Differences between GameBuzz and EB... - Gamebuzz always gets their games on time. No delay on getting my coveted Atlus games... - GameBuzz is routinely more expensive, especially on titles they see as "rare". - GameBuzz does not refund money from un-picked-up preorders, as EB does. I guess wehn they get your game when they say they will... you don't actually need to look around on day 1 to find something you're itching to play. That said, there are none around where I live, so I am stuck with frequenting the local EB. Not the end of the world... really...

I only played an hour last night, but so far so good But then again I love my RPGs. And I can't wait for friends to come over to have some splitscreen fun! Now shooters aren't my favorite genre, but I have enjoyed Fallout 3, Bioshock, and Mass Effect, so I decided to give this one a shot, and enjoying it so far. :)

As a former (unpaid) game reviewer, it was always important for me to make sure I finished whatever game I was reviewing to get as complete a picture of the product as I can. I kind of expect reviewers to do the same, especially those that are paid to do so. A bad game? Finish it. Everyone has bad days at work, so why should game reviewers be the only ones to get out of them? It just comes with the job. And yes, there is usually a point where opinion doesn't seem like it will change anymore, but I have actually had my opinion change with endgame content. Imagine if I had reviewed Xenogears at the end of disk 1 and just assumed it was all gonna stay the same after that? Sadly, it doesn't. Or if I had given up on Dragoneer's Aria, a game that got more enjoyable in the second half of the game? If I had stopped Lunar: Eternal Blue halfway through, would I have been able to rave about the awesomeness of the post game Epilogue? Sure mechanics tend to stay the same, but there is always room for the new skill that completely alters the game experience. I still prefer to read reviews based on complete explorations of a game's content, or at the very least, an explanation of when and why a reviewer gave up.

Metroid for the NES. A local store was having a sale. I waited in line for an hour before opening and ran through the store to acquire my $25 (CDN) copy of the game. I had never heard of it before, but I wanted a new game and HAD TO HAVE IT. I never regretted it.
