What is your most recent VG purchase?

[Redd]

That sales going on right now? Does Toys R Us carry Ninja Gaiden Swords and TWEWY? Now I'm upset I got Professor Layton earlier.

[Gaming_Bum]

the sale is going on until saturday. TWEWY? As for dragon sword, yeah they are selling it online. as for instores, you'll have to check. My toys r us was wiped out

[Vaikyuko]

TWEWY = The World Ends With You.

...is there anything else it could have been? :unsure:

[Bezerker]

Thanks to Toys R Us I got Rock Band for PS2 for $110 and a silver PStwo for $40. I'll probably be selling the PS2 to offset the price of Rock Band.

Luckily the PS2 accessories work with the PS3. I've already got the PS3 disc, so I should be good.

[Holy Knight]

Bought Shadow of the Colossus a few days ago. Definitely loving it even though I'm only one hour and 3 Colossi into it. However, I don't really see why it's so highly praised as all you're doing is killing 16 giants. Yes, the battles are epic, but that's about it. Maybe I'll get it later on.

[Danju]

Rogue Galaxy. I'm kinda mad at it, though. I need a platinum license for all the cool stuff I want to get but apparently since I'm overleveled I haven't gotten nearly as many Challenging battles as I should have so I don't even have a gold license yet.

[Gaming_Bum]

the world ends with you worked when I made the order. But now it's saying the game is pre order and it comes out on 12/17/08! toys r us better not screw me over!

[RecentMidget]

tenchu 3 and 4 on ps2.
stealthy kills are fun.

Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift (NDS)
While the original Tactics has far more fans than the Advance series, I enjoyed FFTA more than FFT and have been looking forward to the sequel.

[Danju]

Final Fantasy VII: Crisis Core.

Man, what a disappointment. I stopped playing about when Zack went spouting "I want to be a hero!". Maybe I'll try to stomach Zack being such a ***** and hope for some serious character development. Though from what I've heard he pretty much sticks to that the entire time.

[sfried]

Space Invaders Extreme (DS)

[Urufu]

Shin Megami Tensei P3F.

It's interesting. A little slow for my pace but I'll probably play it when I just wanna chill out and play a leisurely game.

[ryushe]

Whats with everyone buying this game now, like it just came out? :P

I won't lie, Zack is really a turn off when you start to play, but he becomes more likeable as the story goes on.

[Crazy Tenchi]

(PS) Kartia: The Word of Fate
Grandia

(Dreamcast) Evolution: The World of Sacred Device

I've wanted to play these old games for a while and I finally decided to get them.

[Sushikins]

Gran Turismo 2 (PS1) - I always wanted to buy this game again, I loved some of the tracks that weren't in GT4, plus I love the Intro. Was only $2 used.

Armored Core: Formula Front Extreme Battle (PSP)

[Undrave]

Final Fantasy Tactics A2!

I wonder what I'm even doing here... I should be playing it right now! :p

[Vaikyuko]

Today:
Alone in the Dark (PS2)

Tomorrow, online:
Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift (DS)
Summon Night Twin Age (DS)
Fatal Fury: First Contact (NGPC)
Last Blade (NGPC)
Metal Slug: 1st Mission
Neo Turf Masters (NGPC)
Pac-Man (NGPC)
Puzzle Link (NGPC)
Puzzle Link 2 (NGPC)
Samurai Shodown! 2 (NGPC)
SNK Gals Fighters (NGPC)

Yeah, quite a few games. Took out almost every Neo Geo Pocket Color game I ever wanted in one fell swoop. Next time I buy them, I plan to finish off every one on my now-much-shorter want list.

[randomuser83]

GTA4 was the last game I bought and it was certainly over hyped.

[Bezerker]

Bought a lot of games today to flip, but the greatest quantity being:

Fatal Inertial (360) - 15 copies.

Paid $210, i'll be making $480 after I get them on Wednesday.

[Sushikins]

Izuna: Legend of the Unemployed Ninja (NDS)

I really need to chill on the random video game purchases, though I haven't seen a copy of this around in nearly a year, so I picked it up.

