"I walked into Best Buy today to buy some things and they had written on a computer paper next to the PS3's that you can choose to either get an extra controller, Heavenly Sword, or Lair free with purchase of the 60 GB model! I almost picked one up. Plus, if you are a reward zone member (free to join) you get $10 back in reward zone points ($500, every $250 you spend you get $5 reward zone certificate)."

I got my ps3 in the last 30 days, so I'm eligible for an price match guarantee, so I got it.

Made it thru the first 2 stages of Futurama before i had to give over the TV.

Started Marvel Trading Card Game

Went thru the rediculously long tutorial just incase it was different from any of the other TCGs i have played and was dismayed to find out that i wasted 30+ mins reading things i could have found out much faster by just playing.

Also i picked Villians. Which means i will have to play back thru it as Heros

We had 10 players for Halo 3 offline multiplayer last night at Ron Mexico's place.

We hooked up 3 TVs and the 360s to a router and played Slayer, Rocketball, Infection, King of the Hill, and a couple of my Forge Map and Game variants.

It was a blast!

I just got Lair...FOR FREE!

You paid too much.

Not overly thrilled with Futurama.

If it wasn't Futurama i probably would think it is worse than it actually is.
Whats more likely is that because it is Futurama i am giving it more credit than it deserves.

Camera sucks. Very limited control. There is actually a surprizing amount of interactivity with items/the level(though i am still very early in), so far it has aweful weapons control also (aiming, selecting targets, etc)

Probably going to go back to my DS for more MArvel TCG action


EDIT
OPened up a guide to see others views on the game. The level i am pissed off at is apparently the hardest stage(only the second one).
Due entirely to the jumping that must be done. Shooting the baddies and finding the stuff is easy.

It's a game based on a TV show. You should be disappointed.

Lair=most underrated game of this generation. No shit. That game is actually really good. I'm sure most of the critics on internet have never played the game and are just mindless sheep that jumped on the Lair hate bandwagon. I have no problems with the controls or flying the dragon, and it is just so much fun to burn shit up with this giant dragon. Not to mention the story surrounding the game is just epic.

Mark my words. If Lair was on the Wii, it would be praised as the killer app for the system and receive game of the year awards left and right.

Though I did have to laugh at the training mission. Flying through rings...Superman 64.

Replaying some GTA: San Andreas. Besides the fact that my X button doesn't work well and that game can be glitchy as hell, I'm having a good time.

Almost finished with the first set of missions, and I can't wait to do Big Smoke's train mission. It's about 90% luck and 10% ridding the motorcycle correctly. His shooting is bad.

I got passed the shitty stage by deciding not to try for 100 percent.
The downside is i'll have to play it again not because of the money i missed but the Nibbler which when you get all of them gives you an unloackable :-/

Beat the first matrch of Marvel TCG.
Thought this was awesome:
"In total, there are 852 individual cards"
Bitchen. I can fun my need to spend thousands and thousands of doallars on a TCG without having to do it

The way the game handles is very unique compared to normal TCGs. You and your opponant share a turn.

Look it up on Wiki if your interested in more. The game is the counter part to the much larger actual TCG i am glad i never ever got into.(for monetary reasons only of course)

Wasn't feeling very good yesterday so the wife decided she would play games with me all day. This doesn't happen very often.

I've been playing alot of Tetris DS and Burnout 3 on PS2

Both are excellent choices.

Yesterday: played more skate and Lair.

[Alx]

Beat Elder Wyrm in Final Fantasy XII.

I'm probably gonna buy Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty (again) since I sold my copy way back when.

[The Metamorphosing Leon]

Lots of drama faggotry in my WoW guild.

Probably gonna fall apart and reform with the core members.

Fine by me, I hate all the newfags.

[Tynstar]

Uno on the 360 and I started Prey on the 360.

So far so good with Prey. Very strange walking on walls and the ceiling but very cool. Seems easy to get lost.
