Since 99% of these are names from PS3 games... and since 99% of those are names from the MGS series... I'm gonna throw a wicked curve ball into the thread. Ralgha nar Hhallas from Wing Commander III

As a note, just because the source said "it's not necessarily from R*" doesn't mean that it's NOT from R*. He's just trying to say it could be anything at this point. And on the GTA note, I've seen more than a few people assume that by using that game as an example he/she meant the exclusive game would be GTA-like. Not necessarily. The guy was using San Andreas' timed exclusive announcement to demonstrate how much of an impact the announcement would make, not to demonstrate the kind of game it would be. As for what the game is? Personally I have absolutely no idea. R* is the developer I'd like to see exclusives from the most, be we already have Agent in the pipeline. Perhaps some sort of agreement with LucasArts? That's again more wishful thinking on my part, really. Probably the most likely candidates are developers based in Japan.

Just curious....Do you...

A. Rigorously read reviews prior to purchase.

B. Briefly check one or two ratings prior to purchase.

C. Just buy what looks good to you.

D. Wait till you hear feedback from people you know.

E. Rent first then buy

F. (combination of any of the above)

**I couldnt figure out how to create an actual poll...sorry:oops:

For me, the answer is F. It really depends on the game in question. I rarely preorder games sight unseen, but sometimes the pedigree of a game and it's content/genre is just too much for me to resist... Red Dead Redemption is the latest example of that for me. Others like Just Cause 2 look interesting, but there's plenty of room for failure. That usually leads me to reading reviews and general gamer opinions. Every once in a while I'll rent a game to try it out, or play it at a friend's house if someone owns it. The biggest thing for me, though, is never paying full price. I almost always wait for sales (which happen a lot more often than people think) or coupons/gift cards. RDR should be mine for around $40 with a pair of $10 coupons from Best Buy (unless, of course, Fry's or Walmart or someone advertises a lower price.. then it's price match AND coupons). I paid $40 for GoW3 and $20 for ACII about a week ago, and $35 for The Saboteur a month or two ago... In fact, of all my PS3 games (and I have plenty), I think the only ones I've paid full price for are MLB: The Show 09 and maybe Resistance 2.

Just Cause 2 can be had at KMart for $45 this week. That means you can price match it at BB, which I'm kind of tempted to do considering I have a $10 credit at BB right now...

the only game i can think of is agent but thats made from rockstar

Plus it says right in the link that it is NOT Agent. Also, this isn't necessarily a "GTA type game" in the sense that it's open world or anything. It's like GTA in terms of how big the bombshell will be when it's dropped, though. I'll definitely be interested in hearing the announcements.

Seems like lag is a huge issue with The Show every year, at least right after release. You'd think they'd have it figured out by now.

[QUOTE="normal_gamer"]

I was playing on my PS3 and then I needed to go out so I paused the game and it remained paused for like 25-30 minutes before I came back,would that damage my PS3?

Thanks.

Negative, your PS3 will be fine. Just dont do it for like 6-7 hours like that.

...because if you do your PS3 will explode...

It also might be worth pressing the connection button on the dongle itself a few times. Other than that, maybe make sure the dongle is free of interference?

Just make a squad of people that you can trust or don't plug in your mic.GrandJury
Problem there is the voices will just come over the speakers of your TV instead. You could always just leave the mic on a table, but then you can't actually talk to squad mates.

Red Dead Redemption and Agent are my two biggies. Also interested in Just Cause 2 and LA Noire. GTA5 is too far off to be on anyone's radar.

Oh, and Alpha Protocol. That kind of counts, right?
