OOG5021d ago (Edited 5021d ago )

Um no.. I was just saying it cuz its a $150 crappy bundle... I just think people are crazy to buy the bundle..

Im still buying the game myself... but id never spend $150 on a game bundle that gives me crappy toys.

Was another great show, I listened while editing my own sites Retro Hardware Review, it was just long enough for me to finish up my post. rotfl

It's best that HHG goes and does his own thing, if he's not willing to compromise on someone's site. I do see HHG's point as well, that's why I have my own site. My site my rules "Good or Bad". So in the end everyone has to grow, fall and succeed on his/her own merits.

PS3PWNSALL5021d ago

Good points you made there! It will be interesting to see how Torrence/Thebitbag and Hiphopgamer fare as completely separate entities.

DA_SHREDDER5021d ago

I dont see how HHG thinks EA is the best publisher in the biz? I think they perform well when it comes to variety, they have alot of quality too. But I think Sony is leaps and bounds ahead of any publisher/developer out. If anything EA has always limited their devs to make that quick dollar, which is why they have more variety. But remember, quantity doesn't equal quality. Nothing can touch MLB the Show, GOW, Uncharted, Motorstorm, GT, LBP, MAG, downloadable titles, graphics. Okay, So EA has Deadspace, one of my favorite titles ever, but Visceral is only like one of their devs. And no, Im not impressed with Epic or Bioware.

pixelsword5021d ago (Edited 5021d ago )

@ shredder:

I wouldn't say that Sony's the best publisher for a few reasons:

1. obviously, like Microsoft, almost anything from Sony will be exclusive to the console they produce.

2. it seems like Sony will leave you hanging to twist in the wind. Free Radical, Factor 5, and Ninja Theory all almost went bankrupt making exclusive games for Sony but with no obvious support from Sony. I also think that Insomniac saw the light as well and went semi-multiplatform. Epic's doing the same thing with Microsoft, except they're closing the story arc with the Gears Franchise, and I believe they're going to continue it going multiplatform under a different name or at least with different characters.

And yes, I know exclusive games bombed on the 360 or at least didn't do as well as promised (Too Human and Fable II comes to mind), but despite the lowered realization of the games, none of those companies went bankrupt or had to close any studios that I am aware of. Granted, Microsoft lost almost all of their internal studios, but I am talking about in terms of 3rd party studios.... heh, maybe I should've said that first.

Unless you're Rush Limbaugh, the absolute max a show should be is 1 hour. They can keep the same format, but cut the audio down from 3 hours to 15 minutes of highlights.

mac4u105021d ago

Yep 3 hours is way to long, i had to keep skipping some parts.

OOG5021d ago

Yeah it can be long... most people I know that listen will listen to the sections they are interested in.. or pieces over the rest of the week... its hard to listen to something that long in 1 sitting.

PS3PWNSALL5021d ago

tordavis is the Rush Limbaugh of video games. Even has the size. I listen to an hour a day. By wednesday the show will be done for me. Not bad to do it that way actually.

-Judge_Fudge5021d ago (Edited 5021d ago )

i cant watch this its too long and i have to get back to being delicious

Top 10 Rarest Xbox 360 Games That Are Worth a Fortune

Twinfinite: “War may never change, but the prices of rare games do!”

"And lastly, famous Boston Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling helped to create the action-RPG’s setting. What’s really fascinating, though, is that the game was partially financed by taxpayers from Rhode Island (which allegedly lost the state millions of dollars). Yikes!"

1. Now infamous Schilling
2. No allegedly, it did. And they couldn't pay it back.
3. What really lost the money wasn't the SP release but the MMO they were working on. This was supposed to be an introduction into the MMO world.

Soy293d ago

I hate counting limited editions for these lists. I mean, they're made to be rare and expensive. It's far more interesting to hear about the NCAAs (even if most people know that one already) and the El Chavos than some massive hit that came with a $200 statue at retail.

gamerz293d ago

Me too. Here's the best I can do:

El Chavo Kart $90.14
NCAA Football 14 $87.72
Spiderman: Edge of Time $75.94
Spiderman Web of Shadows $75.09
Spiderman: Shattered Dimensions $67.76

Christopher292d ago

Wow, El Chavo Kart is not at all what I expected by the name. 100% looks like a Sackboy Kart game.

Soy292d ago

It's so odd that so many Spider-Man games are seemingly given lower print runs, even if they're not the best games.

jznrpg293d ago (Edited 293d ago )

Most Xbox games don’t hold as much value compared to other systems. Kameo, Blue Dragon, Last Remnant , and a handful or 2 of other games that I kept.

sadraiden293d ago

Fallout 3 and Bioshock Infinite are the rarest games of all time.
