Madden, I love that game. I usually upgrade each year but Madden 11 is too 'new user' friendly imo as the cpu picks your plays for you and at times is'nt the smartest. I'll probably get it at Christmas from some family member though.
Trade in games is a big money racket mate, even ARGOS do it now , but the big money goes to the shops as the makers get nothing, we get a naff price for our games and then they're sold on at up to 3 times the price.
The big games companies are trying to fight back by making DLC for first time owners free , any second owners dont get it unless they pay, Mafia 2 was an example of this , plus they're thinking of charging 2nd or 3rd time game owners online fees.
A certain publisher of a AAA war FPS game with massive online features was ready to do this but then 'chickened out' after internet flack.
It just take's one company to start charging though to kick it off. |
Don't like the sound of all that Vipco, then again, I haven't bought a pre-owned game for a long time now. In fact, I've only bought two pre-owned games for the 360 so far. Those were
Rockstar Table Tennis, and
Clive Barkers Jericho. It will be £100 a game before long, it's becoming a joke to be honest. I'm getting tired of being ripped off from all sides...
I think I own
Madden 04 &
06 on the Xbox. I wish I could play them. Might give them another try soon.
Gears Of War 3 is due out after Christmas. Really looking forward to that. I wonder where the Locust Queen has been hiding then? And we should get to meet Marcus Fenix's Father this time too. The first two games were extremely entertaining, two of my favourite games on the 360 to date.
Fallout: New Vegas is on the way shortly as well...
I'm hooked on the song
"Compass: Red Dead on Arrival" from the
Red Dead Redemption soundtrack at the moment. The toughest part of the game for me, was unlocking the
Reyes Rebels outfit, by beating all Mexican opponents at a game of
five finger fillet. Truly frustrating, did it in the end though. Must of lost two stone in sweat trying to win that. So, where do you reckon the next
GTA will be set then? There's a good chance that it will be set in
Vice City. Just a guess. Will miss
Niko Bellic though...
