Get a head start on the 'My Player' mode in NBA 2K10 by creating your own baller and leading him through the draft combine to raise his stock. When you pop in your NBA 2K10 disc you'll find your player waiting for you.

Don't bother buying the second portion of Watchmen if you haven't played the first. Why? Because Gamestop is selling the disc version of both games for $19.99 new. At least they were last I checked.

But if you bought the first and wanted the second, well, it's not cheaper to buy the disc version. I might pick up the game, just for shits and giggles.

Is that the one that has the movie with it as well, Kelegacy? I'm sort of hoping to see that drop in price, and it's a hell of a lot more likely if they want to classify it as a "game" and not the movie.

That version is $37 at Amazon right now I think, but that's the PS3 version and the movie is Blu-Ray. So that's a great deal if you want the 2 games and the movie together.

At least I think it was Amazon. I just saw it this morning on Cheapassgamer in the forums.

Right, that's the version I mean. I saw that too. Since the game, from what I understand, really isn't worth the money. I'm hoping to see the disc at less than movie prices.

And hold the fuck up. Seriously? Pay $5 to make your character before you play the game? Well if you're willing to pay $60 a year for a roster update, I guess this isn't unreasonable.

Is there anything new in part 2? I bought the first part, and while fun, it got old and boring quite fast. And it was pretty short too :/

Well, that Invicible Tiger came out of nowhere... but overpriced. I wish they had kept the 800/400 price system. :(

First digital 3D title on live? What the fuck does that mean? As last time I checked... no, not by a long shot.

It means it can actually be played in 3D. You have to have a special set I think, but in the demo you can set it to 3D mode.
