HOLY CRAP. You know, right when I saw the first Redbox, the first thing that came to my mind was "They need to do this with video games." I'm glad somebody figured out that no-brainer! I wonder if they'll only cost $1/day like the movies. Either way, I hope this turns out to be a successful business model for them and they start offering a LOT more than just a few video games at a time. Maybe a spin-off chain called "Bluebox" or something. Just game-specific vending machines. Maybe then someone could finally put everybody's favorite greedy, fascist corporation out of business. ;D *cough*GameStop*cough*

$2 a day. ::)

$2 a day, to rent a game. Hopefully they get some catalog titles in for cheaper prices like $2 for new, $1 for catalog.

RedBox started doing games less then a week ago around here, infact Duke Nukem was the first game I rented from it. And I'm glad I did because Personally I hated the game.

I'm glad you like it and that there are some other people out there that like it as well. But I just couldn't get into it at all.

First off I do want to say that I was never a big Duke fan, I played Duke 3D when I was in high school and thought it was alright. So I went into this game with no expectations, I was just "okay lets try this game that people have been talking about for 15 years". Also I'm not a CoD fan at all.

So from a Non-Duke fan I thought the whole story (or lack there of) was pretty lame, the dialog & jokes reminded me of high school (which could be a good or bad thing, more bad for me), the 360 version had really bad frame rate issues, and the load times, even when installed on the hard-drive took almost a min. I had no issue with the gameplay in the game, but over all that was only meh at best. The game also started off really slow and seemed to take along time to get up and running (It still didn't feel like it was at full when I quit) I was also pretty annoyed with the aiming system, it seemed like I could be pointing right at the guy and the gun would still miss. :/

In the end it just boiled down to the fact I was just not having any fun with the game, I got maybe a 1/4 done with it before I just gave up and sent the game back.

In then end I think I had offically put up with Duke Nukem long enough, and now this game can go away FOREVER! Hope the franchise has better luck in another 15 years.

Doom:
If anyone's thinking of trying it, be sure to wait. Not many people like the game; it will drop in price very quickly.
