This may be a dumb question, but do they make X-Box shaped Playstation controllers?

Haha. Unfortunately they do not. You'll have to get used to the one designed for tiny Asian women.

Finally put in Assassin's Creed II (bought a used copy around Christmas) and I have to say...wow. I couldn't put it down for like 5 hours of game time last night. With the Gears 3 beta opening up tomorrow to occupy me for the next month, followed by LA Noire and AC II for the summer, and then Gears 3 in the fall (which will probably keep me occupied for like 2 years 
) and AC III - which I'm sure I'll pick up once I've finished AC II....I might be set until Bioshock: Infinite. It could be a looooooong time until I get around to finishing Bulletstorm.

There are some 3rd party controllers for the PS3 that have a similar shape and layout to the 360 controller.There is one that is called the Power A Pro Elite. It's not bluetooth wireless but it can be used wirelessly with a USB dongle.

AC 2 and Brotherhood were very good. Made the first cry like a little baby.

I never played Zelda when I was a kid so I downloaded an emulator and the ROM last night. I'm working on the 3rd dungeon now.

Traded in a few games to basically get Portal 2 for free.Looking forward to it. If someone (madshot?) wants to run an exclusive co-op I'd be all over that.
I'll have it Tuesday night if the UPS guy doesn't decide to take off early. I'm literally the last stop.

I assume the co-op story/mode is completely different than the single player mode, correct?I'll pick it up after work tomorrow.edit - (googled it and the answer is yes, they are separate)Traded in a few games to basically get Portal 2 for free.

Hey gamer-guys:
Was recently discussing car videogames and vaguely remembered some game from 5/10/15 years or so ago, but couldn't remember the title. I only remembered there was one race... it might not have been a racing videogame, but there was either a single level or a minigame within the game, like GTA or something, where you were racing against the computer... and the cheat was to just sit still for five/ten seconds at the starting line, let your opponents all race ahead of you, then they'd all hit this bottleneck in the road at the same time and crash... leaving the whole course wide open for you. It was probably PS3/PS2/or N64. IIRC, the cars were real model cars, not Mario-Kart-like.
I know, very little to go on. Ring any bells? Been driving me crazy trying to remember.

I think for most people it's probably "pick up a couple months later at a much cheaper price" worthy. I think it will be a fantastic game, but nothing you'll miss by grabbing it later. I just wanted to take advantage of some of the trade-in preorder bonuses.i know absolutely nothing about this game other than what amazon has said. is it release day worthy?'Worm said:I assume the co-op story/mode is completely different than the single player mode, correct?I'll pick it up after work tomorrow.edit - (googled it and the answer is yes, they are separate)'madshot31 said:'Worm said:Traded in a few games to basically get Portal 2 for free.

For those who pre-ordered Portal 2 through Steam, it should unlock to play in sometime in the next 30 minutes. Killing Floor should finish up cutting the time down. You can check out the launch clock right here.

Hmmm, I am thinking about this one. I still have $84 in Gamestop credit to use, but already have so many games. And yet Portal was so awesome.
I might not be able to hold out on this one.

Footballguy
I played through about an hour and half of it last night. So far, it's very good. I won't give away anything I've seen so far. I'm sure there is plenty I still haven't seen also. If you enjoyed the first, you'll enjoy the second. Also for those with a Playstation 3, remember that you can buy the Playstation 3 version and it has the PC/Mac version included for no extra cost.Hmmm, I am thinking about this one.

New MK releases today. IGN gives it an 8/10. I'm an old-school MK fan. I won't be buying this new, but definitely plan on picking this up in a month or two when it hits the bargain bin or used stores.

It doesn't work that way. The PS3 version uses Steam also. You have to tie your PSN account to your Steam account to unlock.Best Buy has a $10 gift card with purchase of Portal 2 all week. Toys R Us has a $15 gift card with purchase of Portal 2 today only. Playstation 3 and XBox 360.There may be more deals on the internet. But those are the retail deals I've seen.

I thought Brotherhood wasn't nearly as good as ACII. Seemed that the story wasn't nearly as long or as difficult as ACII.Finally put in Assassin's Creed II (bought a used copy around Christmas) and I have to say...wow.

I haven't played Brotherhood yet, but AC2 was the easiest game I've ever played. I can't even think of what the runner-up would be. It was lots of fun and really well-made, but goodness gracious it was easy, aside from one or two of the assassin's tombs.

So? Let's say he links his PSN account to his Steam account. He downloads the PC version via Steam. Then he sells back his PS3 copy (minus the download code, of course). What am I missing here? He'll never need the PS3 disc for anything.

Anyone getting Portal 2 for 360? I want to try out the coop.

There was so much more of FO3 to do but I accidentally finished the main story of the game and then got bored with it. Ive never gone back to explore all those extra buildings because I maxed out my level and was done the story. Great game but I it got boring once I could pretty much own everything and "teleport" anywhere. Lost the isolation then.
Mad Cow
Welshers and Dawdlers Beware!
Yeah, but I do find myself going to places that Three Dog mentions in his little blurbs to check it out. I have popped in on random slavers/raiders to bust their asses, but still a great game. After this one, gonna have to finish Bioshock 1 then 2 and think about Crysis 2 which is sitting unopened here on my desk. Don't even get me started on the Steam games I have on my account that I have not even tried.

I'm not sure. But I've read elsewhere that Valve has planned ahead for that. I'm not sure how. Perhaps trade-in value will be low without the game working with Steam also. I've also read that they may not even accept trade-in on it for the same reason they don't accept PC game trade-ins. Who knows. Let me know how it goes if anyone tries it. I'm curious. I'm sure YMMV.For the record, I'm still working on the single player campaign in Portal 2. Considering it only took me 2 1/2 hours my first playthrough for the first one, that's a huge improvement in length to the first. It's still good. I haven't touched the co-op yet.'IvanKaramazov said:

On the EA Deals FB page they are going to post a code for 60% off FIFA 11 with free shipping once this Kardashian thing gets 1000 likes by 6pm.

The major drawback of Steam is you are totally screwed when the Internet goes down. And since I have cablevision, that seems to be often. Like right now. ####! No portal for me.
SlaX
Footballguy
Once you have it installed, you can play in offline mode. No multiplayer, of course. I hate when cable is sporadic.

Portal 2 has been good so far. My only complaint is that I just started Chapter 3, and most of the testing rooms still feel like tutorials. I'm ready for the difficulty to get ramped up.
Buddy Ball 2K3

Same here. I bought it last night because of the IGN review and Amazon had a $20 off your next game purchase deal, so with Brink coming out in a few weeks it was a no brainer.

I saw the commercial for it last night after I ordered it and I saw that all you do is run around with a robot shooting holes in walls?
Worm

That was probably the co-op commercial. But yeah, it's a puzzle game disguised as a FPS. If you don't enjoy puzzle games and being challenged, then you won't enjoy this.
