I'm out in Prince George, right on the Hopewell border. The closest Target to me is Colonial Heights right across from Southpark Mall.

I'll probably be on multiplayer after I beat campaign, and beat Halo Wars.
What part of VA you in? I'm central VA.
Anytime a street date has been broken and reported on the web, none of the stores around me have broken the street date.
Some people, like myself, are getting both and will enjoy both.
...and they're doing a midnight release for Killzone 2 but not for Halo Wars.
It doesn't matter to me to be honest because I'm getting both from Best Buy. I love getting bonus points for being part of the RewardZone Gamer's Club.
I played the demo and had a blast. I had to force myself to stop playing it because I kept wanting more and couldn't get it. :-(
I pre-ordered from Best Buy so I can get points n stuff.
I asked GameStop about a midnight release and they weren't sure. I'm not too worried about it to be honest. I'll play it all day Friday and Saturday since I requested off.
Oh and I'm gonna knock campaign out first. Might not touch MP for a while since I'll have Halo Wars a few days after.
I didn't start the download until about 4:40 am eastern. I started it, and then put Xbox on standby and went to bed. Woke up around noon today and it was done.
...and there wasn't much left to pick through. I'd say there were equal amounts of PS3 games and 360 games. I was oh so tempted to get Resistance 2 (PS3) and Prince of Persia (360) for about $36 each but I decided against it since I'm getting GTA IV DLC tomorrow, Killzone 2 and Halo Wars. Plus I found a few Ebay listings that were selling those games for about the same price.
The Blu-Ray selection was horrible. There wasn't anything left really that was worth it.
I'v...
I've never ran across another STICKzophrenic on XBL ;-)
I have a catalog of 25+ Xbox 360 games, and most of them were bought pretty close to release. It's really hard for me to pick up an older game for the simple fact is I try to get the games I REALLY want, and then when I might have a chance to get an older game, something is about to release.
My gaming "wishlist" is as follows:
Killzone 2 (day one purchase)
Halo Wars (possible day one purchase)
GTAIV DLC (down the road)
Halo 3 Mythic Maps (...
I've played the Killzone 2 demo a lot, and I've played the Halo Wars demo a lot as well. Both games left me wanting more. Now my big dilemma, with them releasing so close to each other, is balancing playtime with each.
Also @ ape007:
"guys,there's nothing better than having ps3 and 360 in 1 room,together
both try thier best to fulfil my gaming needs
love em"
As a 360 since Christmas '05, and a new PS3 owner, I completely ...
How many sites that post articles here, and then they talk about getting hits because it was on N4G. N4G is always being mentioned in other sites. It's quite comical, especially considering I remember when this place was so small that it didn't get updated on the weekends. I kind of miss those days because almost everything was legit news.
...but I played Uncharted at a buddy's house and the visuals looked good, but they didn't blow me away.
Maybe I should give the game a go on my setup to see if there's a difference.
...and wasn't too keen on the idea, but I had a blast playing this. I definitely want it, but I haven't a clue when to get it. Killzone 2 is my next game, then maybe this one. I dunno. There's so many great games to choose from.
Oh and the cutscenes were freakin' amazing. My jaw dropped watching them.
"The game had great gameplay mechanics with the turn-based battle system in place."
I wasn't aware ME was turn-based. I wonder what game I played then.
...and my download is at 85%.
I can't wait to fire up this bad boy.
...then I'm happy.
Mass Effect is an awesome game. I've played through it three times I believe. The story is amazing and it had so many "HOLY SH!T!!!" moments in it for me.
It's a little bit ridiculous.
Gears of War was freaking amazing when it came out. It's still a great game. It implemented a great cover system, which set the bar for cover based shooters. Granted it didn't invent the cover idea, but it was the best use of cover to date. Playing co-op is always a ton of fun as well.
Halo 3 MP is an absolute blast to play. The campaign is fun to play, especially co-op. It isn't the best looking game, but its artistic style is perfect f...
...and I play my Xbox 360 more. I just got my PS3, and only have one game for it (R:FoM), but Killzone 2 is right around the corner, and I'm sure that game will pull me off of my 360 for a while.
