We'll have to see if anyone buys them. If not, you could consider them a lost cause; worthless. They're not making money, have tonnes of stores creating a large expenditure, and a market that is slowly going to the internet for its cheaper gaming needs. GAME may not be worthless, but it will be unless it changes how it manages itself.
It'd definitely break up playing bigger Vita games. Sometimes, you can't just play Uncharted on a 10 minute bus trip.
Well, if stores like GAME and Gamestation disappear, we're left with CEX. It's not yet widespread enough to accomodate everyone, and the other game stores (HMV, Supermarkets) either are too expensive or just don't offer pre-owned games.
If it comes without a disc drive, and backwards compatibility for the 360, I can see a lot of people just sticking with their current gen consoles.
Updated the story: Gamestation York staff have said they've been told to put all stock on sale, further price cuts to come in the next few days.
As far as I'm aware, it's all (or at least most) GAME stores.
We've had people from all over the country confirming the sales are going on, just like moegooner88, the first comment on this post.
I'd suggest if it's easy to get to your local GAME store, go check it out tomorrow!
Not a positive sign at all!
I personally didn't, but of course I had no connection to the Pope or the Italians.
In AC3, it's got a personal touch. But, if Ubisoft manages to make 'Connor' so rich in character and personality that I 'become him', then it'll be of no concern to me. Much like I really liked being Ezio, and didn't just feel like a faceless assassin.
My own most anticipated game is Assassin's Creed III.
The idea of any Pokemon breeding with a ditto; now that's gruesome!
And fainting must be quite the ordeal for Pokemon. Not like humans who faint at the sight of blood or a cute opposite-sex attraction. Humans suck.
Pokemon.
They get burnt, frozen, stuck in earthquakes, poisoned, self-destruct, electric-shocked, physically beaten to a pulp, hit by the mysterious force of a hyper beam, sat on by Pokemon thousands of times bigger than themselves, bitten, scratched and made to live inside a ball; yet the fuckers still won't die.
Pokemon
Let cute little creatures drown, burn, cut and abuse each other until one of them gets knocked out. WINNING
Chobot.

I'm loving the affection for Hogs of War. I spent so, so, SO many hours playing that game.
I even wrote off to Infogrames to let them know I enjoyed their game, and they sent me a guidebook and a nice message back.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who wishes for a sequel.

I tend to go for achievements which don't require going too much out of my way in game. So if I need to kill 5 enemies with a particular weapon, I'm inclined to go for that, but like you, wouldn't want to go around collecting an insane amount of collectibles.
I've got some issues, dropped from 32,000 to 0!
