Planning for my engagement to my girlfriend.

His first move should be to make sure that Sega never makes another game with a Marvel property.

The lesson here is to never preorder or buy a new EA game at launch. If you wait 2 weeks, you can get it for $40. Every new EA game in 2011 has followed this trend, and I'm hoping it continues with Shadows of the Damned next week.

Not sure why EA is so quick to devalue their products. It's like they are adopting an iOS strategy to retail.

@This Little Man Says His Name Is
Certainly, I agree that there is a difference, especially bc Sony lets reviews of their games go up weeks in advance to build buzz, giving Shadow of the Damned an opening (as what happened with Killzone and Bulletstorm). But the coverage of E3 will push this game down the priority list. But Infamous 2 will get the premium placement on retail shelves in the PS3 section.

umm...wait what? aren't these games geared towards similar audiences? why release them so soon to compete with each other?

and why release shadow of the damned on the same day as Infamous 2 and during E3 week? A new IP performs best when it is the most high profile launch of the week and the retail/online stores can feature it and the media can give its review premium placement on the site and it is the main topic of blogs and podcasts. It's just going to get lost in that week. Didn't EA learn from their mistake of launching Mirror's Edge the same day as Call of Duty: World at War?

Valentine's Day is a convenient excuse for a promotion, but it is clear that EA is cutting the price to push their games to the top sellers before the launch of the Verizon iPhone on February 10.

Id love to create a San Francisco Rush type track with tons of jumps and shortcuts.

I'm confused. Yesterday I see this article, and today I see a news story from IGN saying that it did sell over one million copies.

Guess the analyst was wrong...

Whatever Steam has on sale.

Nice, and Family Feud is a stretch.
