I justed wanted to you guys to know(you probably already do though) that compusas website isn`t very trustable. The website says the one store somewhat near me does have it, yet the guy on the phone said they do not :roll: . I`m not going to drive all over the place in a snowstorm to save 12 bucks. I`m assuming they do have it, and the system just lags...but that`s chance I`m not going to take. Just wanted to give the heads up.

So I can think it all balanced out, but I enjoy living in fantasy land.

 I want to move there. Fantasy land, that is. :wink:

 I`m going to have less free time from now on, so I`ll slow down. I figure over the next few months I play my backlog and only pickup a few titles here an there. Or so I say... :twisted: Seriously though, I`m going to slow down like I said and save up for next-gen console/s.

Wow, it's all screen. And it does make the DS look a little clunky. Props to the designers.

 While I do think the PSP has a nice design and is small. Even with the DS having 2 screens, I still wouldn`t call it clunky :wink: .

After days or weeks of seeing this post and seeing noone reply, I`ll chime in. :wink:
 I just realised a few years ago everytime I bought a game(well, not everytime but...) my wife would go buy something from the gap or something else in the mall. Then we would go out to dinner etc. By the time we got home and I installed the game I realised we had spent...

 $50.00 game of some sort
 $20-50.00ish on something else at the mall
 $25-50.00 dinner
 
 Heh,  went out for a $50 game and spent 100 bucks...WTF?!? Heh. Needless to say she doesn`t go with me to pick up games anymore :roll: . We can`t be spending money to feed and cloth her :wink: .

 But honestly, we have noticed that we are better off just avoiding the mall. The plaza stores are better, park closer, in and out faster, and you don`t spend money on "other" things as easy. For instance I`m going to the mall in a few minutes to pick up a game(alone :wink: )and I`ve already decided to get a hot pretzel.  Like I said I try to not frequently go to the mall, but the plaza store doesn`t have what I want! :evil:

So, I`m curious...is this Rob and Amber from Survivor? I don`t (usually) watch either of these show. The amazing race is usually pretty entertaining though. BTW, when is it on? When I first say this post I though " amazing grace?, why are they posting about it?"... :oops: I need more sleep.

I`m heading out in the next hour to grab this. I`m trying to wait a bit to see if compusa gets it in. It`s on sale for 37.99 there compared to 49.99! The website says they have it for sale for delivary, but the two stores around here don`t have it yet. I`m assuming they do, and they just haven`t scanned the boxes and opened up thta stuff yet. I`ll tell you guys if I do infact grab it from compusa or not. Either way it`s fine, I certainly didn`t plan on getting it for 37.99, but that would be nice. Although the compusa is about 15 miles away and the EB is about 3 or 4 and it`s snowing like crazy outside. So I`ll see where I grab it from :wink: .

BTW, here`s the linky to compusa http://www.compusa.com/products/product_info.asp?product_code=318452&pfp=SEARCH
 It appears to in-store pickup only though. Fine by me, just wanted to let you guys know.

That`s my sister!!! Lol, just kiddin` :wink: .

The subject is all that can be said. I mean, whoa, god damn dude.

 LOL. MJ is related to the Gman...or they are they the same person??? :wink: The Gman sure looks more human than MJ...

I`m about to replay thief3 soon for a second time, but thanks for the suggestion. I agree it`s a great game. I`m going to grab BIA for Xbox today I`ll see if EB has DX:IW. Thanks.

 One more review is in! 9.0 at 1up.

I`m grabbing it in a few hours. I won`t be able to play until later though . I`ll giev some impressions after I do play though, if I can tear myself away from it.
  As far as teamxbox and Ign having inflated scores, I`ll agree with that sometimes to a degree. But, I`ve really never been mislead by any reviews. Sure maybe one review could be wrong, but more than one. I haven`t ever noticed that before. I know lots of words like Black and white will be thrown around here, but I loved that game! :wink: Plus, the early hands-on impressions have been great. Later.

9.5 Presentation
Overall it's a very convincing and exciting production. The perfect blend of history and fun.
9.0 Graphics
The look of the game is undeniably authentic. Character models are the high point here but the environments and effects are also amazing.
9.0 Sound
Very immersive. The chaos of the battlefield never seemed so near. Voice work is good but the actual dialogue is hit or miss.
9.5 Gameplay
The action is intense and engaging. You'll find the tactical elements are simple to use and are well integrated into the overall shooter format.  
9.5 Lasting Appeal
The missions vary a little each time you play them and that's enough reason to try the campaign more than once. Multiplayer is a blast.
9.3 OVERALL
(out of 10 / not an average) -IGN



Gameplay-9.5
Fantastic presentation, solid controls, and a story that rivals most motion pictures. The accuracy to the events and weapons provides an authentic feel that no other WWII game has managed. The multiplayer mode is a refreshing change from the typical deathmatches we see so often.

