds me of how Nintendo used to make games.
Brysonial the Bison @ Oct 26th 2009 5:16PM
if anybody reads this comment PLEASE don't buy dj hero!
Bawd @ Oct 27th 2009 11:42AM
It amazes me how many games continue to come out on Nintendo's consoles every week. 99% being garbage...
Maurice @ Oct 26th 2009 12:21PM
That's a lot of games for a week.
Dave @ Oct 26th 2009 12:21PM
You guys forgot about Torchlight.
Dave @ Oct 26th 2009 12:36PM
Okay. It's there now. Thanks.
Matt @ Oct 26th 2009 6:09PM
They've had my money for a couple days now - can't wait until tomorrow, Torchlight looks excellent. :D
rohan @ Oct 26th 2009 12:22PM
I hate uni so much! they took all my money T__T
Chris D.(PSN: Aggie_CEO | XBL:The Aggie CEO | Steam: Aggie_CEO @ Oct 26th 2009 12:22PM
Ratchet & Clank, Forza 3, and Episodes from Liberty City....damn I didn't know LBP came out for PSP this week....
Xist27 @ Oct 26th 2009 12:52PM
Man there are a shitload of games for the PSP all of a sudden - I dont blame you for not being able to keep track... It snuck up on me too... I still need to get GT and Motor Storm on the PSP as well... I need a side job this holidat season!! LOL
Chris D.(PSN: Aggie_CEO | XBL:The Aggie CEO | Steam: Aggie_CEO @ Oct 26th 2009 12:22PM
oh yea....
Wiki-wiki-pedia....
Traceur_Ryuk [All Digital until December] (PSN: Ryuk_shinigami) @ Oct 26th 2009 12:25PM
I prefer Wakka wakka wakka
LaughingTarget @ Oct 26th 2009 12:27PM
Like minds. Beat me to it by a hair.
Chris D.(PSN: Aggie_CEO | XBL:The Aggie CEO | Steam: Aggie_CEO @ Oct 26th 2009 12:34PM
lol....
I shoulda said **in Timbaland voice**
Chris D.(PSN: Aggie_CEO | XBL:The Aggie CEO | Steam: Aggie_CEO @ Oct 26th 2009 12:38PM
and Traceur if it wasn't for some stupid new "rapper" named "Wacka Flocka" that would be funny....but he ruined the muppets for me
CheeziePotato @ Oct 26th 2009 12:57PM
I hate rap nowadays
90's Rap FTW
U Can't Touch That
Traceur_Ryuk [All Digital until December] (PSN: Ryuk_shinigami) @ Oct 26th 2009 1:13PM
That was actually a Pacman reference.
Mr. Fister @ Oct 26th 2009 1:15PM
ZA-KUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!
johnnynumber5 @ Oct 26th 2009 2:02PM
Most music in general sucks now-a-days it's not just hip hop. However, there is still some really fantastic stuff out there if you know where to look and what to look for ... I'll make a few suggestions.
Immortal Techique (revolutionary vol 1 & 2 and The 3rd World)
Sick Jacken (The legend of the mask and the assassin and stray bulletts)
Akir (legacy)
Block McCloud (I was drunk when I made this)
Ras Kass (Institutionalized vol 2, revenge of the spit)
Outerspace (blood and ashes)
Diabolic (foul play and theif and a liar)
That should be a good start and it branches off from there ... Immortal Technique is by far the best artist in the entire industry right now. My opinion of course.
WINterfang ( Now with the power to piss you off ) @ Oct 26th 2009 2:39PM
Wikipedia is not anywhere near as cool as your mad scratching skill make it out to be aggie.
LaughingTarget @ Oct 26th 2009 12:25PM
Wiki-wiki-wikee-pedia
Now that's out of the way, I already have Borderlands pre-loaded on Steam, leaving Ratchet and Clank to go.
Traceur_Ryuk [All Digital until December] (PSN: Ryuk_shinigami) @ Oct 26th 2009 12:26PM
I'm almost considering buying DJ hero for PS2 because it's cheaper, but I know I'll regret it later.
Traceur_Ryuk [All Digital until December] (PSN: Ryuk_shinigami) @ Oct 26th 2009 12:27PM
Also, that's a lot of damn Wii and DS games.
