So since I'm on Gamefly now I thought that every time I receive new games from my Que I'd give you all some impressions on what I think. I'm sure it won't interest many of you but I do love writing these blogs so maybe I'm just doing this out of a need to write this stuff down. Who knows!
The very first two games I received from Gamefly were Mirror's Edge and Far Cry 2. Both came sort of unexpectedly since they were both around the middle of my game que and others before it had high availability. Here are my impressions.
Mirror's Edge was fantastic. I ended up liking it a lot more than I thought I would. The story was pretty good. It was nothing groundbreaking or fantastic but it did keep fairly interested as the game went on. The controls did take getting some used to but once I mastered them the game became pure fun. It was very short and I actually ended up beating it the day I got it in the mail but only because I couldn't stop playing it. I highly recommend it for anyone looking for something new.
Far Cry 2 is, well very very meh. I can't get into it all. The game look unappealing, it's tedious having to drive everywhere, the gunplay is weak, it takes too many shots to kill a guy, and when I shoot someone I don't feel like I'm doing anything and then just fall over dead. So yeah, I don't like Far Cry 2.....at all really. I'm probably done with it by now.
I've already shipped Mirror's Edge back to Gamefly and I have Wolverine at the top of my game que on what to send next. But judging from what happened last time who knows what they'll send next. But here's hoping it's Wolverine or Ghostbusters.

"Available" is 99%.
Medium is about 20%.
Low is about 5%.
Remember the status can suddenly change one day from the next.
Let's say you want a new release that will be highly desired on many ques (like Batman AA will be) - the trick is to get that game on the day the it releases - It can be done. I'll explain one day buy not here. There are a couple of methods - one of which gives you a 95% chance of getting that game in very high demand. It's not illegal or immoral or anything like that either.
