Dude! What's up with Gamestop's price drop on titles like Uncharted 2, Brutal legend, and Demon's Souls (to name a few)? This is great for people who haven't bought them yet, but those of us who bought them day one are screwed. I bought Brutal Legend, and when I saw the price drop, I called Gamestop and asked if there was any refund offer for early purchasers. There isn't! Only two weeks have passed and the game gets a price drop. This is bullshit for early buyers. Speak up Giantbomb regulars, how do you feel about this? 
New price is $49.99. As little as two weeks after its release. That might as well be a release price, if you ask me.

Jeff has brought to my attention an article written by Dave Halverson of Play magazine concerning the current state of videogame criticism through reference towards the professional reception of Golden Axe: Beast Rider. Here is the article if you are interested: http://www.playmagazine.com/index.php?fuseaction=SiteMain.showGamePage&Game_ID=887
I am curious to hear your thoughts on the matter.

This was meant to be posted in response to a question to the effect of, "What videogame characters would make good presidential running mates?" I don't know what I did wrong...

Kain and Raziel. I always found Kain's moral relativism pragmatic and sensible, and think he would make an efficient Commander and Chief. Raziel would make an ideal vice president with his more left-wing, tree hugging, checks and balances for Kain's more manic moments.

Overlord and Overlord: Raising Hell (the expansion) were some of the most refreshing releases to come out of the gaming industry in quite some time. On August 14th, Codemasters posted an article on their website announcing not just a sequel, but three unique titles: Overlord 2 for the 360 and PS3, Overlord Dark Legends for the Wii, and Minions for the DS. There are screenshots depicting minions fighting something like an abominable snowman and minions riding wolves. I don't know about you, but I'm stoked. Can't wait for this one. Codemasters is slating them for some time in '09.
