Thinking about getting Scribblenauts and Mario & Luigi especially with the gift card deals at Toys r'us. Interested in NFS: Shift but I'll wait until I see the pc version for cheap.

 

[Pheran]

Hot damn I've been waiting for Horse Life Adventures!

But seriously, Scribblenauts looks interesting.

 

[R Nilla]

Maybe I just haven't been paying attention, but MUA2 comes out tomorrow and I haven't seen or heard anything about it.

I hope some early Scribblenauts reviews show up today. I'm looking forward to it. :thumbsup:

 

[bl4ckfl4g]

Scribblenauts for me. MU2 looks better than the first but the first one was so boring, I'd need a demo to consider MU2

I've seen some commercials for it. There's a pretty funny one where the Captain America group and the Iron Man group are picking teams and fighting over who gets Juggernaut and you see Juggernaut walking back from side to side.

I remember in NHL 99 that had Eric Lindross on the cover...I would get like 60+ checks a game. :laugh:

However, I would still lose because the AI goalie would stop everything you threw at it, while the CPU could score easily with straight-on slap shots on your top-rated goalie. :|

Booyah! Anyone else take the week off in preparation? This is like my Madden.

 

[Kabob]

The few videos I've seen of it makes MUA 2 look alot better than the first. But I too want a demo first.

 

[biggestmuff]

The only one that I'd pick up is NFS:Shift, but not at $60. I'll wait until it's $40 or less.
I was looking forward to Wet, but after playing the demo a couple of weeks ago, I'll pass.

I think regardless of how well Shift is reviewing, it's going to be a disappointment for EA sales wise. I just don't see it selling like a Forza of Gran Turismo.

Scribblenauts and MUA2 tho, I'm all in, MUA was an amazing coop game, and I expect 2 to be just as good and probably head and shoulders better.

 

[Queasy]

I want to give Scribblenauts a try but I gave my DS to my daughter last year.

I'll be renting MUA2 tomorrow though when I return Batman: AA.

Unless you have Nintendo or Call of Duty in your title nothing outsells GT, that isn't a fair metric to use IMO nor is it fair in the sense that GT likely has a development budget at least 3x-4x larger then Shift. As much as I am dismayed at the initial impressions of Shift, it is not fair to expect any racing game to sell as well as GT. It would be akin to picking on Aion because it won't sell as well as WoW, just not a fair comparison.

I would be surprised if it sold better then Forza3, but certainly not shocked if it out did Forza2. 4Million units isn't that much, particularly since Shift is cross platform and PS3 owners are starved for anything approaching realism in their racing games.

 

[BoberFett]

I'll be picking up a DS and Scribblenauts tomorrow at lunch. I'm not big on handhelds, but that looks like too much fun to ignore.

 

[bucwylde23]

Probably picking up NHL 10 tomorrow at lunch.

 

[R Nilla]

Ha, check out the nerdtastic Scribblenauts launch event at Nintendo World.

 

[Dessert Tears]

Not too much love for MUA2. I considered preordering to get Juggernaut, but if I get a deal for <$50, I'll come out ahead even if he's pay DLC.

 

[FeathersMcGraw]

Scribblenauts has dominated my consciousness so deeply that I barely even noticed that there was a new Mario and Luigi coming out at the same time. I'll buy it too, but I imagine it won't even get opened for a week or two.

Pinball Hall of Fame for the 360 would be a no-brainer purchase if I didn't already have it for the Wii, but only 3 new tables means I'll be buying it used.

 

[Schfifty Five]

Does anyone know if Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2's Multiplayer is capable of doing like 2 ppl local on one console and then joining up with 2 other people online (or any combination of local players joining others online)?

 

[coldmeat]

Is that a typo in the title or is it actually spelled "SHiFT"?
