I'd much rather get them on Fridays, actually.

Friday's are paydays for me

No way tuesdays are better than fridays. Monday sucks but when you're looking forward to a release, you know you'll get the game/dvd you've been waiting for tomorrow. Fridays are already awesome. You gotta spread out the goodness.

Hahaha. That makes perfect sense.

You know it's true.

That'll do it alright.

I think this is actually a result of movies normally being released in theaters on Fridays. If they released DVDs on Fridays, then people would buy those DVDs and then go home and watch them. Thus, fewer people will go to the theater. So, not wanting DVD releases to steal money away from Opening Weekend Figures, the studios decide to release them on Tuesday.

And I guess video games just follow suit.

Bioshock. Noice.

Maybe I'll get to play it someday.

Over here games, DVDs, CDs and movies in cinemas are all released on Fridays. I just mean it sucks that we have to wait 3 or so more days for our games then loads of other people, it's not really fair. I hate (as in, I hate that I'm made to wait) when I'm dying for a game to come out and I hear people online talking about it or arranging online sessions and I can't join in because I'm forced to wait a few more days before I can even think of getting it.

I've actually been playing a ton of Company of Heroes lately. During my (very few) breaks of BioShock, I would start it up and play a skirmish. It's hard as hell, and I'm constantly getting my ass kicked, but I'm learning.

I'm also on episode 4 of Sam & Max Season 1. It's such a great game, and some of the scenarios and puzzles are hilarious.

Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney.

Ra · 08-25-2007, 02:20 AM

I've started playing Okami again. Starting to get pretty close to the end (The Twin Owl Demons are up next).

*cowabunga14* · 08-25-2007, 05:30 PM

I brought out Star Wars: Battlefront II last night, so I guess that would count as what I'm currently playing.

Same here. Last boss I fought was Oki and I'm currently in Yoshpet.

*Aelia* · 08-25-2007, 05:55 PM

I wish I had a copy of Okami. But right now I'm replaying Twilight Princess.

*Dr. Doom* · 08-27-2007, 04:52 PM

This seemed like the most appropriate place to bring this up. I reserved Wild ARMs 5 a while back on a whim. The trailer that I kept seeing on Gamestop TV had awesome music and just looked generally interresting, plus Wild ARMs was always a series that interested me because of the western theme, but I've never gotten into for whatever reason. Anyways, I really don't know what to expect from the game, and it comes out tomorrow. No reviews are out yet, and it doesn't seem like the kinda game that's necessarily on the top of everyone's "to review" list. So I was curious if anyone had heard anything about it. I'll ahve to go grab Prime 3 tomorrow, but if I decide I don't want Wild ARMs, I'll just use that 5 bucks towards the pirchase or something like that.

*Cure* · 08-29-2007, 07:14 PM

I picked up Blue Dragon and it's pretty good so far. No major complaints.

Jed · 08-29-2007, 08:33 PM

Streets Of Rage 2 for XBLA.

**ThirdMarioBro** · 08-29-2007, 10:46 PM

Streets of Rage 2 on XBLA? lol. Virtual Console FTW. I'll download the demo to laugh at the poor emulation then delete it.

*Brodie* · 08-30-2007, 10:26 AM

I hope the person who made that image in your sig from Deviant Art finds you and s***s down your throat, TMB.

Have a good day.