[Siendra]

Do the towels I bought to clean up the mess I made after watching the first D3 trailer count?

Diablo Battle Chest (PC)
Blizzard knows how to make me spend my money just after I swore I was done buying games till late July...

[Bezerker]

Alright, i've tallied up all my purchases (for myself, not for profit just yet) over the last week:

2x Ikgaruga (GC)
2x Pikmin 2 (GC)
2x Sukoden V (PS2)
2x MGS4 (1x Regular, 1x LE)
1x LoZ Twilight Princess (GC)
1x Odin Sphere (PS2)
1x XIII (PS2)
1x Dreamfall (XBX)
1x Eternal Darkness (GC)
1x Beyond Good and Evil (PS2)
1x Gungrave (PS2)
1x Gungrave Overdose (PS2)
1x Bomberman Act Zero (360)

Don't ask how much all of this costed me, I've honestly lost track (in a good way). I started two weeks ago with $150 cash and I flipped it to Blockbuster, and then from Blockbuster to Gamestop, and then back from Gamestop to Blockbuster (over and over) and ended up with all the games above and still have $30 BB credit and $310 GS credit leftover.

I only went to 7 gamestops 2x and 8 Blockbuster's 2x. All in a circumference of 15 miles, so gas cost was pretty minimal. Ppl that pay full price for games are suckers :-p.

[Rahxephon91]

I was able to finally get Walmart to give me the Mic version of Warhwak. Allow me to tell you of my awesome(or boring) fight against Walmart.

Well about 2 weeks ago I bought Warhawk online from Walmart, with the giftcard I received from their Blu-ray deal. On their website the picture of the game was the microphone version. It was also $60, so I believed it was the microphone version. Anyway the game arrives and well its just the game. I stupidly open it to see if Sony has moved to a voucher system. Anyway, on the 17th I send an email to Walmart about the issue, detailing how their website has the game pictured with the microphone and how the $60 version should have the mic. About 2 days ago I finally get a email response. The nice email sender Larry, tells me that Warhawk does not come with the microphone. Well this doesn't sit well with me and I decide to call Walmart. This involves an hour conversation. The lady on the other line at first tells me that I'd have to send the game to them. Well that would cost me money and well I don't really want to pay. She eventually tells me that I can go to the nearest Walmart and exchange it. She adds that the store has been notified and is holding that game. This is somewhat true.

So I go to Walmart and stand in their line for a long time. When I finally get there the customer service clerk quickly says that they don't take back opened games and throws me aside before I can tell her my story. I stand there while she takes the next customer and ask to speak to the manager. Not making any eye contact, she calls the manager. The manager then comes and quickly does the same thing the clerk does. I protest and she eventually calls electronics. The electronics clerk brings up the game. Its the microphone version but apparently she can not give it to me. She tells me that they just can't give it to me because it would be a loss for their store. I understand but I request that she call up Walmart.com, as they must have a recored of my previous call. She does but shes very ticked off about the entire thing. Apprantly its wasting her time or something. Well I'm trying to not be dick but I do have a stuttering problem when I get into arguments, so what I'm saying doesn't come across too clearly. She finally says that if I have the receipt, I can easily exchange my game for credit. I realize I don't have it and bid fore well to them. Though the manager decides to have a little laugh at my lack of paper work.

I go back to my car and look around. I find the receipt and take it back to them. I kinda feel like the guy from Death Note. Its like I've found away out of big game. Doesn't help that my friends and I play the "writing" song as a joke all the time. Anyway I get back there and find that the electronics clerk is gone. Well this sucks as now I have to deal with some new people and that lol manager. I give them the paperwork and they still refuse to exchange it. I keep my cool though as I just think there was some lack of communication. It doesn't help that the previous service clerk that "helped" me likes to laugh every time they find a reason to not give me the game. I'm not stupid but, I can never get my words out clearly and I hate it when people laugh when I'm just trying to talk in these "arguing" situations like this. This entire visit took about an hour and it ends in my defeat.

