I can't speak to what GameWinners says. It's possible they are referring to online pricing and availability. I see the Naruto Ninja Council 4 but not the Bleach one at Best Buy. It's available at one of my local stores but not the other. In the future you can go to the Best Buy web site you can check to see if the game you want is at your local store by going to the title on the site and clicking on "Select preferred store availability" and putting in your Zip Code It will give you a list of all the stores in your area and tell you if the title is there or not. It's great if your looking for a specific movie or game and don't want to have to drive around hunting for it.
I can tell you that Best Buy regularly has buy two value priced pc titles for 9.99 or less and get one free so it works out to 6.66 each and I have seen clearance sales at PARTICIPATING Best Buy's with games for 2 to 20 dollars that are generally not advertised and the employees will not be aware of them. There will usually be a huge list of games and none of the stores will have more then a few if any of them. That's why it's called a closeout or clearance sale. The price cuts are meant to devalue the inventory before it is dumped at a loss or thrown away. Most likely what your describing about the cheep games is one of those closeouts.
I watch them the first time through for sure. It really sucks when you can skip them and your watching it for the umpteenth time. I agree it would be nice to replay or pause them but most games don't let you because of the way cut scenes are rendered. They are usually a CGI video that is not encoded with pause stop and so on.
With some of the problems that are present in many games I don't think would be very smart for me to go *****ing about cut scenes too developers and take their focus off more important things. I would rather you make sure my guys arm doesn't get stuck in a wall before you add a pause button to movie of him chatting about the zombie that is about to waste him because his arm is stuck in the wall. LOL
Yeah that's 500+ bucks worth of games not including tax depending on how good a shopper you are.
I would say just get one or two of the 360 games and collect the DS titles first. The 360 games are much more likely to be available for less down the road and easier to find later on. I notice that sometimes DS titles can get hard to find after they have been out a while.
To be honest I'm kinda stocked up for games (PC) because I went on a bit of a buying binge anticipating that some titles will start to get difficult to find by next year what with vista and all. I have 7 or 8 games still in the box so that should hold me over till it's time for a new computer. I only have a few left that I want but do not already have for XP.
I'm going to agree with most people and say the new G5 with the extra button. It has some VERY cool stuff. Adjustable weights that are way useful for fine tuning the feel. You can adjust the DPI on the fly in games from a button on the mouse. So for example, in a FPS you can have it set high while your running around so you can whip around real fast and then click down for pin point sniping. I just wish they had a Lefty version but I got used to it and it rocks.
You pretty much can't play Star Trek Legacy for PC without it. The PC control set up for that game is horrible and can't be re-mapped. As other's have stated pretty much any game that is ported from the 360 is going to be set up for it.
I didn't catch that particular episode but there is tons of stuff on that show that could be / has been, incorporated into video games. Hopefully not going too far off the topic of incorporating things from that show into video games.... I seriously think that they should have gotten the host Richard Machowicz to play Agent 47 in the upcoming Hitman movie based on the game. He looks so much more like the character than Timothy Olyphant not to mention that Mac he is a real life bad *** and not just a pretend one.
