I almost got this game yesterday,

But I'm not used to the huge price diffrence between PC games and console ones and I wasn't ready to pay so much for it.

I only played NFS Underground 2 and I loved it. The 1st time I started playing it, I thought I was only playing for a short while but when I looked at the clock I saw I was playing for 5 hours. It's so addictive.

I'll give this one a try when the price drops a bit. Or when I get a job...

love love love it.

alright now that ive recovered from hysterical fits of laugher thanks to the blooper reel i shall comment.

first of all *bows to the awesomeness that is Angela and Tracy* .. so so HAPPY that you reviewed NFS : D .. it made my heart happy. although now i will continue to live in fear of the dreaded frame rate complication. ive had this game for two days now and I AM LOVING IT! .. i actually like this a whole lot more than most wanted. the after market customization options are endless and i think i have spent more time doing body mods to my car than i have racing. Anybody considering getting this for the Wii should totally do it and get the wheel while you are at it, its AWESOME! also the shane rating was genius.. it is fast and does handle well lol .. although i cant believe Tracy went the entire vlog and didnt even tell us what kind of cars she was driving.. now i will forever wonder if you are an Aston Martin girl or a Lamborghini girl lol

anyway i wish you both the merriest of christmases and happiest of holidays .. to you and the little dog too ; )

p.s. - yes Gryphie's pout does work on everybody.. if she denies it.. dont believe her lol

 

Gryphie's picture

I have to say....

Your begging/cute pic worked.  I'm impressed lol.  I also have to tell you - NFS rocks!  I logged an insane amount of hours playing it last night and like you I think I probably spent more time doing things to my car than I did doing anything else.  I don't have the wheel for it... Do you think I should pick one up?

And you know full well that I'd never deny the power of the pout  ;)

 

ufos_are_real's picture

custom cars are sexy

hmm.. im going to take a long shot here and guess that you painted at least one of your cars somewhere between royal and navy blue? lol ; )  .. am i right??  .. what are you driving by the way? .. im so glad to hear you enjoyed NFS though.. wait did we just agree on something? lol  ... but yes you should absolutely invest in the wheel .. i picked up a wheel at EBGames for like 10 bucks and it was totally worth it.. i love it, its awesome .. and there were two very cute girls working at the video game store so that was a plus : )

and i know you dont deny the power of the pout.. i just wondered if you would try and deny it to get out of having to show Angela and Tracy  ; )

Gryphie's picture

My god....

You're brilliant!  Or I'm just that easy to read lol.  Yes, one of my cars is painted a nice shade of blue.  For the most part I've been driving a Mitsubishi Lancer... Not sure why I haven't picked much else.  Any suggestions?

 

I would never deny Angela or Tracy anything.

A Mitsubishi Evo

crashed into my neighbours house and trashed both their cars, I never did like them.
Gryphie's picture

....

Can we edit comments on this thing?  Because I lied... It's a Mitsubishi Eclipse GT. 

 

Crashed right into the house eh?  Damn.

ufos_are_real's picture

canadians eh? he he he

you did lie. shame on you lol  and no you are not easy to read.. i just sometimes pay attention lol.. seems you have good taste though because i started off with an Eclipse also .. then i bought the Shelby Cobra (meh .. its alright) .. but my current favourites that i am running include the Lotus Elise (fucking amazing looking car.. with great handling) .. but if you want a pocket rocket with great handling then you can never go wrong with the Porche Cayman .. the only problem with this car is that Autosculpt wont let you drop the spoilers down so any spoiler sits too high and ruins the look .. but now i have to start conserving funds as i wait in eager anticipation for when my Corvette becomes available : D  ... anyway keep me posted Gryph ; )

Haven't got much to add

Thanks for another awesome

Thanks for another awesome review, girls :)

The bloopers were priceless. I love bloopers :p Made me laugh a lot so thanks for that.

I hope the cute little dog enjoyed the apple...lol I had visions of the tree behind you suddenly tipping slowly sideways, attached to an intrigued doggie. It may have made for another funny blooper...lol

I have to agree with you that you need to be honest in reviews. There's no point just saying "we didn't really think it was great but you might," and not giving your thoughts about it or your personal insight into it. That wouldn't make it much of a review. Sure, everybody likes different things, but it's also good to have reviews from many different sources to consider. One reviewer might rave about a game, while another will point out its flaws. That's why, in general, it's best not to judge a reviewer harshly as it's up to the viewer/reader to have the intelligence to realise it's just one person's point of view, and that they're free to read as many differing views on a particular game as they see fit :)

In short...you do a fine job at what you do, so it's all good :p

Oh, and Gran Turismo = love 

I sincerely hope you both have a very happy xmas and break. Hope to see more from you soon, especially now I'm able to watch more often :p

I will miss you both!

