No idea, I just did the trivia since it was easy.
EDIT: there are 24. 12 points for trivia, 12 for the photo challenges (take a picture of ___).

Amazon still hasnt given me a code. Can you go back and do previous weeks trivia?

That horrifying 'spike' death will surely have me intentionally dying here and there just to see what kind of gruesome things they have waiting for bad players, lol
If I can enjoy the Dead Space death montages on YouTube, I'm sure there will be a lot for me to like in Tomb Raider.
Haha, and then we will need someone to eventually create a montage of the multiple deaths in re4, Dead Space and Tomb Raider. All in one.
Better than UC's mp? I really liked that, anxious to give this a try.
Also, cool to hear about the OST. I think Jason Graves is doing it, who did the moody Dead Space soundtracks.

How recently did you order? My code came 5 minutes after I pre-ordered.
Huh? This is the e-mail I got when I pre-ordered last night:
Amazon said:
Even though it says $44.99, it was $33.74 with the CAGROCKS.

So, have we gotten a solid answer yet on when Amazon will give out the Steam keys?

Yeah, that's what it says on Amazon's page to buy the game.
I guess I was thinking of other sites that give it out earlier (even if they say when it releases). But if that's what they normally do, then I guess there's no reason to expect it earlier.

I was referring to the code for the scavenger hunt game.
Glad to hear.
With Mirror's Edge they got her onto the project when most of the story had already been done and she had to fix all the problems with it and try and patch it up in the short time before release. Not to mention that nobody even bothered telling her that they were gonna go with cartoon cutscenes (she didn't find out until playing the final product, I think) and that pretty much all the in-game dialogue she wrote for the game (which would've given further insight into the characters and given the story more depth) got cut out shortly before release. So Mirror's Edge's story being terrible is not her fault. It's DICE's.
In that case I haven't heard shit about a Scavenger Hunt code.

I wasn't planning to buy any new games until TLoU but you guys are making that very difficult for me. The question is do I get this or BioShock Infinite?
Oh right, I didn't know that. Maybe she'll have another chance with Mirror's Edge 2 (if DICE get around to making it).
Bioshock Infinite. But, then again, Bioshock is my favourite game of this generation, so I might be a little biased.
Tomb Raider still looks great, though. Get both if you can.

its sitting in my cart for 28$ should i proceed ?
Thank God I already pre-ordered Heart of the Swarm last year and got that chunk of change out of the bank account, now I don't have to think about it.
So now I can get BioShock Infinite without feeling guilty.

Hmm now there's an idea. How much credit do you generally get for trading in a game within a week or two of its release?
For that price, fuck yeah!!

The game is brilliant. That is all.
Usually around 30-35, but you'd get an added % I'm sure if it is towards an upcoming release like Bio. GS'es always have that going on.
If it's the PC version then you may as well.

I'll let you know my overall thoughts once I complete it before getting my review posted! Should be tonight I finish or tomorrow.
Pick it up at the Microsoft Store (if you're on 360).
It's $60, but you get $20 in MS points, which you could sell.

Dammit, fine, you guys win. I'll pre-order from the MS Store and then trade it in for BioShock Infinite.
I HOPE YOU'RE HAPPY GAF.
If you're going to trade it in after finishing, maybe just rent it for a week? Gamestop trade in values suck bad, haha.

Yeah I don't intend to keep it around. Lemme see what rental options I have available, from what I can tell it's pretty much just Redbox around here.
God of War: Ascension? Gears of War: Judgement?
Metro: Last Light is still scheduled for a March release, but it is very very unlikely to be released by then. I'm guessing it will be delayed by a few months.
That's all I can think of at the moment.

How far am I?
at the moment.
I don't think I will need 10 hours to finish the story ..
"Chasm Monastery"
I don't think I will need 10 hours to finish the story ..
Yep if I weren't a part of the PC Master Race I'd get it from Redbox for a few days. Two bucks a day, should be able to finish it pretty easily within 4 or 5 days. Much better than a $60 purchase and a $24 trade-in to the GS.
Stop and smell the dirty, blood covered roses. Do a few dungeons, etc.I don't think I will need 10 hours to finish the story ..

No PS3 install, thank you CD!
Those two are going to be summer pickups for me after price drops, so I think I'll bite on TR/Bioshock.
The only thing I'm worried about with TR is replayability. I feel like I'll play it once and forget about it.
Well there's a switch. Not used to that.

I actually have loved going back to explore and find the stuff. I'm not sure what the GPS caches are for, but the relics I enjoy cause Lara talks about them a bit. It's fun and leads to exploring parts of the map you might have missed.
Based on what I watched, that's only like 3 hours in. You're not finishing tonight. Unless there's more than one

Opps I might be confusing it then with this other area I'm at.

Cool. I can't stop playing...it's too good! But I don't want to rush through this game
The tombs remind me of the "riddler rooms" in Arkham City. They are quite easy but well integrated and atmospheric.
Edit: yeah I'm about 3-4 hours in...sounds good!
