Alright, today’s Amazon deal of the hour is Diablo 2 battlechest for 27 bucks. Not a GREAT deal (Gogamer.com has it for $30), but amazon is tax-less and ships free.

Boramis also found a deal where you can buy used keys for about $6, then use them on blizzard’s site to get the media (Download to replace scratched cds). Certainly way cheaper.

pLayday: 7/8 – Coop
We’ll see who comes today. If it is a low number like the last two times, then we may be able to do some Halo achievement hunting, co-op campaign with scoring, gta co-op.
I’m thinking next week, or the week after, we should shoot for some Diablo 2 co-op (up to 8 players). Who’d be interested in that? The battlechest goes on sale for $20. Is it available for that anywhere this week?
FPS. 4 player co-op. Zombies.
Published with Valve (Half Life/Team Fortress 2), made by the Counterstrike guys.
This is all you should need to know to begin to get excited for this game. Not enough? Well, lets delve into the other details they’ve reveal:
I finally beat: Army of Two
Sometimes, just sometimes, you can take something that shouldn’t go together and it’ll turn out OK. Maybe even good. Like Peanut butter and chocolate, or Tabasco sauce and Soy sauce on a chicken sandwich (really, it works),
…or EA and a good game.
Or at least EA and an OK game. Sure, they just copied Gears of War, and perhaps not as well as Gears, but it has its own merits. And you can’t earn as many achievements playing the Gears Campaign AGAIN, now can you? And the game isn’t dark and dreary. Just because Brown is Real, doesn’t mean I like it. Even AoT’s “everything is sand” is better. At least it’s brighter. Unlike Skate, which only had to topple a 10 year old stale serie, AoT has some stiff competition from Gears of War, Halo, and every other multiplayer shooter out there. So, how does it stack up? And what does it do wrong (it’s EA, they had to screw something up)?
Rant: Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2
Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 NEEDS to have co-op combination of Live and Local. If I have 2 friends over, and a 3rd at his home, I want to play with all of them, dammit.
It’s not like the experience is any different on Live than Local play already. The screen locks you all together no matter which platform (local or live) that you play on. You simply can’t have 2 people on the same console. If Halo can do it, an xbox port of the xmen legends engine sure should be able to. Or perhaps that’s the problem…
Either way, from a gamer’s standpoint: just do it already. You know it makes sense.
My initial impressions of: Monster Madness
I found Monster Madness for $20. Not too bad. Came in handy earlier this evening when some friends were over who wanted to play some 3 player co-op on the same box that wasn’t Marvel Ultimate Alliance.
Not too many choices after that. Continue reading
