360/PS3 Army of Two $10

[Xerxes]

Credit got to Cheapy D (http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/showthread.php?t=207046).

Starting up at 4am est at Gamefly (http://www.gamefly.com/).

GameFly's used games come complete with manual and case, are guaranteed and are usually in excellent condition.

They are down right now though.

While shallow and slightly homoerotic, Army of Two was suprisingly enjoyable throughout. Blinking the crap out of a shotgun and gold plating an AK47 are just icing on the cake.

homoerotic??

Ah...the page is down. I have $5 to use.

Yeah, I think cheapy maybe off on time.

[Disgustipated]

It's kinda worth $10. Kinda.

[Kelegacy]

I rented it earlier this year, it's okay. Worth $10 I think.

[Talanvor]

I jumped on this, since Gamefly sent me a $5 coupon a few days ago, just because I'm so swell. Ahem.

I figured a game has to be all kinds of awful to not be worth $5.

I bought a copy for me and two more for my brothers to play co-op. Gamefly's deals this year are ridiculious. Picked up games for my parents to give to them and even though they only spent $60 on games each, between the lot of us I have ordered about 20 360 games all for under or around $10 including:

Condemned 2
Dark Sector
Army of Two
Alone in the Dark
Culdcept Saga
The Club
Time Shift
Conan
Viking
Spiderman 3
Incredible Hulk
Guitar Hero Aerosmith
Bully


And a few others. Not one of them was over $14, most under $10.

I will basically double my 360 library this Christmas.

Btw, Kelegacy, I started Dark Sector today. It's fantastic. I'm highly impressed with the quality of the game from the presentation and graphics to the tightness of the controls. I've never even heard of this developer before, but they did a bang up job. One of the few games outside of Gears of War that does a pretty good job with the cover system too. Lots of fun.

I'm in for one, might need a co-op buddy for this, I read the AI partner is dumb

[Mortis]

There was also DLC released (I believe it's free) that expanded the game a bit. I sold my copy before that hit, considering picking this up for that.

Edit: It is 2 co-op campaign maps and 1 MP map, still free.

[OrangePulp]

It's definitely worth 10 bucks if you've got someone to play it with. Friend and I got a fair amount of enjoyment out of it. The gold-plated minigun is pretty funny. I think he picked it up for around $20 used at a local trade-in shop.

[crazyD]

Does it have split screen co-op?

Does it have split screen co-op?


This is what I'm wondering too, if it does then I'd buy it NOW.

[EternalGamer]

I believe it does have split screen co-op.

Edit: Yes, confirmed. Video footage of split screen co-op:

FUCK YEAH! Makes me happy to turn another person onto Dark Sector, but more so that you like it.

That engine should be licensed by other companies. Add some more spice to the current gen, other than the over-used Unreal Engine 3.

I was enthralled throughout, I'll be curious to see if you are. I haven't received my extra copy yet, but hopefully it's in the mail when I get home. I also bought a bunch of other games from them recently, most $10 or so. Gamefly has some seriously great used deals, and they'll only get better with their annual end-of-year mega sale. I score a few games a year that way.

They're not just co-op maps either. I played through them in SP. It also adds an alternate ending and achievements. The original ending somewhat sucked and was non-playable. The alternate ending can be damn tough and has some achievements attached, too (like killing the boss with a certain gun and to the head as the final shot, or killing him within a time limit). I got the headshot w/the pistol achievement but didn't attempt the other one due to pure frustration factor. I also didn't have the best weapons to begin with upon entering the boss battle.

[divinechaos]

Fuck, I was hoping it wouldn't be split screen so I wouldn't have to buy even MORE games. Oh well, pay day is next week so $10 can't hurt, right?

I knew there were new achievements but I did not know those details. That is pretty sweet, the original last boss was very disappointing.

Buying more games helps the economy, and helps you avoid the winter doldrums when the new releases run out or are beaten. You are a patriot.

[Scaryfaced]

homoerotic??

You didn't read much of the about the game when it came out, did you? Apparently, the two main character's relationship throughout came off as a little...fishy to some people. I personally think they were too busy shooting golden guns and soakin up bullets to worry about a broke back situation.

The game's worth 10$. GO BUY NOW.

[crazyD]

I dunno. It may be fun playing co-op, but my roommate isn't big into shooters, so I'd probably be stuck playing alone. The price is right, but I don't think I'll bite.

Yeah, they were definitely not gay. I mean, they could have been I guess, but it's not a homoerotic game. They do nothing to make you think otherwise.

I played through the game singleplayer as Elliot Salem, the little joker guy. Used the other dude as my tank.

[rinichanraar]

What surprised me about the characters (aside from how unlikeable they were) was the way the big guy, Rios (?), was the smart one, and the small guy, Salem, was the idiot. I've always found that books, television, etc. make it the opposite. I think it's the influence of Of Mice and Men.

I never really saw them as being gay. The little guy was just trying to be too macho all the time. Or maybe it was a cover-up. I suppose there are macho gay guys out there.

Wow. A lukewarm response to a bargain? That's enough for me to stay away. I rather use that $10 for Conan or Viking...which i'm sad I haven't bought yet...

No, it's worth it, I just didn't love the game. If I had never played it, I would be buying this definitely. It's a good game if you like shooters. I did go back and replay some levels for achievements after I beat it though, and if you have a co-op partner it's supposed to be much much better.
