For the same reason i like Feeding Frenzy. Simple game, can play it in short bursts, and it is kid-safe.

Anyone have Dirt and the wireless racing wheel? Have any problems with this combination?
I read a report on amazon that claimed the combination was "virtually impossible to use" and was from someone who claimed proficency with the racing wheel. Anyone agree/disagree with this?

I just got off the phone, after holding almost an hour, and the girl now tells me they're sending me a "refurb" with new hardware inside and it should be here Thursday. IShe thinks they felt it would be quicker than fixing my original system. Fuck, I was hoping to not get a refurb. Oh well, maybe this alleged "new" hardware inside will be good.

Damn!
I was on a perfect run in Pac-Man: CE this morning before work. I was going into the second set of keys without dying once and my wife interrupted my game...pause...unpause...die.
I still added 10k to my high score, but damn, I could have easily had another 15-20k, which would have been top 20 material. damn. damn. damn.
Oh well. I'll get there again.
It doesn't. I've had a 360 since launch at that doesn't change my stance on the game. I'm not a fan either.

I liked it, especially at the price, but Mutant Storm Reloaded is far and away the better game: different game modes, co-op, etc.

Yep, that game should be illegal because it is so addicting.
Why didn't you wait for the Game of the Year edition with the 2 expansion packs?

Why didn't I wait? I'm American through and through. I NEED IT NOW DAMMIT!!!
I wouldn't say I re-bought it specifically for the expansions, considering I only played the game about 15 hours the first time I owned the game.
The fact the expansions are out definitely sweetened the deal, but I probably won't get to that point of the game probably for another month or so.
Yes, the smart thing would have been to wait. The smarter thing would have been to hold on the game + guide in the first place, rather than selling it before the expansion came out and the price going up.
Hindsight ftw
