On Australian Prices And Shit

The only reason I’m posting here is because SW:ToR is down until about 1 and a half hours from now.
Oh BTW, review on SW:ToR to come. Until then your appetite is sated with “It’s Good”.

So anyway, Harvey has finally got with the times and is now offering games for a cheaper price, online only. Directly imported from the UK probably, but either way, it’s a whole lot better than retail.
Skyrim for $59, Deus Ex: Human Revolution for $26, and Battlefield 3 for $62. With a flat fee per game postage of something like $3.

Some prices are not better than OzGameShop, some might be, I honestly don’t care right now because I’m wallowing in the depression that is Internode got bought out by iiNet.

So Harveys fancy new slightly better priced website is super long and is is is: http://www.harveynormandirectimport.com/

And just for shits and giggles OzGameshop is: www.ozgameshop.com

Personally, I buy from whatever is the cheapest. Zavvi, Play-Asia, OzGameshop, whatever. Usually the shipping takes a long time. But at least you save yourself money. Play-Asia fortunately has choices, I usually ship via FedEx, and still save myself a healthy amount. In the process, Play-Asia gives you coupons with literally (really) every order for $5 off. Last time I got a sticker. Yes it’s awesome.

So there you have it. A shitty article, in my usual style.

Homefront Xbox 360 Review

Ok, I normally PC Game, but I wanted to play this game on a comfy chair, and use my lovely surround sound and large TV.
Sorry for those that have just lost faith in me because of the title.

I’m currently replaying Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood so I can write a review.

BUT ON TO HOMEFRONT.

It’s set in the not too distant future, North Korea has taken over the world basically, and they are fighting the yanks. The opening scene basically tells you that much, with some shit in the middle.
Watch the trailer to get a feel.

Singleplayer: excellent, very very good. But ever so short. I wont go into detail though, :spoilers:.

Multiplayer: a breath of fresh air. Xbox dedicated servers, EXCELLENTE!
Look, some people hate it, I like it. Sure the classes -may- be inbalanced. But look at it like this: in real life, you’d die from 1 or two shots generally. So it adds a little to the realism.

It’s not Call of Duty, which is good. Lol. I think it was made by a game studio that generally wanted to make a good game. I have fun on multiplayer. Teamwork generally exceeds in this game, which is another good idea. You have ranks, and save up battlepoints for vehicles. Vehicles in games are great too.

All-in-all, ignore the hype, and get the game. For $40 off Play-Asia you can’t go wrong really.

Overall: 8/10. Singleplayers short. Graphics are a little dated. And there are -some- bugs.
