PC and Videogame Wrapup for 7/6 to 7/12 (1 Viewer)

[GlenHaag]

Boy, this one takes the cake. I can't even begin to pick on. So I'll leave it up to the rest of you to pick the HTF game of the week.

Hate to do it, but I just can't pick one.

I'm telling you one other thing. This week seems to be the gaming and retail gaming industry's way of telling you to get out of the house. There isn't many games out there in the ads and there isn't much coming out. So get out there and have some fun.

Have a good week everyone.

Glen

 

[Mark Yatchak]

I'll pick one. Outlaw Volleyball. It may not be what I hope it to be, but it is Live. May be interesting.

 

[Kenneth Cummings]

Nothing this week for me, but I am getting some new game from the archive box.

 

[Allen_Appel]

Unreal Championship is also $19.99 at Target.

 

[Sal Orlando]

Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver 2 for PS2 seems to be $40 at Amazon.com. Wish I could find it for $10 as listed above. Anyone got a link?

 

[GlenHaag]

Sal,

I removed Soul Reaver 2 from the list.

Looks like they raised the price back up. When I get some time this week, I'm going to go over the list and check some of the prices.

Glen

 

[Ken Chui]

Some recent price drops spotted this morning at TARGET:

PS2:
Dynasty Tactics - $14.98
Dynasty Warriors 3 Xtreme Legends - $14.98
Timesplitters 2 - $14.98

No new Gamecube or Xbox items spotted in the Clearance aisle (at the two Targets I checked).

If you decide to hold out a little longer, they might be cut to ~$7.50 in a couple of weeks.

 

[GlenHaag]

I also found Star Wars Bounty Hunter for the GC for $14.99 when I just ran through there.

I picked it. Looks like it should be a decent action title... if I ever open it.

Glen

 

[Peter D]

Picked up Tony Hawk 4 for the Xbox at EB for $19.99...

 

[GlenHaag]

Looks like Tony Hawk 4 went platinum for the Xbox.

I'll add it to the list for a bit.

If I get some time over the next week, I'm going to clean up the list a bit, and check a good deal of the prices out. It looks to be a bit of work, but damnit, it's worth it.
