Homefront? good or bad?

basically, im going to the uk in a few weeks and am looking to capitalise on the lower game prices (after conversion from AUD to GBP i'll save bout $30 AUD on each game)
so, im wondering if any of you have opinions on the game homefront?
it looks kinda cool, but at the same time looks like a cheap mix of battlefield and modern warfare 2...
whaddaya think?

it does look good i would like to know this to

my favorite review site deals with this yet-another-run-of-the-mill-war-propaganda "game" with great justice
Homefront - VGS

Get Crysis 2 instead. Trust me. You will regret getting Homefront.

If you buy games will they work on your region? I thought games had a region lock like PAL and NTSC?

+1
Medal of Honor Tier 1 is also a good deal, excellent multiplayer and has been out for a while so cheap as chips. Going to get Homefront in a few weeks when it drops in price.

I don't know a thing about video games but that was a hilarious read!

Homefront is a disgrace
Homefront sucks its has one of those bargain bin story-lines. And when i say bargain bin i mean they reached deep into the bottom of the pale to get the cheapest, easiest and non-action filled game they could find. It literally has excepts from COD like when the tower fall in COD4 when trying to catch zarkiefs son. Graphics are complete garbage Artificial Intelligence sucks and the game engine is under developed you can clearly the boxy path they are walking.
Believe just stick to COD is a lot better, besides COD has stolen everything from games like GoldenEye and Nightfire.

homefront from gamestation from the uk is about 36 GDP, converted to AUD its about $70...
here homefront costs about $100... we have ridiculously inflated video-game prices here
EDIT: oh im travelling all around with my family England, Scotland, Ireland (both republic and not) and Wales...
my dad's English so i managed to get a british passport which means i can live and work anywhere in the eurozone, im thinking of going to live in England during my gap year. (which is still 4 years away )

this game glitched like crazy on me before giving me the rings of death
not too bad of a game though

urrghh ive had a rrod before... i had to convince my friend to not do the towel trick while i was out...

36£ brand new? Fancy picking me up one and I'll give you the money when you come to Ireland. You can check tesco too, they usually have cheap video games as its a supermarket.
Whoever said about the AI etc. Who carews? It's all about box live bay bee.
How's online?
The one thing I usually hate about FPS' is the fluidity of the character movements. Like sprinting etc. I feel like nearly all FPS' are all crampy and awkward compared to COD. I can't really explain it.

Guitar Hero 5 Free on Amazon Appstore Today!

At market price of $8, it's a pretty good chance to save some money!
Just thought I would give everyone a heads-up.
It requires you to have an Amazon account with a payment option, but it doesn't actually push through any money. They have a free app that usually costs every day, but this is the first time I've seen anything over $4 listed as free.
Check it out if you don't already use Amazon AppStore.
EDIT: Not the best game in the world, but hey, it's $8 saved!

Like I always say to my wife... It's only a savings if you were going to buy it anyway!

does it actually play well and fullscreen on the xoom?
I would love Rock Band to work, like I had it on my Evo, but it's never worked right...so I didn't even try GH.
any comments welcome!

Its horrible, don't waste your time

No its not compatible. It takes up about a fifth of the screen and the game is just not up to par, even if it were high Res.

Do you think about Call of Duty map pack pricing?

Article here: http://www.callofdutymappacks.com/news/the-price-is-right/ We have just gotten to the stage (or more xbox 360 uses have) where if they purchased all map packs, you'd have spent more money on the map packs than the game itself for Black Ops. Have a read! What do you think, is it too much?

I hadn't played Black Ops for a loooooooooooong time, and started playing again last weekend. I knew there had been map packs, but hadn't paid any attention to them, but when I had a look I was shocked at the price. I think they're WAY too pricey. I got the game for about £35, so it was relatively cheap for release day, but all the maps will total near on £33, so yeah. It's like buying another game!
I'm not buying them - simple as that. They'll drop the price and sell them as a bundle at some point, probably for about £20. I'll wait for that. Besides, I'm a noob all over again and I'm getting slaughtered! I need to learn to play it again before learning to play new maps

Definitely way over priced.

I haven't bought any of them and don't plan to. The new COD will be out soon enough. Also the new pack that just came out is only zombies.

I never bought them. Higher priories then map packs
Please lengthen your message to at least 10 charters

If your an avid COD player you will end up drinking the Cool-Aid just to be able to stay in the game. If you don't purchase them - you will end up being in less and less lobbies.
Its extortion sure - but I like the new maps. I do wish they were $9.99 instead of the $15.99 - or get at least more content for the price.
And.. by the time they introduce lower pricing the community will have moved on to the next installation of COD: Steal Your Soul edition leaving the old ones in the dust.
I try not to think about the money... the movies nowadays are $9.99 a ticket, a Blue Ray is $24.99, and even a new hardcover book is more expensive.
For me its a decent price vs. value thing.

Im just waiting for my maps to download, i wasnt going to download them but all my mates have who play online. Yea they cost way to much, it should be a one of price for all downloadable content.

Once MW3 comes out they should drop to an almost reasonable price but who will be playing at that time?

A GENUINE Nexus7 story.

My mother was after a tablet. She didn't want an iPad, so I told her to try out a 10in and a 7in Android in a store an decide what size she liked the best. She liked the 7, so I said I had a Nexus7 on pre-order, and she could try it out when it arrived.
I took mine over last Sunday (29th July), she instantly loved it, ordered the 16GB there an then from Google Play store, I warned her it might take a week or so, but I was shocked when it arrived early on Tuesday morning (31st July). It's also defect free, and she is overjoyed with it so far. She has already spend her £15 on content.
Well done Google. They seem to be ontop of things now for sure, at least in the UK. Mine arrived perfect condition, but was delayed by a few days (not the end of the earth, despite the impression you would have got reading here).
The new ones don't need a OTA either, it arrived with 4.1.1 ready installed.

I got next day delivery and a perfect unit also, first wave UK device.

I bought one for my mom, she immediately fell in love with it. My dad has an iPad and she doesn't like it b/c it's too heavy, and also because Apple sucks balls.

Nice Story.. my mother liked mine too, especially playing "wheres my water". I will buy her one for birthday hopefully I can purchase it here (germany) until then. Importing 5 pound of Walther Whites blue crystals is easier to get a Nexus 7 from UK to Germany

My mom probably plans on getting one, she just needs to get rid of her nook color. I can always tell when I show her my new toys if the next time i hear from her it will be "hey how do I do this on mine"
I got that when she was playing with the nexus. She also made sure before i left, so I'd want the 8gb, or the 16? lol

I'd get one for me and one for my mother, if only it was available in italy and you could buy something other than apps and books on the market...
Please google give us newpapers at least!

Games For a Good Cause

Well our kiddo pulled off the impossible and made honor roll and went from referrals every week to not having a referral to the office all year.
I gave him my xbox for making honor roll, but I've given all of my games away to single mothers over the last few years, and now our lil guy is in need of games.
I had Forza 4, and a few zombie slasher type games but those will give him nightmares. Do any of you have any older or budget games lying around that you could donate or sell real cheap? He doesn't have to have to latest and greatest for him, just some fun games for a kiddo about 8. Maybe some games your or your kid have outgrown.
He has the instruments from rock band and guitar hero but no game discs, and also has the Kinect. It's brand, new someone gave it to me as a gift, and I'm letting him use it as well as my xbox 360.
If you have some things laying around that would be affordable to someone on a tiny budget let me know. I have a fedex account and will cover shipping, or might have things to trade also.

Do you have a local game stop? You can find some cheap used old games there. Perhaps ebay or amazon?
