    I quite enjoyed it to be honest. The game mechanics are not it's strongest point. The shooting is very annoying and weird at first, but once you plough AP into the pistol it becomes a lt easier/enjoyable to use.

    There's a great mechanism where after the first set of missions, you can do a complete respec. So I changed from being a shotgun-wielding gadgeteer to a stealth unarmed combat ninja type, which so far I've found much more fun.

    Dawn of War 2: Chaos Rising is only €12 till 12pm at Zavvi. Heard it improved a lot of the problems of DoW2.

    Dead Space is a fantastic game and a steal at that price. Brutal Lengend lives up to the first part of it's name....were it not for the main character and the good music... I don't think I'd pick it up again if it was going for 99 cent.... Awful game!!!!!

    I just posted this on Bargain Alerts and thought I should post it here too


    Anyone who owns, or is planning to purchase the new Guitar Hero : Warriors of rock game can download three free songs for this week only. Its called the Rocktober fest track pack and contains the following songs

    Resistance - Muse
    Na na na - My Chemical Romance
    The Infection - Disturbed.

    I checked this on Xbox live. Its been pointed out to me that this is only available to people with Xbox live gold accounts

    Sorry to ask but if anyone sees Scott Pilgrim or Castle Crashers on sale on XBL, could you post it? I'd really like to buy the games but especially CC has been out for a while so i can wait until they go on sale!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,923 ✭✭✭kearneybobs


    Tales of Monkey Island Complete Pack is on special on Steam at the moment.
    €4.69 for all five episodes.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 833 ✭✭✭Jayd0g


    Armored Core:For Answer only €7 in HMV for the xbox version :)

    Yoink!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,067 ✭✭✭Gunmonkey


    Vanquish is only €34 for pre-order on Zavvi, probably wont have it by release day but a damn nice price for it before its even out.

    EDIT: Also saw marvel ultimate Alliance 2 on PS3 for €12 in HMV Henry St, not a great game but 12 bones aint bad for a few hours of fun.

    Must have been trying to offload the stock as pre-orders were low or something. I say after a month it will be cropping up in their Monday Bargain newsletter.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,358 ✭✭✭seraphimvc


    it was like a promo sales i guess. i agree that the price will prob drop quickly in few months time.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,635 ✭✭✭Fol20

    I was prepared for this, which is why I purposefully chose the word reasonable rather than bargain to give me some wiggle room ;).

    Nah it was really just a heads up people who may have been waiting for a cheaper digital copy, where possible it is my preferred option too I have to say (Despite this I have never paid the full price for any of my steam games).


  • Moderators, Technology & Internet Moderators Posts: 17,151 Mod ✭✭✭✭cherryghost


    Defensive before the attack :)

    Fancy a game of Starcraft? ;)


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators Posts: 10,093 Mod ✭✭✭✭marco_polo


    Actually for 12 euro I think I might just pick it up for my criminally underused Xbox instead.

    $13.80 aint bad. Had the Demo installed from a while ago and forgot to run it. Very enticing, installing the full now :pac: I love gaming on the bleeding edge of last year.


    Edit: damnit what a fantastic game.

    Got a refund on this but also received 3 coolpoints to cover my disappointment so not too shabby.

    Everyone else who purchased at this price once all the keys were used should received points as well.
