Dunno. Hard to tell. Maybe Croft thinks its american dollars.
 the 1$ is canadian, so its 1.50$ US. Which would be.. ?? 105p ? if 1$ is 70p, then 1.50 would be 105p right? Half of 70 is 35, + 70 = 105 Taxes extra

Well, close enough.
Either way, you got a bad deal there, dude. |

Pence? Is that like pennies?
What country currency is this anyways?? I know I had a bad deal, but like I said. It was either the 1 buck or it would stay at the back of my room until a later time it would get traded in and would be worth nothing. |

I probably would've kept it, myself--in case, at some distant future point, I decided to play it again. I would imagine you've probably played it about a gzillion times, though.
I haven't even finished it once....

Most games I have/bought/will buy I'll trade it in (or return it, if its in the "return policy" time frame (10-20 days) when I played it too many times. I usually finish a game (no codes) in a day or two.
But some games are keepers Like C&C Red Alert 2. 007 Night Fire would be a keeper but on the "fence" so to speak. Its a fun game, short but fun.And It's bond The game proves it to you. (xray specs and looking at a women will reveal... their.. em.. underwear).Ofcourse, Lots of kissing scenes. (wouldnt be a bond movie without a bond girl) and em. adult "hints". Like Bond is walking in the jungle, behind a girl. The girl says the view is stricking (nice scenery) and Bond agrees... but its not for the same reason... :/ I usually skip the movies I like the "end game" movie. its awesome. You see it on the commercials. Bond escapes the defense platform (escape pod) and the defense platform goes boom Downloaded a demo yesterday. It's called "Gun Metal" (some sites have it as "Gunmetal"). It's awesome. Its a small demo (only 1 mission). Its, basicly, a military "transformers" meets "power rangers". You're a huge robot that can transforms into a jet fighter at will (well, you're will to push the button ). Its awesome. I keep playing the level over and over again. I got it from Nvidia's webpage. Its a whoping 115MB but thats no prob for a god (internet connection poll-related joke)Took me 5 minutes to download it

I won't trade in a game unless I absolutely hate it (and sometimes not even then). I have a hard time parting with games I enjoy, no matter how many times I might have played them. I figure, at some point, I'll probably want to go through them again just for nostalgia's sake.

really? wow.
I'd rather trade in the game (and get store credit) rather than leaving it in my cd tower at the back of my room. |

Well, I've had a couple of occasions when I sold games I had finished, and I later wished I hadn't. Sometimes it's nice to go back through games after not having played them for awhile, especially a long while...

Hehe.
I bought the sims games (original, Living large and House Party) twice (returned them each time).After House party, it took Maxis time to release another expanison so I returned the games. But I bought em again for the new expansion (at the time, Hot Date). Then I returned them again and a few months after, Vacation is announced and released. So I bought them AGAIN! I wanted to try the latest expansion "Unleashed" (with pets). But I dont play The Sims. I just try out the new expansion for a day or two and it sits there for god only knows how long. |

The Sims was more of a "Playing God" experience. And I didn't like it.
Also, you basicly sit at the screen waiting for something to happen while directing your Sims to interactions and stuff... :/ In one word, Boring! (for me...) |

It's very good. Nice smooth graphics, nice atmosphere, and good action throughout the levels(damn them orcs!
) You get special features like interviews for doing special things(getting your character to level 5) There is even a secret mission's and one has a special character.(Don't know who it is as I haven't gotten it yet) Plus, you get movie scenes as cutscenes, which is pretty cool.

Yah, the graphics on consoles are awesome.
Unreal Championship for xbox looks awesome, but now the consoles have like 2 joysticks... makes it confusing :/ |

Maybe. But which did you start using first and use most often? (pc or console, kb or js)
I could handle the N64 controller. 1 joystick and 1 "d-pad" (up, down,left, right arrows) that do the same thing. The joystick has the same purpose as the dpad (forward, back, left, right..). So it wasnt much of a problem. And the c-pad (yellow arrows) had (mostly) camera angles. (except for Zelda games... afak which had the ability to bind weapons to..) But now you have 2 joysticks that moves the player and "free look". Not to mention all the hidden buttons :/ Bringing us back to UC (Championship). I had the look and walk down but I had no clue how to shoot. Only to find out there are 2 buttons hidden on the controller. Well.. not "hidden" but it was like an E (the middle - was smaller than the top and bottom - so it was "concealed" "hard to see".. ) Not to mention the buttons were reveresed (right was primary, left was secondary.. mouse its the opposite (left primary, right secondary or "alternative fire") I hear they made a kb for the PS2. My sis' bf had some wierd connection wire that looked like a ps/2 wire (what you find on keyboards before USB and after SERIAL ports). but the interior plug was not the right one. I'm guessing Microsoft will release a keyboard for the XBOX some time. But then, will there be a "cheating" issue? Keyboards are easier to handle than controllers (for the general population....). Cause, take me for example, it doesnt take a rocket scientist to figgure out that I'll do better with a keyboard than a controller The graphics are amazing for any console. (GC, PS2, XBOX). Well.. The new "Zelda" game for GC looks.. wierd... more cartoonish than the n64 versions. How many bits is the GC anyways? I know the N64 was 64bits (gasp! I never knew that...  ). I'm guessing 128?

I seem to find that in most of the games I play, the second joystick has no assigned use. Then, on the few others, it can be used for the "free look" thing, but that function can (usually) just as easily be assigned somewhere more convenient. Then I've had a couple of games where it was only used to open and navigate menus. I eventually get used to any control system, though...
...except Tomb Raider. That stuff is just murder... |

I still prefer a keyboard. imho, it has the most customizability (is that even a word??) options than joysticks. Not to mention more buttons I saw a game preview for the XBOX. It's a mech warrior-type game (mechs, blah blah). it comes with a new controler with 50 BUTTONS!!! You got acceleration, brakes and strafe pedals. You got a gear shift, buttons to order your wingmen and team to do whatever. The thing is just huge. They copied the game controls. Like the drivers seat of the mech. (you see the mech's controls ingame, it matches the new controller.. so when a screen button blinks, the controller one will blink too). I was shocked but fascinated at the same time. The developpers actually took the time to make the game "feel" right.
