that's sort of humiliating.

InfectedDK5378d ago

Yeah thought that too.. Well overpricing nowadays is getting outta hand..

MGRogue20175378d ago (Edited 5378d ago )

That is.. For lack of a better word.. Hilarious.

The guy got quite a bargain, I'll give him that much! Lucky Bastard xD

Fair play though, He got there first lol

pixelsword5378d ago

I'm sure that some back-alley deal was struck before these two parties ever met in the flesh to lower the cost of the transfer to keep the maximum amount of employees at the office; especially since it was like they said a "management buyout". The management are the ones every should/shouldn't feel sorry for.

Ranking every game with Vin Diesel from worst to best

From Xfire: "Video game enthusiast and Hollywood superstar, Vin Diesel, has taken his talents to video games numerous times. We've decided to rank all of his games from the worst to the best."

“Ranking every game with Vin Diesel from terrible to bad”

Fixed the title for you.

Venoxn4g1030d ago

Yes it is..such a great game

bunt-custardly1030d ago

Obviously too young or ill-informed to pass judgement. Honestly, Orchard. You just mugged yourself off. Starbreeze Studios' The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay is a very well-known classic.

rlow11030d ago

Butcher Bay was great. From the prolog, fist fighting, knife fights and story. The immersion of the whole package really uped the criteria of what a cutting edge game was back then. I would like another adventure with Riddick, but it would have to be triple A status to live up to Butcher Bay.

shaenoide1030d ago

You can't you. There isn't any good game :p

boing11030d ago

Butcher's Bay, man. A classic. One of the few games I finished in one sitting.

MenStuff: "OK, it’s hard to actually recommend many celebrity-endorsed games. They don’t exactly live up to the triple-A standard as some of the big blockbuster movies the actors star in, but there are a few that made for a fun adventure and deserve a shout-out."

I'd like to see another Tenchu, I miss that series

Lord_Sloth3855d ago

COMPLETELY agree. Got a 360 just for Z.

Krimmson3855d ago

Remember everyone, Sega thought it was a better idea to invest in Aliens: Colonial Marines than Shenmue 3.

ScubbaSteve3855d ago (Edited 3855d ago )

I never played the Shenmue games, but I've always wanted another Valkeria Chronicles on a main console. So I'd be happy to lend you all my pitchfork when you rise up against Sega.

Lord_Sloth3855d ago

And accidentally invest in Borderlands 1 and 2 at the same time. XXXD

Sam Fisher3855d ago
