They had a "Gamestop Guarantee" in place where all pre-owned games you ordered online were guaranteed to come with a manual and boxart. I can't find it anymore, so my bad if that has since been reversed. @Raso719: With used games the disc is guaranteed to work. With new games you can buy the...

Gamestop doesn't accept used games without boxes and manuals anymore. If the disc doesn't run, you can keep bringing it back until you get one that does.

New and used cars are not of the same quality. Used cars can often have a lot of problems, which is an incentive to buy new cars. With video games, new and used are exactly the same, except used games are less expensive. So to add an incentive to buy new games, developers put in things like day...

I got an extra 1000 points, decided not to spend them and they took 800 of the points back later last night. Honestly, I was kind of relieved, because when I saw the extra points I was worried that my account had been hacked and someone was charging them to my credit card or something. But...

The battles in DA:O were really unbalanced, and the lag between your command + your character's actions make it really easy to get into a bad position quickly. I can't even tell you how many times I wiped with "take potion" queued up on each character. I played through on PC and got through it...

I hope it's better constructed than the Creative/Sound Blaster World of Warcraft headset with its two plastic extender tabs that snap if you look at them the wrong way -_-

I completely support this scholarship. It's not fair that white males can only apply for general scholarships while any other gender/race can apply for those general ones PLUS special ones designated specifically for them. While I think that race/gender-specific scholarships did once serve a...

I'm a Canadian and I supported it on principle even though I'm with Rogers and already have a download cap of 90gb/month (something that my 4-person household regularly burns through). Stuff like this is only paving the way for mainstream companies to start shearing down package sizes even more...

When CNN discussed the study, they began by saying that video games cause mental illness, and then at the end said that mental illness causes people to play video games. So hey, we're all mentally ill! High fives all around!

I hate Final Fantasy games. They all have approximately the same story with the same shallow cast of stock characters. The only reason to play it is the combat and even that isn't up to much. The games are basically just bad movies with grinding to fill the gaps.

I'd pick Pokemon Gold/Silver. Kind of relaxing without the threat of death looming like in other games, tons of area to explore and Pokemon to collect :D edit: whoops, sorry for double post!

Assassin's Creed 2: 1. Starts off so insanely slow with all the tutorials that it kills the replayability 2. Whenever a character wants to tell you something it's always in the form of a redundant mission to follow them around town 3. The game as a whole was too easy 4. Combat stinks so...

I actually loved the ending of Fable 2. It was very unexpected, and being able to actually choose your destiny was a refreshing change from other games. For lamest ending, I'm going with Ezio's ending in AC2. I accept that Desmond's story has a place in the series but Ezio deserved his own...