Graphics-9.2
Even with its framerate hiccups and few graphical anomalies, this is a beauty to play through. The soldier models are some of the most detailed to date and eerily lifelike.

Audio-9.3
The motion picture-like score complements the gameplay to perfection. The voice-acting is believable thanks to the edgy script. Turn up the 5.1 system because this is how a war game should sound.

Longevity-9.1
The single-player campaign should take you anywhere from 10-15 hours depending on the difficulty. There is plenty of incentive to play through at tougher levels with tons of unlockables. The multiplayer modes further extend the replay value.


Next-gen-9.1
While there have been many WWII FPS games before, none have managed to provide a more realistic representation than Brothers in Arms. The fresh multiplayer mode shows that FPS games aren’t just about deathmatches.
Overall 9.4-Teamxbox


 I simply can`t wait. I`ll not going to sleep much tonight!

Come on..he'sa grown man with a plastic surgery fetish that likes to admittedly sleep in a bed full of children. Damn nut job. The guy has some serious issues most likely due to his father.

 I agree.

SS2 was a great game. And I do have a beefy enough PC I believe. DX:IW is mine! I`ll grab it soon before it disappears from shelves, but play it in a few months once this backlog is gone :wink: .

Technically it doesn`t have coop, does it?

 I`m grabbing the xbox version later today. I`ll be on later at night . Rage if you wanna play a bit, my gamertag is Harpua3.
 
 This game looks juts as good as I expected. Both single and multiplayer look like a hoot. Anyone wanting to team up with me, send me a friends request if you want. Later.

 Ahhhh, and here`s this too http://reviews.teamxbox.com/xbox/900/Brothers-in-Arms-Road-to-Hill-30/p1/...I`m off to read.

 Wow a 9.3 and 9.4 so far! Good stuff indeed.

I`m not really expecting much. I did see that it was 10 bucks. Wow $3 would have been nice though. :wink: I`ll read up on the reviews. Thanks.

Did anyone here of this whole hospital lawsuit issue of his now? Wow :shock: !

that hospital lawsuit is a sad excuse for someone to try to milk a little more money out of the guy.  i don't see any way they could possibly hold him responsible for that woman's condition...she was in trouble no matter which room of the hospital they chose to keep her in.  now it sounds like the family is just trying to make some money off an unfortunate set of circumstances.

 I agree with that. Either trouble looks for MJ, or he goes looking for it.

Still.. has anyone here tried Lesko's program?

  Lol, the joker/riddler. Thanks guys, lots of interesting ideas/comments so far. I really do want to know if anyone has used his program though. Anyone else care to comment?

Pancakes, pancakes, and more pancakes.  Seriously, I get a tremendous amount of energy from eating them, more than any other food laden with carbohydrates.

 For some reason that is funny to me. Kind of like in a Pop-eye kind of way .

Well, I also agree a picture is needed to figure this one out. Even looking average at best I wouldn`t think this would be needed to get a date. There`s a lot of average at best looking guys out there, not me of course .
 Wow, it really is sad and funny at the same time. How about that! Here`s me-->  :shock:  :cry: .

Seriously more people might know him as "wacko jacko" than micheal jackson. Did anyone here of this whole hospital lawsuit issue of his now? Wow :shock: !

This has to be cheap now. Does anyone recommend it at a cheap price(10-20 bucks)? I know when it came out it was buggy etc, but from what I`ve read they fixed most of those issues, is that true? I loved the first one, but I really don`t have any idea of what to expect here. That`s gotta be a good thing. Any comments?

Wow his childhood had to have been SUPER bad. I knew it was bad, but for someone to do this to themself...on purpose...wow. Watch out for that pun... :wink:

So you`re not going to play it?!?!? To each his own. But that is one hell of a game.

Lol, I want good not worthless info :wink: .

That`s what I thought for the most part. Does anyone have any ideas of legit methods of working from home? Just curious.

I always see "work from home and make $$$" and it always seems to be too good to be true. Has anyone around here had any experience with any of it? Is any of it actually legit? Also, what about that crazy guy with the money signs on his shirt(the who says you can get $$$ from the government for rent etc). Is that at all legit? I would think not, but...So spill the beans on this for me. Later.

I just got second sight and psi ops both for $30.00 new. Both are really worth it so far. Not perfect games, but LOTS of fun each.

Yes there are but...the vents have a cover that need lifted to get into(or so gamefaqs wants me to think). So I can`t seem to lift the vent cover and move the box over at the same time. Only one thing can be moved at a time... :cry:

Hmmm. I didn`t think of that for some reason...Judging by the faqs that isn`t the way to do it. I`ll give it a go though when I play next though. Thanks.  Does anyone else have any other ideas in case that`s not it?

