New Games And Why I Hate GameStop

I finally picked picked up the Eye of Judgment today. And let me tell you that sure was a feat! First off, I reserved the game months ago and when it came to launch day I went down to GameStop to check up on things. First thing they told me was they weren't going to get it. I was like "I reserved this months ago! You could have told me sooner your weren't going to get it." So they double checked and then told me they weren't going to get it until Halloween. So I said that was fine and that I would pick it up Thursday because I work on Wednesdays. And the stupid jerk told me that they couldn't guarentee that I got it since I wasn't picking it up right away. I'm the one that reserved it! I'm the one that paid for it in full! I'm the one who wants the stupid game!!! I was totally ticked at them. Well, I got a call theon Wednesdaytelling me that it was ready to be picked up today (Thursday). So I go down there to get it and the first thing the guy says, "You know this game sucks. You should really get a 360, it's a much better console." And then he goes on about how all the reviews are really low. So ok, yeah this game won't win any major awards or anything but it's really fun and unique. It's not for everyone, heck it's a card battle game, but it doesn't mean it's completely lousy. Also, most of the reviews have been around 8/10 or so. ARGH!!!!!!! I hate GameSpot!!! They seriously must be related to GameSpot considering they have the PS3 so much! But every single time I've gone in there to pick up games, PS2 or PS3, they always tell me how sucky they are and how I should get a 360. Oh, and here's the kicker, they told me that they aren't going to carry any cards for EOJ, so now I gotta find a new place to buy them!!! Whycarry the stinkin' game if you aren't going to provide the cards to actually play it!!!! GRRRH!!!

So, with that, I ended up buying two other games at FYE, lol. I really like the people over there, we're all on first name basis too, but the problem is that they don't carry that many games. Since they are sort of a general media store, they have a tendency to be weak on the games. But I ended up getting Skate which I really loved the demo for and Oblivion GotY which I had to get because I so love that game. So, unfortunately I probably won't be getting anymore games at launch date because 1. They never come up here on time anyway. 2. I'm never, ever, ever setting inside another GameStop. and 3. Even if I buy online, it still takes like two weeks to get up here.

Anyway, I'll let you know more about EOJ and R&C when I've played them a bit more.
