Gamers unite -HQ

[Барбоса]

I had to get mine off eBay. Those mine cart riding sections were surprisingly difficult.

I was playing the first mine cart level last night

 

[Lee]

What did Satoru Claus bring you this year?

 

[Uncle Sam]

Fuck all games. Pissed off.

 

[Lee]

I'll be getting DK with my gift card or may keep it to go towards the 3DS

 

[Uncle Sam]

Dara O'Briain is winning my annual Christmas Day comedy battle, thanks largely to a bit he does on gaming. He even does a bit on "Snake? Snake!? SNAAAAAAAAAKE!?"

 

[Lee]

Oh I've seen him do that skit a few times

 

[The Doctor]

I got LittleBigPlanet, GOTY edition. Comes with a lot of DLC already purchased - including the Metal Gear Solid level and costume pack.

 

[Барбоса]

Dara might have never seen a snake before - got St Patrick to thank for that

No games for me either but got a charger for my wiimotes and some cash that will go towards Napoleon Total War and perhaps Donkey Kong Country Returns or Goldeneye

 

[Lee]

goldeneye's £17.99 on amazon

 

[Барбоса]

As is Epic Mickey

 

[Барбоса]

Went mad online and instead of Donkey Kong Country Returns, I ended up with Epic Mickey, Fifa 11, Goldeneye, Red Steel 2 and a Motion Plus

 

[Lee]

I was tempted by that red steel motion plus offer too

 

[Барбоса]

I still haven't finished Red Steel

 

[Lee]

Red Steel is one of only two games I've tried to take back. Absolutely terrible controls.

 

[Барбоса]

Never taken a game back but have traded in games less than a week after buying them as they have been crap - Turok 64 was one (talk about a bad control system - total garbage) and Smackdown vs RAW 2008 was the other as it had little or no replay value due to the lack of a career mode

 

[Lee]

The other was sonic and the secret rings, both ended up being traded in for store credit.

 

[Барбоса]

I still have yet to play No More Heroes and Mad World that I bought nearly a month ago

 

[Lee]

Same, same. I'm waiting my wii lens cleaner from amazon to arrive as some disks have been jumpy.

 

[Барбоса]

And I think finishing Red Steel and starting Mad World/No More Heroes will be further relegated on the list of "2 play" games with the imminent arrival of Mickey and Bond

 

[Uncle Sam]

Hoping Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood will drop in price. Somebody got me £20 in WHSmith's vouchers. Are you fucking kidding me? I'm still crossing my fingers that WHS'll drop like Woolworth's. Shitty shop.

 

[Lee]

WHSMith is terribly expensive.

 

[Uncle Sam]

Not to mention terribly terrible.

 

[Lee]

When they have their "sale" it's still more expensive than any other place (aside from Game!)

 

[Барбоса]

Yeah, I found GAME to be cancerously overpriced; even their website.

hmv.com on the other hand was as cheap as Amazon

 

[Lee]

They are on their site, not in store.

Game piss me off, the week before Christmas they added £7-8 on all RRPs of games. Ridiculous.
