That's such an amazingly good deal. I think I might just bite on it. OP, you're 100% correct; those are the only two games worth getting. I think I'm gonna go for it; Sleeping Dogs was pretty good from what I played of the brief demo and since I played and loved Darksiders, Darksiders II is a no brainer. The best two retail games of August for sure.
I already have MP3, ME3, and MW3 but it doesn't work on my Xbox (it's my bro's game which works on his girlfriend's Xbox). In fact, I might grab them tomorrow during my class break even though my wallet's going to take a massive beating from it.

Eh, not much worth getting besides darksider 2. I guess I'll hold off for now.
MP3 will drop more and more soon. Darksiders 2 is the way to go, especially at this price so soon.
MP3 is awesome too, though.

What's wrong with Max Payne 3 and Darksiders II?

What is wrong about one of the best games this year?

Darksiders 2 and Sleeping dogs for me. Damn nice.
Very bad games, 2 of the worst of the year so far as far as AAA releases go.

I can't justify any of them... I'd like Prototype 2 & Sleeping Dogs, but I have a super huge back log.
I reviewed Darksiders II & loved it, so much so that I bought it to support THQ & gave my extra away to a friend.

Most likely going to get DS2 and Sleepy Dogs.

There should be more tampons in gaming
This is some great advice right here, I was about to tell him the same exact thing
Not enough bullet sponge enemies and it needs more shitty hit detection in its gunplay.

I can't speak to what his problems are with it, but it was a highly stylized game and that can be divisive. Sort of the 'Drive' of video games you could say.
I personally loved it though. The soundtrack and visuals and everything were perfect for me(on 360). Gunplay was solid and there were only a few parts that that AI seemed overly cheap/hard.

Awesome. I was about to pay $50 to have Mass Effect 3 imported to Japan. I think I'll pick up ME3 and Sleeping Dogs. I'm playing through Darksiders 1 right now. It's good, but I'm in no rush to start part 2.
For those who have played Spider-Man -- is it a good screw-around game? I know it's not fantastic, but is it fun to just pop in and play for 30 minutes or so?

Max payne 3 is really good and multiplayer going to give you a lot of additional hours to play. I didn´t play Darksiders 2 yet.

I originally was considering Darksiders 2 and Sleeping Dogs, but it sounds like DS2 is loaded with game breaking bugs. Is that the case? Not sure if I should grab Max Payne 3 instead because of all the bug talk. DS2 looks so good though!

I loved the original DS, but the second one is loaded with tons and tons of empty space. Inside of dungeons it's fine, but everywhere else is just so blahhhhh. Far too many fetch quests as well. Pretty disappointed with the game, but haven't experienced any game-breaking bugs.
There are some, but it's not loaded with them. I'm most of the way through my second playthrough and haven't encountered one.
Get it, it's a great game.
A lot of titles appear to be sold out online. And they won't let you know if they're available at your local store. Typical TRU bullshit. People on CAG, however, have gone to Walmart with the TRU paper ad and got their deal matched. So it seems that Walmart would be the best place to go for this deal. Now the problem is actually GOING to Walmart...

Max Payne does have way too many cutscenes. But for a pure gameplay standpoint I think it absolutely wrecks the Uncharted series. And damn at those animations.

Yup, might want to hit this early if you can. Got the last Darksiders 2 and the second to last Sleeping Dogs. I heard some people were having luck with Walmart price matching. Mine wouldn't though.

The TRU i went to was out of Sleeping Dogs so I just picked up an ad at the front and pricematched at Walmart.
That's crap. Walmart says they can match ANY price GUARANTEED. You should go back and complain.

The TRU is about 20 minutes away and she said it wasn't local enough. I started to push it, but before that when I was showing her their website on my phone she told me, "I don't know how to work those fancy new phones." Didn't think it was worth it at that point lol. Sad part is I called and the csr told me they would accept it before I made the trip in.
I always request to speak to a manager when that happens. No offense but CSRs usually don't understand anything

Dude, she was their manager lol. Good ol' Tennessee. At least it's pretty here.

Went to two Toys R' Us today, one had no Darksiders and ran out of Sleeping Dogs right when I got there. Another one didn't even have the PS3 version of SD listed in the store. Just gave up after that.

I tried pricematching at my Walmart that's like 2 minutes away from me with the ad on my iPhone (my local newspaper didn't come with a Toys 'R Us ad) and I had no luck after speaking to the manager. Sadly, they didn't have Sleeping Dogs, but the clerk I first spoke to was fine with pricematching the deal for both Darksiders 2 and Prototype 2 then she had to double check with the manager. I was told that they don't price match bundle deals yet they will for individual game sales.
So I ended up driving to a Toys 'R Us about 10 or so miles away and got those two games. This one didn't have Sleeping Dogs either. Overall it went pretty well.

So, chasing after this deal was a bit weird. I first called the closest Toy R Us (not close at all) and asked the video game guy if they were having this deal. He didn't know, apparently. He put me on and hold and eventually told me that they were having this deal but the titles I wanted were not available for PS3 (SD, DSII). Not that they weren't in -- but that the deal only applied to the Xbox version of those games. I told him that I felt that was incorrect -- he said it was correct. I asked him if he would go verify that -- he proceeded to tell that he was a "PS3" gamer and that he knows what he is talking about. It sounded odd -- but what are you going to do? The next closest Toys R Us (not close at all) didn't have copies of the game. I called Walmart and asked if they would price match -- they said yes. I stood in line for twenty minutes before the lady told me I needed the paper ad; I proceeded to tell her: No, I don't. It took a younger worker to come in and tell her that the ad on my phone was appropriate. Turns out they were all out of Sleeping Dogs. Finally, I call Best Buy (across fucking town). They said they would price match and put the only copy of each game on hold for me. I went and picked up both for $30 each.
1st world problems. Good deal, though.

If I wasn't addicted to Guild Wars 2 at the moment, I would jump on DS2 and Sleeping Dogs.
