Save 50% on Homefront on Steam
One of this weekend’s deals on Steam is Homefront marked down 50% to $24.99. Besides the fact that this sucks because it’s not an indie game (fine Andy, I’m a game hipster), it’s also a terrible game. Do not get it. I played through it, and maybe parts of it are a little fun, so if it ever goes on sale for $2, then it might be time to pick it up. Maybe. But it’s definitely not worth $24.99.
Also, keep in mind that when I say it is worth $2, I’m actually very biased in its favor; THQ threw an awesome party for Homefront at E3 2010 that I attended. With that tidbit in mind, maybe it wouldn’t even be worth $2 to someone who wasn’t brainwashed.

Game Boyz Rate of Previews
Has anyone noticed how much coverage gaming sites like Joystiq and IGN are doing of E3 still? Very little? Yes, because E3 has been over for a while. Unfortunately, I still have a lot of stories to write about E3. Also, it has seemed strange to me that Kirby complained about how busy Trevor and he was at E3, yet I hardly see any posts from people besides me.
As it turns out, they think I’m posting too fast despite the fact that I’m posting one or two day per day as Trevor suggested. Kirby now wants me to post one preview every two or three days. The problem is that my previews of Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode 1, Pac-Man Battle Royale, and Epic Mickey have pushed the preview of “high profile” games like EA Sports NBA Elite 11 to the bottom of the preview page. I thought I was doing the world a favor by pushing that down anyways. I posted two previews on the 27th, one on the 26th, one on the 23rd, and one on the 22nd. I wasn’t really going that fast.
I guess I’ll slow down though. The site was going to down today for upgrades, but that’s been pushed to tomorrow. I guess that means I can post on the 5th after I’m back from Anime Expo. Well everyone, if you want to read up-to-the-minute up-to-the-day up-to-the-week up-to-the-couple-months coverage of E3, we have you covered.
