It was a really fun action/adventure game. It also had some stealth in it.

It looks more like some sort of cartoon I've seen before.

It does look a bit cartoon-like. It was fun though. It had its challenges.

(I'm gonna get "Army of two" and "Army of Two: 40th Day" for my next games. They've gone pretty cheap.)

Do that, and give me a review on it.  I looked, but didn't buy when it came out.

A review on what? The Army of two series? I got the first one for 360, it's actually quite fun. Only down side is it's a little on the short side.

By now they're pretty cheap new. I want them. I never got them when they came out. The cut scenes to that game are amazing. I'm starting to regret not getting them, but with the prices on them now they shouldn't be more than $12-$20.

I have a gamestop around here I trust. They actually keep the new games sealed in the packages, whick I like. A few I went to at the mall would break the seal and remove the discs from their cases, then store them in a backroom. Well how the fuck is that "new"?!

I ended up paying $60 for a "new" disc that had fuckin' scratches on it!

Yeah, they're opening the original cases and storing the games in their own paper cases until someone buys them. That's not new.

They're doing it to "prevent shoplifting". It ends up fucking people over in the end though. You pay $60 for a game that's not really new. They SAY its new.

See where I got they have got the cases on display. That's normal, most of those are of used games any way that someone has traded in. If I buy a new game I hand them the case they go behind the counter open up a shelf and pull out the new game. It's wrapped and all, I've been to quite a few Gamestop's. Some do it that way, then others do it the fucked up way.

I really don't see how they can get away with that.

The one I go to puts empty cases on display and pull out wrapped games from behind the counter. Others open the actual game cases.

Well, look here.  They OWN the games until you buy it from them.  They have every legal right to do with them what they want while they own them.

Is it ethical ?  Not really.  A crime ?  No.

You can't say that an opened case is new though. Only when the factory seal is on the case can a game really be new.

I don't think it's right, and I don't think they should be able to do it. I'd never buy anything new that's been used, if it's open and being shown as new the price should be lower.
