    Ok I need to spend 1200 more points to get my bonus 800, what do you guys suggest getting? I have Dead Rising Case Zero and am saving another 800 for the Red Dead Undead add-on

    Also does anyone own NBA 2k11, if so what do you think of it? I have it coming from Hong Kong for a friend but am thinking about buying one for myself.

    If you don't already have Shadow Complex and Trials HD then ignore anything anyone else says until you've got those.

    Unless it's Toy Soldiers. Or Limbo. Or Braid.

    No, including those. They're certainly an experience but for pure unadulterated gameplay nothing beats Trials and SC.

    I have NBA 2K11, its a great game but you do have to get used to the controls, they are not bad/flawed controls but they are designed in such a way that you have to get familiar with them. There should be a downloadable demo for that game.

    NBA 2K11 is certainly better than NBA Elite, EA's pathetic upcoming B-Ball game can be checked out here in this laughable preview video.

    Doing nothing of importance.

    I feel like the only person around here who just didn't like Braid.

    That's right, I said it. I didn't like Braid. I gave the demo a shot, and was quickly turned off. I can't exactly say why, but I tried it, and just got a bit frustrated and bored of it rather quickly.

    Hmm... well, the demo really doesn't do the game enough justice, since most of the crazy parts and unique game mechanics are in the later worlds. The story is pretty haunting, yet enlightening (depending on how you interpret it). That's what gives the game such a good name.

    Before I got it, I tried the demo and didn't really like it, but after reading some reviews and stuff, I took a bold risk and purchased the game. Glad I did! :p but that's just me.

    Yeah I gotta say the demo doesn't do it justice either. The story is a little... emo if you will. But it is dark and fun. The m echanics of the game are fantastic and really make you think outside the box. I will admit a couple of the later puzzles I had to youtube cause I simply could not figure them out.

    I'll have to agree with you for once, I didn't really like Braid either. I admit, I haven't played terribly far, but nothing really grabbed me, and the difficult puzzles (especially having to move the puzzle pieces to make platforms); felt weirdly cheap to me. I just didn't get the atmosphere the game created, and neither did the story compel me to play more. I'm sure once it's completed, it can be looked back on as a clever experience, but from someone who's played to, what I guess is the middle, I have no desire to go back and complete it.

    So, New Vegas releases tomorrow. The only thing that makes me mad is there is Xbox 360 exclusive DLC. So that means PC and PS3 owners won't get to play it. I personally think console exclusive DLC is a stupid idea.

    meh, if it's 100% exclusive to xbox, it's not exactly going to be a major add on. Maybe a skin or weapons pack I guess, nothing to really get upset about.

    Going by previous Fallout DLC, it won't be that great anyway. When devs get pulled into doing exclusive content they generally try to keep it something fairly trivial and unimportant, it's not as though they're gonna raise the level cap again or anything.

    ...or it'll be a timed exclusive.
