Ghost Recon 3DS for $13.99. People have said it's the best 3DS game that's not Mario. Is it really that good?

Coming it iPad too I think. its a lot of fun- probably best game on 3DS lol

Infamous 2 $20 or bust! That's really the only thing I'm interested in picking up.

Ghost Recon is coming to iOS, no need for a 3DS version. Unless the iOS ends up being poop.

GameFly has a deal where you can buy 2 games and get $12 off.

Bebpo · « **Reply #5 on:** November 23, 2011, 01:39:34 PM »

It's iOS, that makes it already poop. Touch controls

When someone can name me some iOS games that play better than their 3DS/DS/PSP/PSN/XBLA/Wii/PS3/X360/PC counterpart, I'll be more flexible on this.

The only iOS games worth a damn from my experience are ones made specifically FOR the iOS.

Also I'd be less hostile toward iphone gaming if you could use a stylus on it. Using your GIANT FINGER TIP is this huge imprecise blob that covers the screen and pushes on a wide area, causing inaccurate controls and lack of visibility.

Maybe iOS gaming is better on the ipad. I dunno, I have no need for a tablet so I don't have one.

pass on it. wait for redesign. you'll end up spending more for the second nub anyway. plus there is only one original game worth playing on it.

for the iOS games, I think anything that isn't real time can be better.

I don't see how plants v zombies on the iphone can be better than playing it on steam with a mouse. And there's no way anything controls better than a mouse/kb for peggle.

I can see how you'd say that, but Ghost Recon isn't exactly an action-heavy game. There wouldn't be any problem with touch controls.

I don't like PvZ because it's just a slow standard tower defense game with a fun theme. But peggle is awesome, so popcap is cool with me.

Bebpo · « **Reply #42 on:** November 24, 2011, 04:42:24 PM »

I guess I should have rephrased that to solely mean iphone, not ipad, since that is the only way I play iOS games. For instance, World of Goo is not better on iphone because the screen is too small and your finger pointer is too large for accuracy.

I agree. That problem is maddening.

I'd jump on this but I still haven't played Civ4 Complete and I've heard Civ4 is the better one.

Battlefield 3 $30 bucks and Batman $25. Annoyed because I bought BF 3 off origin for $60 earlier in the week.

http://store.origin.com/store/ea/home/

Bebpo · « **Reply #48 on:** November 25, 2011, 12:56:55 AM »

Bought both. I really really try to be Steam only to have my PC collection in one place, but there's no way steam achievements, steam friends lists, and having it in your steam games list is worth an additional $25. Eventually when both Batman games are $5 on steam I'll rebuy them down the line to have in the steam collection.

I don't play multiplayer games, I don't really play shooters, I've never played a Battlefield game before, I don't play CoD online. But damn it, the graphics in BF3 are too good to pass up giving the game a shot. Will run through the supposedly mediocre campaign for the visuals and play a few matches for the visuals and get my $30 worth.

iconoclast · « **Reply #49 on:** November 25, 2011, 02:41:04 AM »

Tempted to get Batman. I was waiting for a sale on the PC version, but I didn't think it would come so quickly. Got too many games to play right now, but I don't know if it's going to be <$25 again any time soon. $:-\$

Bebpo · « **Reply #50 on:** November 25, 2011, 03:16:01 AM »

Got in on the $199 PS3 bundle at amazon, so no tax/shipping, just $199 straight for 160gig + 2 games. Phew. Was worried if I'd be able to get one and it really is the best replacement solution since my launch PS3 died last week. It's too bad the Ratchet All-4-One demo was pretty sucky, since I like Ratchet and it'd be nice to get a game I'd actually play (already own LBP2 so giving it away).

It's kind of funny since last November my X360 died and I got a replacement X360S during BF from Amazon as well.

Hope this is the last year in a row I need to replace my systems with BF ones!

Human Snorenado · « **Reply #51 on:** November 25, 2011, 03:30:54 AM »

Really tempted to pull the trigger on Batman, but I'm no where near done w/ Skyrim and by the time I am there will be dlc out for it. Being older and savoring games more is pretty dope, I'll get Batman eventually.

demi · « **Reply #52 on:** November 25, 2011, 03:33:55 AM »

I bought:

- Metal Gear Collection $30 (Newegg)
- Metroid Other M $5 (Best Buy)
- iPod Touch 32GB $300 w/ $50 GC (Toys R Us)

Nothing else I want... might try GameStop in the morning and check their Gamecube games out. And a retro store here is doing $1 strategy guides, maybe I can cherry pick some RPG books.

Maybe Rayman Origins? Not really feeling it, I'm sure it will drop quick.

Bebpo · « **Reply #53 on:** November 25, 2011, 03:57:08 AM »

I bought Rayman, I'm not sure why, $40 wasn't a great deal. But I really like the art and wouldn't mind supporting Ancel. Then again I hate supporting Ubisoft. Oh well.

cool breeze · « **Reply #54 on:** November 25, 2011, 07:02:21 AM »

I saw Shadows of the Damned for $20 on EA/Origin and was about to buy it, but shipping brought it up to $27. There wasn't a second game I wanted to give it free shipping. Amazon has spoiled me.

Man, that $199 PS3 bundle is sold out everywhere

I was thinking the LBP2 and Ratchet pack-ins were just the standard holiday bundle, but apparently not, the only PS3s available are just the straight 160GB with no games for $250
