That will only get you so far. I thought Arkham Asylum was excellent. I got thrills and chills throwing batarangs, zip-lining, gliding, and sneaking on top of gargoyles.
I know amazon.com is doing some aggressive price-matching on their electronics, books, and movies/music. Check back later if you see something cheaper advertised in stores that's not as cheap at amazon.
For example, the Matrix 10th Anniversary Blu-ray (just the 1st movie of course) dropped...
http://bfads.net/ is also a good resource for Black Friday deals. I don't know what I'm going to get, maybe a laptop or Blu-Ray player. I just don't get why some blu-ray players are $99 and some $200.
Got Darth Vader in about 13 questions. The giveaway was "Is he in space?" and "Does he wear a helmet?"
Edit: The Joker in 17.
Edit2: Got Clarice Starling (from Silence of the Lambs) in 25+, including one wrong guess.
I'm assuming the people who are criticizing screenshots of NS2 never or only minimally played NS1.
I'm wondering whether or not there will be Combat play mode? I know it gets a bad rap, but I always preferred it and the fast pace as opposed to drawn-out NS mode.
After trying the Arkham Asylum demo on my PC, I really want to get it now. At least I have a giftcard for Best Buy I haven't used yet.
As for 2010, there's Guild Wars 2 and The Old Republic.
At least Michael Moore's movies get people off their lazy asses and have them actually stand for a position, for or against. No one cared about outsourcing, gun laws, Iraq War lies, or health care before his movies. They have all become prophetic and it's amusing to hear people continue to say...
I'd pick up L4D for $10, if that ever happens. I still have about $45 in Best Buy giftcards that I haven't used yet because I have no games/DVD's to buy.
