Damn, that's quite a quality line up right there.

Well, except Tekken.

Blah.

I would have always figured that you would be a Tekken fan, Ezio.

MAG, how is it? How big is the community?

@Faenix There are still folks playing it, including me. If you play the regular "Team Deathmatch"-style game mode, Sabotage, you can get into a game almost immediately. You may have to wait around for a bit on the 256-player matches, however.

Two big reasons to consider it: MAG 2.0 should get released as a free update this week, bringing a lot of new features to the game, and secondly, they have a "Double XP" Happy Hour for your first hour of play every day, so that should help you level up quickly.

Now im hoping I can find it (No site currently lists the greatest hits version OR lowered the price $30.)

Good to know though, thanks

@Faenix Is MAG worth going back to? I played it minimally when I was also playing BFBC2 and it never caught on. The sniping seemed to hamper things.

Geez, I wish Nintendo would get their shit together and release some kind of "Greatest Hits" line already. It's probable that they don't NEED to, but I would totally buy Fire Emblem: RD, Mario Galaxy, and Twilight Princess again if they only cost $20.

The wii has too few decent games for a "greatest hits" lineup. As a wii owner I'm lucky if there are 2 or 3 games I look forward to each year for that system

Look at the NPD numbers; many of those titles stay in the top 20 despite a price drop (Super Mario Bros. DS? Really?) so Nintendo feels, rightly, that they don't need a price drop to keep demand high.

Waiting for a cheap version of Punch Out, myself, but I know better.

I don't mean to be rude but, you have horrible taste in games if you are not interested in anything outside of the games that you mentioned (not saying those games aren't great, but there is A LOT more out there).

I dunno why, but up until just this moment I always thought Ratchet & Clank Future: A Crack in Time was just a DLC add-on for Tools of Destruction.

Funniest part is that now GameStop will not be able jack up the price of COD4 to only a few bucks below MW2.

Wow, Demon's Souls made it onto the greatest hits? That's friggin great. maybe it will draw more people to the demon's souls community. the NA servers are pretty empty :(

@PurpleFries

A Greatest Hits release might also inspire them to keep the servers online longer than they're currently planning:

@PurpleFries

it matters the level you're at, there are level caps of who you can duel and play with, so if you're like me and went to over level 400 and something (I did that without the glitch for 1 million souls :P damn farming took forever!)
you won't really find anyone other than normal "ghosts" running around.

But if you see a lot of messages and blood spots everywhere still then lots of people are still playing it.

I remember when I got into new game + for the first time, I had 5 friggin duels one after the other and I was running out of healing crap! I wanted to quit and I couldn't! I won all of them 2 by luck and 3 by just being awesome and I was like GAH QUIT NOW BEFORE MORE JOIN! Those 2 last battles were the hard ones, they were too tense for me I had to quit before I gave myself a heart attack!

Most of these have been Greatest Hits/Platinum in Europe for quite some time now. Are they waiting to see how much they can squeeze out of the US customers every time? o_O

I might have to pick up MAG after a while. If I get a move controller for Christmas I would like to have at least one FPS to try it out on to see how well it works.

I know KZ3 will support it, but that doesn't come out for a while and I'm not too hyped for it anyway. I'm sure it'll be good and I'll probably at least check it out, but I'm just not very excited for it...

MAG is okay for the move, good to try out... but try it with your dualshock, its a truly awesome game in my opinion

It is a good off road racer with online and split screen multiplayer. I say its worth $30.

Oh how it must pain Gamestop when these games hit Greatest Hits and they have to take out their sticker gun and crank out an itty bitty little price . Rumor has it that anytime they have to sell a game cheaper then they want to, an angel gets its wings.

I was kind of hoping that Activision would release a Call of Duty: The War Collection for the PS3, but with the newer versions of CoD (since the older versions were never on the PS3). I would jump at such an offering in a second.

The PS3 copy isn't at Greatest Hits price level so why would it be listed here? If it was dropped another $10 then yes I could see why it'd be added here but til then, good job Joystiq.

True story - I went to the Sony store in Square 1 a couple weeks ago. Of course I checked out the PS3 / PSP area, what did I see?

Little Big Planet. Still sporting the full retail cost of $60.

Good thing I got my GOTY copy for the reduced cost some months ago!

Maybe I'll take a pic this weekend and send it in for our amusement.
