Ditto. And the dialogue was just so over the top that it got to be enjoyable after a brief "Wait, is that seriously what we're going with?" period of adjustment.

Oh, cool, Bulletstorm uses and requires Games for Windows LIVE! I fucking love GFWL!
Great April Fools joke, guys, well played.
Another vote for the Neverwinter Nights 2 campaign. I really enjoyed it. And thats coming from someone who gave up on NWN 1 campaign very quickly.
NWN2 belongs in the Baldurs Gate->NWN2->Dragon Age:Origins linage. Although I admit its not as good as either of those stellar games, its still damn good.
Amazon has a sale on THQ games, mostly DOW2 DLC, but Space Marine is down to $10.
Impulse has Amalur for $40, and Mass effect 3 for $50.

I actually prefer it slightly to DA:O. Act I is definitely a slog (and it's understandable why many people never make it through it) but Acts 2 and 3 are pretty awesome. DA:O doesn't have anything as good as the trial and the stronghold stuff.
Nwn2 mask of the betrayer is even better than nwn2 as well, in my opinion.
Sorry.:( Mine is actually not an issue anymore so I forgot the obligatory warning.
This NWN2 talk makes me think I should play that next instead of Icewind Dale. That's because there's always a chance IWD will get the Baldur's Gate Enhanced Edition treatment, so waiting would be smart.
Regardless, I'm about ready for a top-down party-based RPG. I have to ration those carefully with all the first- and third-person RPGs out there.
Target has preorders of Diablo 3 for $60 with a $20 Target card. I'm thinking that $40 is the cheapest it is going to be for at least a couple of years.
Is there a link for that Target deal? I go to Target and am not seeing it.
It's in the weekly ad. Physical copy.
Since I already have GFWL (piss be upon it) $5.00 is the price I've been waiting for, for Bulletstorm. Fun game.
I looked at the add. Are you sure it is a $20 Target card for just buying Diablo? My local ad says $20 Target card if you buy Modern Warfare 3 and preorder Diablo.
Or you could try the IWD mod for NWN 2 I mentioned like 20 posts ago. :-)
I thought about it, but I'd like it to be slightly old school for nostalgia.
I played this mod when they only had the first chapter and it was outstanding. Now that they have the full campaign I will definately give this another look!
The Samsung 830 SSD Desktop kit is down to $309 at Newegg. It was $379 yesterday. I just bought one, so expect some questions in the hardware forum soon!

If I knew how much I'd enjoy Bulletstorm I'd have gotten it sooner.
I got it and played it this weekend. It really was a great single player game. The only real complaint I had was the ending of the game, which seems to be a typical problem of FPS games these days. The devs didn't know how to end it and just threw a bunch of BS stuff at you over and over. Not just ridiculous encounters, but timed runs and several "fake" endings.
I did love the sense of humor and the rest of the game. Ill be interested in playing bullet storm 2 if and when that is made. I just wish the co-op multi-player had a story mode. All it turned out to be was a team survival match where you just take one waves of bad guys.
In a bizarre pairing, GamersGate has put the Serious Sam games and the Patrician games on sale. Serious Sam 3 is $16, Patrician 4 Gold is $7.50.
I liked the ending personally, but it did push a hoped for sequel a bit more than i like endings too.
This one is a little trickier, but if you have a Best Buy Reward Zone account (which isfree), you can use a coupon in March's @Gamer magazine to get Final Fantasy XIII-2 for $15, and Arkham City for $10.
The magazine is $5, though - so add that into your calculation.
Do I need to purchase the magazine twice for both games?
Nope - they are separate coupons in the magazine. There are some other coupons in there as well, but nothing really noteworthy IMHO.
Playing through NWN2 now in co-op and I agree the beginning is a bit of a drag but once we got to the city of Neverwinter, we felt like it picked up a lot. Almost done with chapter 1 now.
FEAR 3 for $7.68 on Greenman Gaming. Steamworks (it really does).
So this is Best Buy's official gaming magazine...do they sell these individually in newstands or in their stores? Or is it sub only?
Gamersgate is selling Hegemony Gold for $15, possibly to compete with Steam now carrying the game.
Blur is $5 on Steam today. I have it. It's fun for a little while. MP was dead the last time I played.