My dear friends, I am so glad that I stumbled upon your vlog this past year - it has brightened every Tuesday since.  Thank you for amusing us all and enlightening us every week with your wisdom.  I shall miss you during your break ... but it is well deserved.  What a great season of episodes!

Happy Holidays, thanks for all the shout-outs ... and I ANXIOUSLY await the new season.

May your maple syrup be plentiful.

love the vlog

and love the bloopers.  I'm adding NFS to my "to play list" because of your review... i'm not one for racing games at all either... so this one might be worth a shot. 

Have a great Christmas... and i'll talk to you during our zombie shooting verus match coming up in a few days.  It's amazing how much of my gaming time has been consumed by Left 4 Dead... and how one game can never get boring.  I can't wait to play a large versus mode with people who aren't 13year old boys who are insulting and rude.

Huzzah for racing games!

Happy Holidaze ladies!  Pardon my font, but I learned a hard lesson last week, when I wrote a reply to your vlog (two point two one JAZZ SEIZURE HANDS), and I must admit it was well thought out and witty, and …ok, it was none of that, but I went to post, and the internets ate it. (I think I timed out my login, m’kay?).  Anyway, at the time, I just didn’t have the energy to try and repost. That said, thanks for the lovely holiday episode.  I love Angela’s Yoda mugshot shirt. Awesome!  And thanks to Tracy for wearing that hat in the middle of an Australian summer. Good on ya!  As for the dog, I used to think I was an Angela gamer, but it has become clear that my only gaming skills are probably more in tune with Huxley’s (“Throw the ball! C’mon, throw the ball! Throw the apple! I don’t care!!!!).  So maybe Tristen can get to work (when time allows, of course) on a Huxley Gamer T-shirt.  ; )

 

As a big fan of driving games, I am glad to hear your positive review of NFSU, and that it will be available on many platforms.  And last but not least, that blooper footage was hilarious, and I so look forward to Gay Girls Who Game in the new year.  Thanks to Angela, Tracy, their many sets and props, and the dogs, for bringing us two whole “seasons” of gaming news, reviews and subversive subtitles. Yay!

Merry Xmas

Hey ladies, loved the vlog today.

Right where to start, Mirrors Edge its def a game you either love or hate, i wouldnt say i loved it, even though i played it nonstop till i finished it, it was pretty cool but way to short and no lasting value i feel coz the online is basically the same thing youve just played just as time trials.

I am in shock that home is up and running, even though it is terrible (first time on it i had a guy on there trying to talk to me asking me 'how far ive been with a man' hmm my reply was 'ive been nowhere with a man im a lesbian' then quickly ran off somewhere else, i figure that home is gonna be full of skanky men trying pull a chick until they have full set it up which wont be for ages, i only go on home if my mates are on now).

Yay to the Silent Hill being a good game to movie, the movie was amazing and im so happy they stayed true to the original game, OHMYGOD 1 more day till i get Silent Hill :Homecoming.

Need for speed was pretty cool i guess, loads of things wrong with it which you pointed out esp on the ps3 the loading, it loaded on EVERY race, i really likes the cut scences with the live action gave it a little something else, such a shame your not a woman i really thought you were gonna be that maggie girl from Die Hard 4 nevermind.

At the mo im playing Alone In The Dark i know that its been slated (i got a ps3 mag the other day and they gave it something like 60/100, i love it i think its so clever with everything you can do, im really enjoying it.

Right better be off now coz im nearly finished with Alone In The Dark, making room for my Silent Hill woohoo anyway the bloopers were wicked i was crying with laughter you two are brilliant, have a great xmas and a fantastic new year, looking forward to season 3.

xxxxxx Amy xxxxxx

Thanks for making my christmas happier! As I am very far from home. Off to play my new ratchet and clank game I bought for the psp as a christmas present for myself:) Happy Holidays!
Gryphie's picture

Ok....

So two things. 

One:  I will be picking up an XBox as soon as I have enough cash on hand.  Apparently it doesn't take a whole lot to convince me lol.  

 

Two:  The bloopers were hilarious.  I'm glad that I'm not the only one who gets a serious case of the giggles when there's a camera on me  lol.

 

I hope you both had a wonderful holiday.  See you in the new year  :)

Excellent way to end Season 2

Another fun vlog as always, ladies. I will try to keep my tears to a minimum that you won't be gracing us with your presence until 2009.

Tracy- Don't be hating on my spreadsheet, it worked quite well :)

Angela- Now we know who the giggler is.... you!

Need for Speed Undercover looks like a good rental, but i hate it when games have framerate issues, so that might just drive me nuts.

I have to give a shoutout to Tristen, who sent me the awesome hat that is now my AE avatar.. thanks Tristen!

I hope you ladies have a good Christmas and New Years, and hopefully we can get more zombie slaying fun in (because nothing says "Happy Holidays" like killing some zombies.)
