Dark Sector: $20 New
EBGames.com now has the 360/PS3 title Dark Sector for $19.99 new or $17.99 used. If you go for the used version, use the coupon code CAG16 and Saver for an extra 16% off and free shipping.
Dark Sector is currently my favorite game of 2008, and it’s the most fun I’ve had with a game since Halo 3. Within minutes of finishing the game, I e-mailed the developers of the game (Digital Extremes) to tell them my thoughts, which I had never done before.
Dark Sector is everything I wish Gears of War would be. It’s just as polished and solid as Gears of War, except it has some of the most inventive systems for weapon management and enemies that I’ve ever seen. It reminds me of a mix between Gears of War, Resident Evil, and Metal Gear Solid…and that’s a very good thing to be a mixture of. I’m hoping to do a review of the game some time in the future as well, but for now, you can download a demo of it for free off of Xbox Live. This game is a must for my collection.
By the way, Condemned 2: Bloodshot is also $19.99 new over at GameStop.com, but it is currently sold out. It’s $19.99 in stores though, or you can pick up a used copy for $17.99.

It is. It’s like Gears of War, except it has an awesome story that you actually experience, and there is way more creativity in DS than in GoW.

I thought the Gears of War story was good..the problem was only getting two seconds of it. Gears two will have a deeper story.

Do I dare trust Cleric in his judgement of this game……How did this game escape me?, where are the reviews and feedback from gamers on this.
I’m tempted to check this game out.

I don’t think there is any way you won’t like Dark Sector. I can’t wait to get my copy and play through it again. When I was playing it, I felt bad it slipped by me, and I never said a word about it before its release on my site.

Yes, you should feel completely awful for causing another DE game to flop.
