There's also another $5 off $50 coupon you can use.

Re: The Video Game Deals Thread

on a related note:

FWIW, IGN just gave Vanquish a 8.5.

Spoiler:

Vanquish is a stylish, spectacular looking game with great gunplay and some stunning set pieces. Although the game's story and character development pale in comparison to the action, I had a great time with Vanquish from the in-game tutorial all the way to the ending credits. Even though Mikami's latest creation is difficult at times, players looking for a highly entertaining shooter should look no further. Vanquish will keep you on the edge of your multi-thruster booster seat.

Thanks. Looks like I'll be picking up a pack of gum along with Kirby tomorrow so I can use that coupon along with my $15 Fallout preorder coupon and another $20 from a previous purchase. Nice deal all around (plus or minus Sin & Punishment 2).

Sin & Punishment 2 should always be a plus.

TFU dropped in price like a stone. I can wait for the sequel to do the same.

Re: The Video Game Deals Thread

Begin rant.

Even though I got it super cheap the first game made me so angry. I know I'll eventually cave and buy the thing because I'm an whore for Star Wars shit, but I'm really not happy about it.

Why can't LucasArts just get with the program, stop teasing us with garbage that's almost awesome and just redo X-Wing vs. Tie Fighter?

End rant.

Word. Why can't they just get their shit right? I read in Game Informer that TFUII is more of the same. The controls are a tad tighter but the plot is flimsy and the Force powers are only upped by one. The first game was a 7.0 at best and at worst (Star Destroyer level) it was a -2. Just skip the platforming games and give us X-Wing and Battlefront III please!

Resume rant.

Seriously. How many people does it take to demand X-Wing before this thing happens? I really think this game -- even a graphically enhanced port -- would sell buckets on nostalgia alone. Make it a real game... and who knows what kind of power that thing would have.

It just makes me so angry.

The Target we shop at still has about 10 copies on clearance for $5 and still can't get rid of them.

We should seriously start our own thread but imagine the MP possibilities.

I will join your thread.

The XvT series was awesome and we don't really have any kind of decent dogfighting game on a next gen system.

But that actually exists and it's like $5*!

I would be ALL OVER a revival of XvTF. However, if it's anything like Wing Commander's XBLA showing, they can suck a Wookie.

*For one week soon.

I always get my bad space shooter franchise revivals confused. Was that the one that played like you were on a hockey rink in a spaceship, or was that Battlestar Galactica? Or was that both? Either way, I think they're both delisted now. Or they should be.

edit : While fixing this post for clarity (quoting pinata above) I deleted my original post while he replied, so Pinata's answer is now above my question. To make matters worse, we went to a new page. Sorry. It's very confusing now.

When it goes on sale I will give it another try but the demo didn't wow me the first time. Also, since it focuses on multiplayer (iirc) I wonder if there is even a community with which to play.

This! The XvT series was a total blast. Especially for Star Wars nerds like myself.

I don't know the specific developer that did Jedi Starfighter. It was a Lucasarts game, but I don't know if there's a specific division of that or what. Factor 5 (which was not actually part of Lucasarts but partnered with them) made the Rogue Squadron games. Lair was their last game before they ceased operations.

Other than the Lego stuff, I haven't really gotten into Star Wars games that weren't about flying the ships. I would probably kill for a Rogue Squadron collection with all 3 games in HD.

Jedi Knight was pretty good. Had some pretty fun multiplayer fights.

Re: The Video Game Deals Thread

Sorry for the repost, but in case you care but don't check the Rock Band thread, Dell.com is selling the RB3 + Keyboard for $99.99 + tax with free shipping. If you don't mind waiting a week or so, that's a good deal for the $130 bundle.
