My first experience with Halo was when I was 17, watching my boyfriend play this “AWESOME NEW GAME[!!!]” on his new Xbox that he had waited inline all night at Walmart to get.
Sure, the game was cool to watch, but at that time, I was more interested in impressing the boy with my ability to hang-out on the couch and watch him and his friends play hours and hours and hours of the game.
Occasionally, I would manage to wrench the controller from his sweaty, pale hands and get a couple of shots in. But, for the most part, my job …read more

Think you might have a use for $5,000?
Do you have Halo 3: ODST and has it wormed its way into your heart?
Well, you’re in luck since GameStop is holding a Halo 3: ODST tournament called “Melee in Manhattan” in over 2,200 of their stores across the country.
The whole thing kicks off October 2nd and after much battling, 16 finalists will be sent to New York in December with the big winner really winning big with the Grand Prize being the 5k in cash that I mentioned.
Now, you have to be at least 17 since, though I know there are some …read more

It’s been a big week for me up in Canada – first I found out that I’m getting a GameStop store in a new mall that opens in my area next month.  I’m THRILLED.  Then I got this awesome email from GameStop about a great deal for us Canucks up north.  Want the new GI: Joe video game?  You can get it for FREE if you trade in three select games.

There are a lot of other deals going on too so the best thing to do is head over to GameStop.ca and find out what else you can cash in …read more

UFC Undisputed 2009 will go on sale at select Gamestop Stores at 12:01 am this Tuesday, May 19th. I’m still up in the air about ordering or buying this just yet. It’s not that I don’t want to play it, because I really do.
It’s just that it’s hard enough to find the time in the day to do the things I already do. Trying to throw time in there somewhere to play another video game may be hard. Perhaps if I get it and play it with my son it will ignite an interest in the sport and he’ll want …read more

There’s been bad news for Wii coveters here recently.
Times were looking bleak. You’ve searched all of the stores, you’ve called everyone you know, you’ve even considered Ebay.
Still, no Wii.
Don’t despair good readers.
Nintendo America and GameStop are coming together to offer rain checks. If you “pay the full price of about $249 for an out-of-stock Wii on December 20 and 21 at retailer GameStop Corp, [you] will get a certificate promising a Wii sometime in January.”
I know this sucks just a tiny bit.
You were hoping to wake up Christmas morning and race down to find the Wii that Santa …read more