Bagels (@AlsoBagels) @ Oct 26th 2009 1:23PM
If you're willing to compromize that much why not just wait the inevitable price drop on your current-gen system of choice?
Traceur_Ryuk [All Digital until December] (PSN: Ryuk_shinigami) @ Oct 26th 2009 1:40PM
Well, also the fact that my PS3's blu-ray drive died, I'm not getting a new one 'til next month.
GiggMan @ Oct 26th 2009 12:28PM
Dj Hero Renegade, and R&C for me (and the family) this week. The only hard thing about it is having to hide everything until Christmas without it being seen and being tempted to play them.
Jack_Jackington @ Oct 26th 2009 12:29PM
I blame my stupid lack of funds for all the fun I'm missing out on. The last game I bought was Sacred 2 :-(
Stupid rent and bills and college and girlfriend
I'm looking for another job, if you're hiring joystiq. I can be an expert commenter
BIGGEN (LIVE-PSN: BIGGEN1103) @ Oct 26th 2009 3:08PM
dump the girlfriend...that's what i do. i solve problems.
SoshiKitai @ Oct 26th 2009 4:58PM
dump the bills... i am also a solver of problems.
BigKountry @ Oct 26th 2009 5:12PM
Dump the games... I'm a shitty problem solver.
Dirty @ Oct 26th 2009 12:31PM
Forza and Ratchet, now if I could only put down borderlands to play them.
Dirty @ Oct 26th 2009 1:31PM
For the first time I feel like its the fall game season, too many games to play not enough time. I think that I will not be finishing brutal legend, sorry Shafer.
MystileArmor @ Oct 26th 2009 12:31PM
Episodes of Liberty City would've been an instant purchase, if it wasn't for the fact I already own TLADD and don't feel like paying for it twice.
Forza 3 is on my wanted list, but with so many games around the corner it's gonna have to wait a bit.
Martin @ Oct 26th 2009 12:33PM
Anyone know how the X360 L4D2 preorder demo works? Is Gamestop going to call me with a code or something? I'm pretty sure they didn't ask for an email address when I preordered.
Soleless @ Oct 26th 2009 2:09PM
You have to go to the store and ask for the rave card which contains the code for the download
Xist27 @ Oct 26th 2009 12:33PM
Damn! This holiday season is going to be ruff on my gaming budget... I really want LBP on my PSP and also would love to purchase RATCHET AND CLANK - I Pre-ordered the renegade eddition of DJ Hero and that might wipe me out for a few weeks... $199.99 is pretty steep... My only hope is the 2 for 1 sale @ Best Buy...
Traceur_Ryuk [All Digital until December] (PSN: Ryuk_shinigami) @ Oct 26th 2009 12:37PM
You should have bought the standard edition, it's almost no different and it would leave you enough for another game.
Chris D.(PSN: Aggie_CEO | XBL:The Aggie CEO | Steam: Aggie_CEO @ Oct 26th 2009 12:40PM
the case is better tho....and it has more Jay-Z and Eminem songs I thought
Taiko Drum Grandmaster @ Oct 26th 2009 12:46PM
Case/Stand
Special Turntable (damn sexy)
Eminem/Jay-Z 2 CD set
That's what you're paying 80 more bucks for...
Traceur_Ryuk [All Digital until December] (PSN: Ryuk_shinigami) @ Oct 26th 2009 1:12PM
Yeah, not worth $80 imo
NickTP @ Oct 26th 2009 12:39PM
I thought LBP PSP was November 17th
RKN @ Oct 26th 2009 12:42PM
The GTA4 episodes will be a rental on the 360, now if it was coming to the PC, instant purchase!
Xist27 @ Oct 26th 2009 12:43PM
And it comes with some music CD's - Jay Z and Enimen - in the pack as well... Also the case turning into the stand was pretty cool also...
Wardo @ Oct 26th 2009 12:43PM
Just Ratchet and Clank for me this week. Man that is a lot of I don't care about this week.
Taiko Drum Grandmaster @ Oct 26th 2009 12:44PM
This is my list of shit I'm buying...just for this week...
LocoRoco Midnight Carnival
DJ Hero (with Turntable)
Forza 3
Borderlands (PC) (GOTY, been playing 360 copy)
League of Legends: Clash of Fates
