Probably not, but you can buy it used on amazon for $15-20.

I'd say that I'd have not been upset if I'd paid $60 when it first came out. Used at Gamestop was $20, so definitely got my money's worth there!

The investigations are actually pretty neat.

The game starts off great, but the game long overstays its welcome by the time you near the end.

I just bought it for xbox, but haven't tried it yet. I found it in a half-price bin and I figured it was probably a good buy.

games trying to emulate movies have never interested me. It's ruining the whole point of the medium. Perhaps if the game was full of virtual sex i would be more inclined to play it, but a videogame replicating a movie staple from half a century ago just doesn't do it for me.

I think the worst example of this are games like the Phantasmagoria adventure games from the 90s. They felt a little contrived to me, even if they initially did dazzle us with their sweet "graphics".

Games like Grand Theft Auto : Vice City or Red Dead Redemption really borrow a lot from movies and, in my opinion, it works perfectly.

Don't you second hand copies of games in video game shops there? Here you can pick it up for about £7 which is about 9 or 10 bucks.

Go there and win access to the Mass Effect 3 demo today. Unfortunately it's probably being bombarded right now, it's kinda broken at the moment. Later it should work fine.

Even though I haven't heard good things about SC V, I figure I'll just pick up, play it for a week or two, and if I don't like it after that, just trade it in for $20-$30 in-store credit and SC IV 'cause I know I like that one.

Anyway, atm I'm playing a Wood Elf on Skyrim. Not my favorite character thus far (Redguard ftw), but still enjoyable. Skyrim is so ****ing awesome.

Also playing Borderlands again in preparation for the sequel coming out in a few months.
