yeah no, don't get sonic the hedgehog. It's scary bad.

Like... you think, oh it's bad, but it can't be that bad, then like you have walked into a dark alley way, and some large man grabs you and says "one way or another it's going to happen". It's that kind of bad.

They never discount hardware.

I like Scene It, if you're into movies it's great. Much better than Buzz The Hollywood Quiz.

Overall Buzz is probably more fun since it's got general knowledge stuff. But for $60 it's quite good.

no its boring shit

it looks awesome, i dont mind the story+characters but the gameplay is fun for about 2hrs. Then you realise that there's only 3 enemy types with different colours and the battle system is mash x for as long as possible then hit Y at the last second.

I did the same thing. $40 for Uncharted is a killer deal.

Yeah, it was. I posted in the suggestions thread that there were too many sticky threads and perhaps a couple should be merged such as the affiliates and bargains one since they all help one another with sales, bargains and helping the forums but perhaps the person who unsitckied didnt know, or doenst have the power to merge?
