talked about it a few pages back. Comes out in 2 weeks. Can't wait.

I'm going to have to see some Alan Wake review videos before I jump on board for it. It's a high minded concept that's taken FOREVER to actually get released. Seems like those kinds of games have a poor track record. I want to see actual gameplay.

I was skeptical too, but the pre release buzz has been outstanding and Remedy has a great track record. Plus, the Twin Peaks/Lost/The X-Files vibe sounds awesome. I read it started out as an open world game, but it wasn't working so they made it more linear to maintain intensity.

All Game Crazy locations are now closing. Many have started liquidating, the rest will start within the next 2 weeks.

That being said, Gamestop & Amazon are slashing prices like crazy. K-Mart has a TON of great deals starting today. Good stuff all around.

Someone threw a perfect game on MLB2k10 and got the $1 million.

I could have sworn this contest was for THE SHOW though.

Kind of funny that they hyped this contest for 2 months after someone had won it, and just now announced it. It's not surprising, I tossed a 2-hitter my second time ever playing the game.
