I'm too poor to afford any of this, despite also being busy! What say you to that, Mr. Wizard?

rrquinta4930d ago

Well, I know you can get Dante's Inferno for $20 or less new right now, same with Darksiders - Lost Planet 2 can also be found pretty inexpensively. Along with Alan Wake. Esp with Black Friday coming up, you might be lucky enough to find some of these for even less than $20 - which isn't bad, esp if you re-sell them when you're done. ;)

K-Tuck4930d ago

Time is money -- I can save you both.

theherp804930d ago

darksiders is a must play for sure

TheLiztress4930d ago

This list is helpful as I've been wondering what to get my boyfriend for Christmas. I hate to tell him that seeing me and the kids happy when we open our presents isn't going to work.

Ahasverus4930d ago

Get him Alan Wake Darksiders and Castlevania, those three games are a-w-e-s-o-m-e!

Drachaus4930d ago

I second Castlevania. That game was incredible!

rrquinta4930d ago

Really? Because the trailers had me going: "OH MY THIS IS A MUST PLAY" but the demo had me saying: "hmmm maybe not..." I will have to give it a try then! I'm playing Enslaved right now and really enjoying it so far.

tigresa4930d ago

Enslaved does look better. The demo was lots of fun... Castlevania's good, but very God of War for a Castlevania game which might be offputting to a big 'vania fan. ;3

Ahasverus4930d ago

Castlevania is a MUST BUY Enslaved is NOT Better (Metacritc agrees, 85>80) and it has the best multiplatfform graphics yet. A really epic adventure, with few, few rough edges (as tricky controls, they are not as you think they are but it's our fault, we play all the games the same way) but totally worth it ;)

Kind of a goody story...

On a serious note, that is why I try activating gift cards asap. It's happened to me where the store didnt scan it right where the card was unusuable. Happened at Wally World.

gigoran834d ago

wait, that place is real? national lampoon wasn't kidding?

Tacoboto33d ago

I just bought two of the MonsterVerse Godzilla movies on 4K - both had digital copies expiring in 2023. Both were actually expired.

I'd be surprised but it's WB, of course they'd actually expire them

Knightofelemia34d ago

Usually most of those redemption card have an expiry date on them. If they expired all buyer did was buy recycled paper. And some of those codes are country locked to certain countries. I buy a card from the States I can't use it in Canada.

Chocoburger34d ago

Dumb and silly story. She wasted her money for no reason.

Is it really that hard to go to Steam or GOG. She spent $240, when its currently 70% off on GOG, and only costs $4.49.

Gee, I wonder, should I spend $240 on eBay, or $4.49 on GOG? 🙄

Rynxie34d ago

Most likely she wanted to resell a few or most of them. However, it was a too good to be true situation.

Profchaos34d ago

So in short she paid $240.00 assuming usd for a bunch on unactivated game codes.

I still don't understand why I guess cause there's not a physical version and she wanted something for a collection or art project.

Rynxie34d ago

No, most likely to resell. However, she ended up getting screwed.

Asplundh34d ago

This is Alan Wake 1, it had physical copies.

A thermos is upending the Alan Wake community

Remedy has Alan Wake merch on sale, including a pretty blue thermos. Unfortunately, things haven’t gone according to plan, and many players who want a thermos find themselves without one, though it does appear that Remedy is attempting to fix things. Nevertheless, it has resulted in a lot of upset, illustrating just how much the thermos means to Alan Wake fans.
