GameStop and Best Buy (probably others as well) are taking pre orders for AC3, put $5 down and get a cool aluminum case for it!

I never thought that a game starring different kinds of protists could be this engaging.

Oh, and if Resident Evil and limited bonus stuff are your things, you might want to check out this Japanese premium pack that includes a leather jacket. The price is mind-bending.

Any Total War fans? I just picked a copy of Shogun 2 on the cheap from eBay last night - It's the limited edition version as well! I spent hundreds of hours playing the first Shogun: Total War when I was like ten, can't believe I hadn't picked this up yet.

I also just found out on the weekend that there is a Song of Ice and Fire conversion mod for Medieval 2: Total War. It's only in its alpha stages but it could potentially be awesome.

I just installed this but in order to play, it wants to download an update more than 10GB in size. That's my entire usage capacity for one month for fuck's sake! WTF?

Huh? Flat? As in an apartment? I'm on a laptop and I just use a mobile broadband USB which has a quota of 12GB per month.

Anyway, apparently the update has something to do with the game and DX11. That or on the other hand; I have some people telling me it's the Fall of the Samurai expansion - Which is kind of cool. I mean, I was going to buy that anyway and If I get it for free, that's cool. It is absolutely fucking mindless though that they'd force it on as an update.

I'm about to start Mass Effect 3.

Working at gamestop rules. i've played everything that has come out for the past 8 months and not paid a dime for it.

stoked to get Max Payne 3 monday night as well.


and if you haven't watched the Dishonored trailer yet, you need to do so. It looks like Bethesda has another winner on their hands.

So in lieu of the Shogun 2/Steam debacle, I ordered...

I can play this and Medieval 2 whilst I wait for that 10GB update to download. I still haven't figured out exactly how I am going to download it though, haha.

Been playing a lot of Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike online on Supercade recently. So addictive. Easily the best SF title, followed by SSF2T HD Remix and SSFIV: Arcade Edition.

Alex and Ken for the win!

How is the Street Fighter X TEKKEN game?

I really like it hey. It has a real comical kind of aesthetic and I actually probably enjoy the Tekken characters more in that context (pick the Heihachi and Kuma tag-team. Fucking hilarious). I am a big fan of both the SF and Tekken series though. Street Fighter x Tekken is basically working off of the SF engine. If you're more into Tekken, you'll probably want to wait until Tekken x Street Fighter comes out later in the year - It will be based more on the Tekken engine...

I'm stoked waiting for Tekken Tag Tournament 2 to hit consoles/PC also...

Sound great. Love the SF4 engine but I hate Bandai Namco & Capcom for their fucked up Downloadable content cash cow structure and that is why I'm struggling with the decision to buy it.

Has it been confirmed? I've only heard rumors.

I've been playing Prince of Persia and Super Metroid on SNES.

I wish Rock of Ages (not related to the movie) would be released in Europe already.

yes, it has been comfirmed, BUT , before we know they could be a bunch of fakes saying that. they said it was done one year ago. if it sells really well, we could get a shenmue 3.

ahh, super metroid on the snes is amazing, have you completed it? i remember it being hard as fuck .

are they releasing it in europe? i'm sure if you get a hack you would be able to play it somehow on your pc :D

I have completed Super Metroid many years ago, I just started playing it again. There's actually a ROM hack that's supposed to be even harder, I'm kinda interested in that.

And Rock of Ages will be released in Europe for PS3, but just not sure when. I've thought about creating a US PSN account for instances like this, as some games don't make it here at all.

a rom hack thats ment to be harder? very interesting, if you find it, let me know where to get it. wouldn't mind trying that myself.

you would be better off making a us psn account, they actually get quite alot of different stuff, even the ps1/ps2 collection stuff they get is different to ours and much more.

You can find out more about the Super Metroid hack(s, it seems there are more than one) here and here. I've never played one myself, so I have no idea how to operate them, though.

former 3rd key. there was a "situation" in which after getting verbally abused for about 10 minutes (thanks DVR) and spit on twice I told a customer "get the fuck out of my store before I have you arrested". she cried racism. I also have a criminal record, which they also used against me..so after being a manager for like 7 or 8 weeks, I was demoted back to register jockey..but I have outlasted 7 other 3rd keys, 4 asm's, 3 store managers, on average do double the needed numbers for our district in all categories, bring in other businesses for midnight launches, etc etc etc. I also called my current district manager a nigger for calling me nothing more than a white trash felon who stole 800 out of the register on a black friday years ago. again, my record (which is in the process of being expunged finally) was used against me..I knew who stole the money and it was clearly on DVR, but nothing ever happened to her...it was my fault since I'm a criminal. our DM called me on my own time repeatedly and accused me, so I called him a nigger and told him to never call me again about anything like this unless we were in the store or in an office w/ my lawyer present. I may even tell ya one day who this bullying piece of shit is..he tries to intimidate, berate, and abuse all of his employees..my punishment is like 15 hours a week and no more ever and after 5 years, not even at 10 an hour homey.

that fuckin' sucks dude... yeah we have the worst customers as well. I have a 92% rating from all the surveys from the receipts, as well as #1 in customer service ratings and GPG sales for two straight months, but i've also had three complaints filed against me saying that i'm a dick.

I'm super helpful and nice unless you're a piece of shit parent buying your 8 year old Max Payne 3, an idiot calling me asking how much i'll give you for something or what the exact price will be with tax (i'm not your fucking calculator and you should have paid better attention in school you sack of shit), or, lastly, if you're completely rude to me first. I have great customer service skills, but when you're on your cell phone and tell me to hurry up or you're rude to me when I'm just doing what my job requires of me (i.e. sales pitch for PUR, reserves, & GPGs), I'm gonna give a little back. I can't stand half our customers because they're these poor fucking idiots walking in asking what the cheapest fucking wrestling, basketball, and football games are that we have when their clothes are filthy and it's completely obvious they should be putting their money to better use than buying shit from us in the first place. I wan't to grab them by the ear and walk them to the door and say, "do something to better yourself before you come back" and toss their ass onto the curb. seriously. I deal with complete trash sometimes. doesn't matter what race, creed, or sex.

my biggest pet peeve is when you realize that certain customers are completely taking advantage of the 7 day cash back return policy and just using gamestop as a fucking game library. they spend $50 but then play $1000 worth of games. then i'm told i can report these customers to corporate and they're accounts will be flagged to where they can't return stuff anymore. then when i try to do that, no response from the people who said i could do that in the first place. where's my recourse?

i'm all for getting over on "the man", but when the market my company operates within is down 40% from the year before and it's keeping hours off my paycheck, food from my mouth, and money to pay rent while i peruse my education from my wallet, it becomes more. It's no longer, "the man", it's my fucking livelihood until i'm able to do what i'm going to school for. so for all you assholes out there that do this, go fuck yourself.

I pretty much stopped at X. Ever since the series dropped the free roam world map stuff, I just find it too linear... Loved all the SNES and PS1 titles though.

I never finished X, the battles just bored me to death. VI is my favorite, but I did enjoy XIII more than XII (who in their right mind would think that a 4 hour boss fight would be a good idea, optional or not?). XIII-2 didn't hold my attention for very long.
