John, picked mine up for R265 from Takealot.

BTW - seen the new Trials HD: Evolution trailer? My wife is already putting clauses on my game time with it.

Hi John

Buy Microsoft Points & Xbox LIVE Gold subscriptions - MSPoints.co.za has some nice specials now and then, there live gold package goes for R350, bit more than takelot.

Thanks lads = I think it is going to be MSPoints for R345 - Takealot is out of stock!

@Gamos = is it out yet (trials2) ? My router is at the top end of the house - as my secondary phone jack is stuffed and telkom is refusing to fix for some reason. So my 360 can't pick up a signal

.

Edit: seems like they got stock again (Take2) - got it for R265........

I canna believe they STILL don't have Pinball FX2 on the ZA servers. Number 1 or 2 played XBLA title - and it still isn't on the local servers. asshats.........

I'm just going to take this moment again to say that local PSN shits completely all over local Xbox Live. You'd think they would at least apply some form of effort, considering the subscription based service and all.

In this case I couldn't agree more. Total Lemon I bought into.

Did anyone play the first Shank? I only got as far as the demo - any good (full version that is?).

Alan Wake American Nightmare.

Controls are smooth as silk, graphics on par with a retail release, and classic Alan Wake everything (including finding pages and shining baddies to death). I was impressed enough to unlock it.

Keen on picking this up, but I need to finish the original game's dlc first.

Ditto.

Anyone purchase "I am Alive"? Downloaded the demo. Looks to be quite good. Some interesting mechanics with the stamina. It got some good reviews, but it also got some terrible reviews.

**Gamos** · 28-03-2012, 05:21 PM

I tried the I am Alive demo, and thought it quite clever - then it froze my Xbox. Haven't touched it since.

It feels a bit Lara Croft meets Survival game.

It was a pity I was looking forward to it....

Depending on how Uncharted 3 goes this weekend I might get it. I like the Stamina mechanic in the game. Something innovative for a change (it also makes sense).

I unlocked it this weekend after playing the demo and enjoying it. Only wish it was a bit longer, felt it was a bit short.

Yeah, it's a bit cheap on the execution/design, but for R120 it's a nice in-between experience. And the graphics and controls are really great.

I finished the I am alive demo, and must say that the video released last E3, was better than this game turned out. Sadpants.
