Brutal Legend postmortem: Scrum, content explosion and lawsuit drama

Dec 11th 2009 6:22PM (Joystiq)
I'm playing through Brutal Legend and it rather entertaining. It is not a hard game by any stretch of the imagination, but the combination of dialog, some of the scenes, and the gameplay is pretty fun. The "sidequests" have a sort of half-baked feel to them, but they aren't the main part of the game anyway.

If you find a cheap copy of Burtal Legend, get it. I got mine on sale during Black Friday Amazon deals and I had another $20 off, so I paid about $15 for it brand new. I plan on selling it when I beat the game and making a profit for once.

Swag Saturday: Tekken 6 (360)

Nov 22nd 2009 12:19AM (Joystiq)
I would pummel Baby New Year with Mokujin. Baby New Year is so smug and pompous thinking it can get out of being a target that I'd kick it in the back of the head with any character Tekken threw at me.

Of course I haven't even bothered to find out if Mokujin is in Tekken 6.

Cheap Xbox Live Gold at Sears and Kmart this week [update: Starts Nov 18]

I did call the sears.com at 1-800-697-3277 and I pushed the option to place a new order and I chose the electronics department. I talked to Suzzanne ID# 083779 from the Tucson AZ call center. I explained that I had heard about a sale price on the sears item# 05891866000 that was not showing up on their website. She checked the website and then she checked an internal database of some sort (something customers don't have access to) and she found that item number in her internal database with a promotion date of today (18th) through sometime in December (I don't remember the end date) with a price of $34.99. Since she found it in there, she had me place the order online and she credited back $15 per card that I ordered. There was a limit of 2 cards per order, so I placed two orders for a total of 4 cards. I received 2 credits back on my credit card of $30 each or a total of $60 off of 4 cards.

They have the promotional price in their system, it just isn't on the public website yet. If you get someone who is friendly/helpful and you are nice to them then you too can get these cards for $35+tax w/ free shipping.

So for those that called and failed to get the price honored, you didn't try hard enough or you just didn't get someone on the phone that felt like helping you, or something else caused you to not get the same service that I received.

That worked for me. I talked to a lady on the phone with sears.com and she was able to lookup the item# in their internal product listings and found the sale price. She was able to adjust the price after the order has been placed. Their online website has not been updated yet, but the Sears.com rep was able to confirm the price and was able to adjust my order accordingly. She was very helpful and pleasant too which surprised me.

Very well put. Those were my exact same concerns. I checked Sears website again today and the price still hasn't dropped. Lovely. I hope we get another update to this article and this time with some sort of indication of source or evidence. Watch: They'll come back and say that the sale starts tomorrow.

Maybe the sale will start the 18th... but they didn't say what month and Joystiq assumed it meant this month. Maybe it will be the a18th of September, next year or the year after that. (I had a boss who would do that to us...he's say, sure you can have a raise on Sunday. But he would fail to say which Sunday.)

Either the deal is really well hidden, or it simply isn't live yet. I'll keep refreshing the Sears page and see if the price drops. I can't even find a 12 month card on Kmart's website.

Joyswag: Call of Booty: Prestige Edition

So, if someone who has the game already wins this: Would you please give me your game that you don't need any more since you have the Smorgasbord Edition?

The game would be ncie to win. I don't feel like shelling out the bucks to buy it brand new, so either used in a few months or won would be nice.

Sony's PlayStation Motion Controller now codenamed Sphere?

It's not really a codename if everyone knows what the name means.
