GAMES: GameSpot GameFAQs MOVIES: Metacritic Movietome Comic-Con
Monday, Aug 18, 2008

Money is tight over here so I''ve been searching for some deals on ebay the past couple of weeks. I recently won two games, PGR4 for $20 and and Marvel: Ultimate Alliance for $8 both brand new! I'm having a lot of fun with these games. They're worth the retail price.

I also got a couple of arcade games that were... well not so cheap! Braid and Geometry Wars 2.

The music, the art **** and gameplay is amazing! It's a bit pricey, but it was well worth it. Got surround sound? Crank it up with this beautiful soundtrack!

I just bought this game last night with a few drinks in me. Well a lot of drinks in me! But that doesn't make this a bad game! I'm loving it so far. It has a lot more game modes than the first which, well, only had one.

Yep, I got this free reserving Fable 2. That's what I hope everyone is doing because this game is not worth $10! What were they thinking?! If you did reserve Fable 2 and got this game for free it isn't so bad. At first I didn't play in the tournament and my debt became 1,200 gold! I learned my lesson and started playing in the tournaments which brought my debt down to $200 gold. I heard there is a glitch out there for one of the three pub games. I'd rather earn the gold honestly!

I have to say those are some good buys. I think PGR4 is worth retail, great game with a lot of exciting game races. Check out the daily tournaments and the team races, those are probably the best.

I couldn't get into Braid that much. It looks like an innovative game from what I've played but thought the levels were just too quick. I only had the trial though. GW2 is great and the Fable one was alright, I managed to get about 2k in the trial in the spinnertop game.

Strife - Nice, I'm going to check up on those tourneys. Wow, you got more gold than I do and you only have the trial! I am a terrible gambler after all!

I have marvel ultimate alliance, got it free with my 360... never even touched it PGR4 is good, I'm trying to find it cheap

high five! braid and geo wars 2 are amazing. I already got all the puzzle pieces in braid, I didn't cheat either. trust me no matter how tough a puzzle is, don't give in and go look at a FAQ or something, figure it out for yourself, it's so satisfying.

lastly, Fable 2 pub games, I'm with you, who would pay money for this?

Of the five games you mentioned in your blog, I have only played Braid. After a strong recommendation from a friend, I purchased the game and could not put it down until I was 100% done with the game.

All that is left is to attempt the speed run achievement.

I've heard that if you use the glitches in the Fable 2 games you'll be chased by bounty hunters in the real game.

I played Marvel Ultimate Alliance on ps2 with my housemate, to death. It's a lot of fun co-op with someone. I also have it for the x360 with the hero and villian pack. Very cool, although I still need to play thru that version. I have pgr3 and pgr4, I'm working on pgr3 right now with my racing wheel, now that I finished Dirt. Great bargain games, nice! They should keep you busy a while too.

graf - Try it out seriously. It's really fun. I would never cheat in Braid. I know you weren't implying that either. I feel sorry if someone if they cheated through the game for quick achievements.

Carl - The speed run must be tough. Even if I remember the puzzles it must be spot on all the way through!

msudude - lol! That's hilarious if true! The glitchers deserve it!

phoenix - I'm glad you're playing both PGR's and wisely (is that a word?!) playing 3 before 4! I know people who play the later games first! Very annoying!

Some good deals there! My son and I had a lot of fun playing UA on the PS2. Occasionally I play PGR3 on the 360, but most of my time is taken up with GTA4 and The Orange Box

celtic - Both are awesome games! I've played all games on OB through at least three times and I'm willing to go through them again!
