Pre-Ordered mine the other day. The collector one too... think it's supposed to come with a ton of crap. A metal bat blade (the thing he throws), some collectible comic, and some other stuff.

zee batarang is plastic, I pre-oredered the CE too, the waynetech container it all comes in looks neat

where you got that info of the batarang being plastic?

I've asked the sales associates at my local Gamestop and they're all saying that the replica is made of ABS plastic as mentioned above. Of course Gamestop isn't the most credible source I know, but common sense should tell us that an actual metal Batarang is SCREAMING "LIABILITY".

I'm surprised at the response this topic has gotten. Most ot my topics die off rather quickly.

Moving on.

FC2 has quite a bit to offer but it's not for everyone, no; I'll agree. The lack of mission variety is a nuisance, but then again it's no different from every other FPS. You're primary objective is quite simple. Kill or be killed. That's the standard formula used in ALL FPS games. What sets FC2 apart from other FPS games is that it's not linear, and there are SO many different ways of accomplishing your mission. The scenery isn't dull and boring, it's lush and beautiful. Granted the malaria is a pain, but it added more depth to the character in that your placed on the battlefield in the middle of a civil conflict in a country that's known to be disease ridden and dangerous. I guess I just get into the characters too much. There' a lot of solid arguments there's no denying that, but I find it to be a superb game that though it has it's flaws has quickly become one of my favorite game in it's genre.

Unfortunately The Batarang is plastic. Sorry. I guess it's too much of a liability. I mean imagine the headlines the day after it's release. The media would be buzzing about how many people died, or were injured from an actual metal replica. LOL! I'd have to laugh maniacally.

Finally a multiplatfrom game exclusive for the PS3 that's worth getting the PS3 version of the game for.

Yeah...

You get a redemption code for the Joker Challenge Map DLC. I'm not sure if it's a pre-order code or not. Doesn't matter to me it's pre-ordered and paid for so YAY ME!

I picked it up the other day. It's fun a fun game to mess around on. I just recently unlocked the Flare Gun, LOL! It's about useless when it comes to ammo, but man has it gotten me out of a couple of pickles. I shot one guy in the face with it and he exploded into flames which I thought was hilarious. I had to pause the game and laugh maniacally. I'm most impressed with the game. I'm certainly glad I picked it up; It's a jewel. Fun fun fun! I'll have to try and sneak into a guard post and scorch a couple of guards with that flamethrower. I just unlocked it. :D

I thought it was already out... I remember seeing something about it on PSN a couple of days ago.

The ONLY reason I'd consider purchasing a PS3 slim is IF it's PS2 BC.

The other day I was at my local Gamestop and I was scanning the PS3 section looking for something to occupy me until Arkham Asylum drops on the 25th. I then realized that I'm a picky gamer, but that aside I just couldn't seem to find anything that suited my tastes. Then as I'm getting ready to leave I notice a game I'd overlooked probably a dozen times; Far Cry 2. Understand something though... I'm not much for FPS games. The FPS trend has been quite an annoyance, but ANYWAYS! I scanned through the manual, and scanned the back of the box. For $24.99 used I figured what the hell and picked it up. Figured if I didn't like it I could return it within 7 days and get something else. So I brought it home and started playing, and I have to say that I'm QUITE impressed by this totally under rated game. I did do some research and there were some gaming communities that praised FC2, and others that utterly despised it. I don't base my opinion on reviews though, but I was shocked at the number of people that hate this game.

So this aside I was curious about everyone else' opinion of the game and was wondering if anyone still played online.

FC2 reminds me of a more realistic Half-Life game. Just throwin' that out there. So please share your thoughts on the game. One thing that was a recurring issue in the reviews I read and I have to agree to a certain degree is that the story feels a little tact on, and is weak. Anyways... thoughts?

I've played the demo multiple times and I LOVE it! It's gets better with each playthrough because it never plays the same. It's a highly polished game, although I did notice that the graphics are a little choppy. That's not even an issue though. Pre-ordered and paid for. I can't wait to play the Joker Challenge Maps.

Someone told me there's a firmware update coming to address this issue. I'm not sure if the source is credible, but it's a nice thought if for nothing more.