I looked at gamefaqs but all the faqs were useless on this part anyway. SPOILERS!!! If anyone cares :wink: )...



 I`m very early on where I need to get into a dudes office and there are vents on the wall that you can move with TK, but I have no clue on what to do. I can lift the vent cover, but I can`t seem to find a way ot go into the vents. All the faqs say thats what is needed to be done, but not how to do it... Does anyone know what I`m talking about? If so, please share :wink: . Thanks a bunch.

I`m still not sure. Xbox or PC of BIA??? This week, on my bday with full voice support out of the box w/ live! vs. pc in a few weeks, not on my bday...and 3rd party voice(I think anyway). The xbox version has been pulling me over that way. Not sure yet though. :?
 Rage and thin, I`ve been alot recently and on late recently! I play with a few people that are pretty good, not that I am . I`m a big fan of tactics.    Sent me a invite and I`ll shoot stuff :wink: .

:evil:  :evil:  :evil: :wink:   Hehe. Just kidding. No biggy. I`m not going to lie I really want to get rid of this stuff, but it`s not you fault. Thanks for telling me as soon as you found out. So, is anyone else out there interested in this 9700pro128mb card?

Still Project gotham racing 2, a bit of crimson skies, Halo 2 LOTS. That`s about it right now! Hopefully Brothers in arms next week!

I mailed you again :wink: .

The PSP lauch games are mostly shit anyway.

*cough* fanboi *cough*  :wink:

Seriously though, I don't know how you can claim the PSP launch games are mostly shit. I think this is one of the most impressive launch lineups for a system, handheld or not, ever.

Compare it with the launch lineup of the DS....now that was mostly shit. I bought the DS, not for DS games (since there are basicly none that interest me at all right now) but for the GBA games.

 
 They are all mostly shit imho. There`s alot of them...I won`t deny that. It`s the quality I think that will be lacking.

I think, in the end, quality software is going to be the deciding factor (at least for us gamers   )

I bought a DS at launch and have tried most of the games that have come out for it. Out of those I would say that only Zoo Keeper is a great title, with Touched and Mario having their moments (well, the mini-games in Mario anyways) That's a pretty underwhelming start--and this from someone who really wanted it to succeed right out of the gate. Looking to the future, there are a few titles like Advance Wars, Animal Crossing and Pokemon (NOT Pokemon Dash -- a proper Pokemon RPG!)  that are promising, but I get the distinct feeling that this will be another Nintendo platform where we wait for months in between quality games.

The PSP, on the other hand, has a very impressive lineup of games coming. We'll have to wait on reviews for many of the launch titles (I am particularly leery of the EA sports titles), but I'd be willing to bet that there will be at least a half dozen or so of the 24 launch titles that score in the 80-90+ range (Ridge Racer and Lumines being my top picks) After launch, the PSP has a VERY impressive lineup of games coming: Grand Theft Auto, Gran Turismo, Devil May Cry, Final Fantasy (down the road) and a slew of others. I don't think it will be valid to say that the PSP doesn't have the "genre of game I like", because it will have plenty of games of every genre!!

And let me tell you, just wait til you see that screen!!! :shock:  :shock:

 I`ve played a PSP(at EB) it really just doesn`t do anything for me. I have a cube, xbox, pc and ds. If you noticed I don`t have a ps2. Most of the psp games are similar to what`s on the ps2. And I guess that`s just not my cup of tea.
 And seriously those launch games DO NOT impress me. Metal great solid card game...I don`t like metal gear solid(minus the 1st one) and while the games graphics are good, it just doesn`t look fun for me at least. The racers don`t look that good either, other than gt mobile. And that is really not my kind of a racing game. And then the other stuff looks blah.
 I`m not saying it`s a bad system...but for the price it`s going for, and the fact that I don`t want a mp3 players, movie players and moving parts on a handheld gaming machine...I just don`t see why many people are going nuts over it.
 I like innovation. The touch screen and the duel screens are really interesting. There is SO much potention here it`s crazy. I think even if most of it never sees the light, we`ll still see great amounts of new, fresh ideas. Add in my backlog of gba games playable on the machine and I was sold.

Well, the main reason I ask is that I don't have convenient access to my Xbox anymore, I am 100% Ps2 right now.

Thanks for the replies. I'll give it a shot sometime.

 I noticed that. You added me to your friends list, or vice versa. Then I never saw you online :cry: .
 Why no access to Xbox anymore?

I just was going to get into Ada`s story too. I heard it is a few hours long!!! Is this true?

Ahh, nice to see I`m not alone :wink: I`m going to play a bit tonight too. Dispite it being quite rough around some of it`s edges, it`s truly a good experience. I only paid 10 bucks for this new .
