Huh, I guess different Targets do their clearance differently. My local Target has a shamefully small space dedicated to 360 games, they offer about twice the selection size for PS3, Wii, and even DS. Also, I just realized the last time I was there that they keep the PS2s, PS3s, PSPs, DSs, and Wiis, all locked away behind a glass cabinet, but their 360s just sit on the shelf in the wide open, seems like somebody there is a PS3 fanboy.

I guess the limited amount of shelf space they have dedicated to 360 games is the reason I keep scoring such great deals, The Force Unleashed for $8, Left 4 Dead for $15, and now MK vs. DC for $15.

 

And now for something completely different... sort of...

I have been playing my way through Mirror's Edge lately, anybody else ever play that game? All the reviews for it are pretty mediocre, but I am really enjoying it. Not sure what people didn't like about it, maybe it just clicked with me, but I think it is absolutely brilliant. I think it deserves a lot of credit for originality, something sorely lacking games these days. Sure, the whole dystopian storyline is something we have all heard a millions times before, but it sets the mood for the game pretty nicely I think. I am not even sure how you'd categorize the game. A FPR, first-person-runner? I really like that while you have the option to disarm law enforcement officers and take their firearms, it is your choice if you want to use them or not, the whole game can be played without firing a shot, or technically every time you run up against a bunch of cops, you could take one of their guns and take each and every one of them down.

Anyway, I'd definitely recommend this game, it certainly will not be the same kind of full experience as games like Fallout 3 or GTA4, but it'll make for an exciting weekend or everyday-after-work-for-a-week-or-so experience.
