Tuesday News and Notes
Well, Dan covered Metroid, Carnival Games, and Warhawk. I’m planning on picking up my copy of Metroid today and seeing if I can rent Tiger Woods for the Wii or Stuntman for the 360. The demo for Stuntman on the 360 really surprised me when I played it, because I thought it would really suck all kinds of ass, but it actually seemed like it might be an enjoyable game. That feeling might change with time though.
- Amazon is running a buy 2 get 1 free promotion with select HD DVD’s and Blu-Ray discs. I picked up the first two Pirates of the Caribbean and the Fifth Element on Blu-Ray yesterday for $41 after a coupon. Not a bad deal at all. They have a big list of titles over at Cheapassgamer.
- I ended up buying Picross DS as my last Gamefly rental game. I won’t be going back to Gamefly until they have a Midwest distribution center.
- Still no movement on my bad hard drive. My wife doesn’t seem to think it’s worth the cost to recover pictures of my daughter that “didn’t make the cut” on our website. My inner geek is just having a hard time giving up on the actual photos that were taken by the camera. Oh, well.
- Can anyone explain to me why I watched the new Aliens versus Predator movie trailer last night? I don’t ever think I’ve seen so many people killed in a movie trailer before. I hated the first movie, so I have no idea why I wasted 2 minutes of my life watching the new trailer. Ugh.
- Dan just told me that the Last Starfighter is coming out on HD DVD. I have fond memories of seeing that movie in the theaters for my birthday when I was a little bugger, but since it’s coming out on that format… I guess it will be a while before I see it in High Definition any time soon.
