Title: What to use a $25 gift card on?... Post by: phoenix1967 on June 20, 2008, 12:45:04 PM I have an old $25 MediaPlay/SamGoody/Suncoast gift card that I found out could be used at an FYE store. Unfortunately, it cannot be used for online purchases.
All 3 games were listed at $49.99 at FYE. If you were me, would you use it for one of these games, or hold onto it in anticipation for a future title? Title: Re: What to use a $25 gift card on?... Post by: two_scoop_steve on June 20, 2008, 09:08:12 PM the orange box all they way.
Title: Re: What to use a $25 gift card on?... Post by: modest9797 on June 22, 2008, 09:24:13 PM I say Assassin's Creed. It is a beutiful game. I absolutly hated COD4 but never played Orange Box.

Call of Duty 4 is incredible that has a short but great story mode, however the multiplayer in COD4 is excellent. There's a whole ranking/leveling up/achievement/unlock system that keeps you coming back to unlock more weapons and abilities. The only complaint I have about COD4 is that the players online can be annoying brats, more so than any other game I've played, and that's on the PS3 version where there aren't as many players and people with headsets. I can only imagine it being FAR WORSE on Xbox Live. Thankfully no one in that game cares to cooperate as a team, so you can safely turn off the voice chat. ;)
The Orange Box is one of my favorite games of last year. You get five kickass games for cheap. I think you should just get it for Portal alone, but that's only a four hour game at max unless you decide to play the advanced levels or go through the game with developer commentary. Half Life 2 and all the episodes are really good as well. From what I've heard, Team Fortress 2 on the 360 is not a very good port. I wouldn't be surprised becuase the PS3 version isn't all that great either. Feels like it would be much better on the PC, but it is still a good deal of fun on the console. I've never played Assassin's Creed, so I can't offer much advice on that one. It does look pretty good though. When it comes down COD4 vs Orange Box, I'd lean more towards The Orange Box since you get so much more bang for the buck. Either way you go you'll get an excellent game, but you just need to decide what kind of game you'd prefer. Title: Re: What to use a $25 gift card on?... Post by: phoenix1967 on June 27, 2008, 11:51:14 AM I ended up getting the Orange Box. It rang up at $29.99. So with my gift card and tax I paid about $6 total. Not a bad deal. 8)

Title: Re: What to use a $25 gift card on?... Post by: imfromwisconsin on July 06, 2008, 10:21:33 AM I saw that you already got your game; but I highly recommend COD4. The storyline is a bit short, but out of the entire series, it really re-imaged COD4 in this round; I hate that they're going back to WWII era in COD5, but hopefully we'll see something different this time around.
Assassin's creed is fun, has amazing visuals & the way the player moves is fantastic, however it gets extremely repetitive. I can't bring myself to finish it and I am on the last guy I have to assassinate. |
