The news stories of the week that caught my eye. Read more after the jump! Links to the original articles are in the titles.
Target has games? Huh...
As spotted across
gaming-dom, Target is getting into the holidays right smack in the
middle of the big releases. During Uncharted 3: Drake's
Deception's launch week, gamers can enjoy a B2G1F deal! That's
crazy! Certainly sales like this will happen after the annual retail
sacrifice which is Black Friday, but getting a jump on it? With
quality titles like UC3, Battlefield 3 and Batman:
Arkham City already on the shelf, savvy gamers can score an extra
game from the quality offerings. Too bad this isn't happening just
before Black Friday because we'd have Skyrim, MW3
and maybe even Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword
to snag, too.
This is the face of a time sink
Really,
nothing more needs to be said. Well, except will this have
cross-platform implications for mulitplayer? Cheers to Joystiq for this.
It's so ugly
I know that the PC
master race constantly whines that their beautiful games have to be
dumbed down for the console kids, but for once they're right. I
mean, this looks like a PS2 game...and not a particularly good one at
that. As seen at 1Up,
the 360 version needs that 15GB install to even look like a 360 game.
That's unfortunate for those without HDDs. I just am blown away by
the VAST difference between the game running off the disc and running
with the pack installed. It's mind boggling.
The Eurogamer forums for Uncharted 3: Drake's Decption
Wow.
I know some folks are really one-sided, but this is ridiculous. I
mean, an 8 is a bad
score?!?
What the hell? Sure, it's not the blockbuster follow up it could
have been (according to the review), but it's still a solid/great
score. Now, I do have to agree with a few of the raging nerds that
are saying Modern
Warfare 3
should be held to the same standard and if it's “not as good as MW2
then it should get a lower score.” Overall, though, Jim at
Destructiod has it right: bunch of nutters.
OBJECTION!
I...wait, what?
This actually looks good! I'm kinda of excited. Only kinda, but
still! Thanks to Joystiq for this.
