Mad World for $12.99 too. Not that I'd know if it was any good. It's in that unopened pile.

Thanks for posting. Anytime cards go 20% off or more and I have less than 4000 points banked, I snag one.

MadWorld is on clearance for $5 at Sears, if you can find it.

jdpatri

Great. $5. Pretty sure I got mine for $35. I might just go play that bastard tonight so I at least get it out of that unplayed pile.

I hope this is sarcasm.

Fallout 3 was the best game of 2008...even if I didn't play it till 2009.

UncleGramps

Nope, that's not sarcasm, that's just miyu. He's...special.

xmiyux

It wasn't sarcasm at all. I thought Fallout was tedious, dull, depressing, visually unimpressive, and a massive letdown after Oblivion. Admittedly i prefer fantasy to sci-fi for RPG stuff but that preference couldn't even account for my level of disappointment in Fallout.

fujishig

I can see someone not liking the style or tone of the game, but to call it terrible, and not worth even trying out?

xmiyux

Honestly i wouldn't recommend anyone not at least try something out - even Sneak King is worth at least trying out. I was using hyperbole in my earlier recommendation mostly because i can't fathom why the game gets the acclaim it did when I think it was a step backwards for Bethesda from Oblivion.

lordwow

Do you mind if I ask how much of it you played Xmiyux?

I have to admit, I think that if they come out with an Oblivion game with the combat and skills system of Fallout, they'll have a ridiculous hit on their hands.

Michael Corvin

Oblivion and Fallout weren't 'ridiculous' hits?

xmiyux

Not at all! I think i had around 9 or 10 hours on my save game (on Oblivion i had about 98 hours on my save and i never finished the main quest line).

I believe i was one or two cities past finishing Megaton.



Did you like the combat system of Fallout? I thought VATS was almost a band-aid for a somewhat broken system. It was super lame to have to carry around multiple copies of the same weapon because stuff would keep breaking.

lordwow

I think it was better than Oblivion's.

Fallout > Oblivion for me too, both the game as a whole and the combat system.
I think the wasteland environment was more interesting/exciting for me than another medieval/fantasy one. I had issues with combat system in Oblivion, it seemed clunky to me, whereas VATS let me play it almost like a turnbased game, except with ranged weapons, which was unique. The world and inhabitants seemed so much more "alive" to me (post nuclear wasteland notwithstanding).
I don't see dull. I can see depressing to an extent, both in story and graphics. The world was very gray/brown, so I'll give that as a valid point. But to me, Oblivion was a letdown when I played it, Fallout was what I wanted Oblivion to feel like based on all the hype/reputation it had.

I will say if/when you play Fallout (it should be when, not if) you really have to give it at least an hour or two. I remember not really enjoying the first hour or two, and having second thoughts about buying it, but once I went outside, that all changed.

Um...looks like the Amazon MS Points deal is dead.

MoviePage

I played Fallout first, then Oblivion. I considered it a major step down.

Supermallet

Oblivion > Fallout.

Michael Corvin

Hot Deal!

Dell as the 360 arcade for $159

Or you can get it for 199 minus the 10% coupon and you get a free $50 gift card.

Ok, this is from CAG and can be a little complicated. You can get Dawn Of War 2, registered on Steam, for $5.87.

This is a British site. Go to This Site. They sell the game for 5 Pounds. Add it to your cart and then enter code MYTHQ-73853-WHPTB . That will take off Two Pounds. Pay for it with Paypal. You can use your credit card, but it's been difficult for some. They'll email you a CD Key instantly. You can then register that CD Key on Steam and start downloading the game off Steam. They also give you a code for bonus content that you can download once you install the game. I just did it (except the bonus content) and it went great.


edit: Looks like it might be dead now. People aren't getting it to go through even with Paypal anymore. Just a word of caution.

edstein

There is a price mistake going at TRU this week. The deal is to buy Battlefield Bad Company 2 and get Mass Effect 2, Army of Two, L4D2 or, Dante's Inferno for half price. However, there is an error and those second games are coming out for free. A few of us got in on this deal yesterday. Who knows how long it will take for them to correct this so get in now.

jdpatri

If only I had a TRU anywhere near me. Though next you'll tell me this doesn't work on the PS3 versions of BBC2 and Dante's Inferno.

chess

Probably, but both versions of Army of Two are $40 today at Amazon (Deal of the Day).

edstein

No the deal is good for both the 360 and PS3 versions of these games.
