#### it; I just bought dishonored, uncharted 3 and Arkham city goty edition for $70. Plus I bought Hitman Absolution yesterday with a $5 rewards card at best buy, and then they gave me a $10 gift card for some reason. I guess this spring I will take all my games and sell them to best buy and use the gift card on gta 5.

Nice. AA is amazing. and like you I just picked up Dishonored and UC3. Your going to love Hitman.Lot's of gaming to do. Plus I pre-orderedAlien Colonial Marines Collectors EditionDead Space 3

 

[thecatch]

Apparently Amazon has some pretty good deals coming up tomorrow. At $25, there's no reason not to pick up Dishonored.

Grabbed AC3 for $35 even though I won't have any time to play it for awhile, great deal. They also have xcom for 39.99.

Went back on today and grabbed AC3 for $35. I figure I can play 1 game per month until gta5 or so. Shhhhh don't tell the wife.

Those in the know, give me a few reasons to buy a Wii U compared to another game system. I can get my hands on one and would like to know if/why I should.

When does Zelda come out because if Nintendo has plans, in the near future, to bring a Zelda game out, a Metroid game, maybe even Kid Icarus, this thing might be worth the price. Just curious though since I have found little information on those three.

Oh... any news on a great Mario Kart game would be a welcome.

Nothing definitive on Zelda. Here is just an educated guess. http://www.gamespot.com/news/zelda-for-wii-u-in-2014-report-6394633

Nintendo's iconic Zelda series will arrive on the Wii U in 2014, according to a new report at Wii U Daily.The game was supposedly planned to arrive during fall 2013 in order to help Wii U sales in the face of new competition from Microsoft and Sony. Both companies are believed to be launching new consoles during that window. However, Nintendo's original launch target has since been abandoned.

 

[Time Kibitzer]

Anyone planning on getting Far Cry 3? I just watched the Gametrailers review and the game looks fantastic.

It will eventually have a Mario Kart game and the other systems won't. No word on when those franchises will have a new game out, but you know it's inevitable. A new Metroid game, whether in the classic side-scrolling style or Metroid Prime style would be great on the Wii U tablet.

If you've been looking to get a PS3, now is your time - $200 at Best Buy and includes Infamous 1&2 and Uncharted 1&2.

That's a ridiculous deal.

Yes seriously. MY nephew works at Target and is holding one for me. I can use his discount to so probably like $175 for that whole package plus tax.

Was at Best Buy earlier today (circa 4:30 pm) and they had ~80 of those PS3's. Sony is just giving them away.

Boo on Amazon for only putting the PS3 and XBox versions on sale, both boxed and download PC versions are still at $50.

Better than writing them off.

Perhaps I'm crazy, but I think Saints Row 3 is better than GTA IV. And I loved GTA IV.

Just 4 challenges away from 100% completion in SR3.

PS3 gaming... Plasma or LCD?

Room is darker, not much direct sunlight but can be blocked off if needed.

 

[GTBilly]

Plasma for gaming and sports always.(I prefer plasma for everything but it handles motion better than any other option)

Any good suggestions? I'm seeing few deals online and in ads today. The tv will be used for gaming and movies... that is it. No tv hookup currently nor in the near future.

 

[Steve Tasker]

Has anyone played the DLC for Saints Row 3? Looks like there are 3 different packages that add a few missions that can be had for $20. I've enjoyed the game a lot and would like to keep playing but all I have left are some challenges.

 

[Tony Jabroni]

We are going to get my boys an Xbox for their room for Xmas. Can I transfer DLC, games (Minecraft, Arcade games) etc from one 360 to another? Would I need to use a flash drive?

I havent played video games since madden '93 on sega. I just got Battlefield 3 and Medal of Honor Warfighter for PS3 and I am so addicted.

Is there a place for newbies to compete v. each other? I signed on and played a quick match and the poor sucker that team up with me...well lets just say, I am glad I couldnt hear him. I am Loosecroo.

Welcome back to gaming!online is tough, there is no real "newbie" area. Some games will try and match up based on your characters levels but that does not speak to the gamers skill. I am an average video game player skill wise and in most online battles, I get destroyed quickly. It is depressing

 

[NewlyRetired]

I just purchased up Kingdoms of Amular. Anyone played that?

 

[drpill]

My Wii U froze up a couple of times this weekend while playing Nintendo Land. Rather frustrating, but there's supposed to be a patch this week that will fix the problem, and there's a temporary workaround for those who can't wait for the patch. Meanwhile it continues to be my favorite console ever.

I grabbed Dishonored for $29.99 and Spec Ops: The Line for $19.00. Amazon also has $100-off wireless Turtle Beach gaming headsets.

I just purchased up Kingdoms of Amular. Anyone played that?

Been playing it on xbox. Its a very ambitious 1st release and no wonder the company went under. I have almost 90 hours into the game and still have about half the map to explore( I do alot of side quests). Its very similar play wise to Skyrim, but the leveling up is quite different. You can reset your level up skill allotments at a fateweaver it just cost gold so dont worry about messing up your build.Its a fun RPG, with some nice writing and interesting story lines.

Combats cool, story's dumb. Good mindless hack&slash RPG that showed what GOOD, FUN combat in one of these games could do for the genre rather than the standard top-down view battle.I purchased KoA and a game called Dragon's Dogma at the same time, and I sold back KoA a week later and still have DD. DD is not for everyone, but it does it for me.

Cool. I love big long games. Is there plenty of loot, equipment, etc stuff like that to continually improve your character?Is there a level cap?

I also have DD on my want to try list, I am glad you like it.

I hope you guys enjoy Dishonored. That one was a nice breath of fresh air for me.

Played for about 30 minutes last night. I like the setup and atmosphere so far. Controls seem a bit buggy, but that might be my controller.

 

[Mad Cow]

Picked up Max Payne 3 for cheap over the weekend. So far a lot of fun for someone that has played through the other 2 a couple of times. Good stuff.

I read a review and one of the developers stated it would take 200+ hours to complete every side mission and main quest and thats if you knew exactly where you had to go and fast traveled and didnt fight unnecessary mobs.plenty of loot most of its crap that doesnt upgrade your stuff, but those rare nuggets of improvement are nice upgrades. loot = common<uncommon<rare<unique<set itemsI havent hit a level cap yet but I am sure there is one at some point. I think I am lv 35 or soskill trees can be mixed and matched you have 3 trees might/finesse and magic. I have balanced between finesse and magic but you can allocate however you wish, and this is what gets reset when you buy a reset; you get 3 points/lv to spend.

Watched a few minutes of game play on youtube. Looks a lot like Demon's Souls. Does it play along those same lines? Or is it totally different?
