CGPodcast March 02 2012

In what has now been dubbed the apology-cast, the usual group + 1 tries to recapture the intensity of the lost episode. In news, we have a heated discussion on law suits involving Justin Bieber (with Wayne needing to point out Justin's now 'legal' age), how an Italian assassin turned into a native American in the just announced Assassin's Creed game, Blizzard laying off 600, and a whole lot more. Wayne keeps the intensity high and gets way too excited over Azura's Wrath (already having had this discussion last week) in Whatcha' been playing. Brendan shows his love for the Syndicate, and Tim wraps his head around writing a review for a game about a writer in Alan Wake: American Nightmare.

A Late Look: Alan Wake

VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "All in all, it’s not hard to see why Alan Wake has received a bit of a cult following (there’s that famous foreshadowing again). It’s a title that blends themes and gameplay, while pushing the limits of storytelling by putting stories within stories and letting you read those stories before you get to that part in… the story. It has flaws, to be sure - the gameplay side can’t quite keep up with the rest of its ambitions - but overall it’s a great game that stands out among its peers and is undeniably… one for the books."

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.

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

People sometimes call Wal-Mart Wally World including myself

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

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.

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? 🙄

Rynxie689d ago

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

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.

Rynxie689d ago

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

Asplundh688d ago

This is Alan Wake 1, it had physical copies.
