      Anyone know the game play time on the new Tomb Raider? And any re-playability? Still not sure I want to shell out even that much on it.

        It took me about 12 hours. I really enjoyed it. As far as replay, If you're a completionist, there's plenty to go back for. It was pretty much uncharted with better controls and a bow. I'd definitely check it out if I were you, but You'd be better served waiting till it's 25-30. Hope that helps.

        Which discount? Some are, but I think most aren't. Though, of course, local currency conversion (with appropriate regional markup) may apply.

        Have a look and see?

          I've heard the co-op is a good time. $4 for that alone seems like a no-brainer.

          It's an above-average FPS, but it's no Syndicate game. I really enjoyed it on the xbox for what it is. Cool designs too.

        I'd like to give it a try at that price, but it's US only :(

        Most services put the same games on sale internationally, so I don't know why Gamefly continue to have different sales by region. The Gamefly sales in the UK are usually rubbish, and this week is no exception. Medal of Honour (2010) for £10...

      Ugh, got Darksiders 2 only to realize my Radeon 4850 is having difficulty keeping the fps above abysmal :( I really need a new video card (and computer). It aged great for the first 2 1/2 years, but after that games have become too demanding for it.

        I find this a bit strange since Darksiders ran perfectly with max settings (not that there were many graphical options).

          Did you try running in windowed mode? Might be other tweaks as well

            I never run any game in windowed mode, this being no exception. I'm honestly thinking some combination between my aging hardware, more demanding software, and me still thinking that games haven't become THAT much more demanding, so I keep trying to run games with similar settings as I have for the past 3 years. Countering that argument, I can't even find a benchmark these days that includes my video card against current gen cards.
