Does anyone use it? It's a lot like Netflix, but for video games.

That sounds awesome! I was going to purchase the game-rental package from Blockbuster Online, but you can only get 1 game at a time for the same price as you can get 4 movie rentals at a time. That's a shitty package if you ask me.

I think Nickenheiser used that site. Actually, I think he stole from them multiple times, but I still think the idea is solid. I've shelled out 50 clams for too many games that I played once.

Me too, I hate strapping myself with a bunch of monthly fees, but I think of the number of games I have purchased that I only played for a weekend or less. That, and there's some games I would like to have just to play them for that amount of time.

They sell games for really cheap. They're used, but you get the case and manual in great condition.

I picked up a copy of the new Simpsons (Wii version) game at Costco yesterday. I can't stop playing the fucker.

I didn't even know that was out. I played a Nintendo 64 Simpsons for 1000's of hours. How is this one?

The whole damn game is like a Simpsons cartoon. It's awesome!

I even played virtual Simpsons on the PC. For some reason playing in Springfield just can't go wrong.

B.Y., you mind elaboratin' on this? Is it just some weird virtual Simpsons world where you walk around and kick people in the sack, and eat food, or weird shit like that? I've no clue as to what this game is like, but it sounds different.

Sure Billy, you walk through different scenarios with different character groupings. I'm in a cave with bart and homer right now solving puzzles to get through. The game itself is not 3-d like the other Simpsons games but it actually looks drawn. I haven't gotten too far into it yet but if the rest of the game is like the beginning (no spoilers) I think it's gonna be a good one.

To quote Llama: "Buh?!"

Are you saying that it's a 2D side-scroller, not 3D?

Now, to quote Wedge: "Who? Wha? Where? O mi go!!!"

Not a side scroller, the game moves like a fps but everything looks hand drawn