I return home and decide to call Walmart again. Its like the previous call but this time I get the girl on the other end to call the store's manager and notify him of the situation. She does and I return. I go back the service desk and they call the manager. He easily understands what happened and gives it to the same service clerk to do the exchange. The service clerk though decides to take the manager aside and talk to him in that low secretive voice. Whatever she says doesn't matter and he just tells her to do the exchange. While shes doing it, she rings up my old Warhawk game. It comes up $39.99. I get the Microphone version and leave.

Anyway, I'm not very good but I'm up for playing some more games. PSN tag is Rahxephon91.

[Vaikyuko]

Damn.

See, it's stuff like that that makes me love the Wal-Mart I work at. We're one of the highest ranked (the highest?) in the country. Glad you got it all worked out, though, Rahx.

My order for ten NGPC games arrived yesterday (and thank God I have the 4th off), so I'm going to be ripping through them all pretty quickly, I'm sure.

[Bezerker]

Some coupons for anyone looking to buy some stuff at GS:

Bonus 10% off (stacks with edge) up to 5 used games:
http://www.badongo.com/file/10203504

25% off up to 2 used 360 games (Stacks with edge):
http://www.gamestop.com/gs/newnews/fsi/images/EBC3006095.jpg

If you guys are looking to make some credit for cheaper games, Sega Superstars Tennis (360) is $12.15 at GS after coupon and edge, Blockbuster pay $25 for it, Condemned 2 & Viking (360) are $17.50 -> $32. Fatal Inertia (360) is $16.25 -> $32. If you're really lucky, Toys R Us has Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer (Wii) for $4, Blockbuster pays $30 (meaning you can get a $60 game for $8).

I know thats not what this thread was for, but i'm just trying to help some people out in these bad times as far as the economy goes. You dont have a choice in paying full price for gas, but you should have a choice when it comes to full priced video games ;-).

I admit this is an almost embarrassingly long list, but then I think it has been a good two months since I last posted... and video games is almost all I spend money on. Ever. I decided a long time ago that I prefer having good friends who own anime than owning it myself, with some rare exceptions.

It's my addiction. Buying games I might never even have the time to play. I may have even forgotten a couple, because I'm constantly browsing the local stores, ebay, other online retailers. I don't pay a lot for most of my games. I think this batch came in at an average price of £10 per game, which isn't too bad. Considering there are a few recent ones in there.

The Wii and Wii Fit are excluded from that calculation of course. They were a gift for my mom, and I only paid a quarter of the total. The family clubbed together to buy that. The only reason I list it here at all is that if I get any Wii games, my mom doesn't mind if I play her console when she's not using it. It's not the most dignified to live with your parents, but this is an unexpected bonus. Hello there, Mario Galaxy!

Halo 2 I really only bought because it was the collector's tin version for only £2.50 plus shipping. Yeah, I'm insane.

[Vaikyuko]

Hey, Soluzar, how is Patapon? I've been thinking about picking it up since it's only US$20, so...yeah.

[Soluzar]

Hey, Soluzar, how is Patapon? I've been thinking about picking it up since it's only US$20, so...yeah.
I've only played maybe a half-dozen missions so far. It's a lot of fun, but it's somewhat repetitive. I don't really hold the latter point against it as a detriment to the fun factor, but it is wise to know these things going in.

It is often called a rhythm game, as though it should be compared to something like Space Channel 5. That's not entirely untrue, but it also has elements of the RTS genre, as well as of God games. It's not really entirely similar to any of those.

Basically, you have your party, you take them into combat, and they won't do anything unless you command them. You command them by beating out drum measures. It's a call-and-response system, a bit like the marching songs you'll see in military movies.

Each different drum measure represents a type of command you can give. They can attack, defend, advance... etc. There are various types of unit. Swordsmen, spearmen, archers. You can't take a very large party out with you at first, I don't know if that changes. The emphasis is on picking the right units. It's hard to afford decent troops at first, but I dare say that would change if my rhythm was good enough for the resource-gathering minigame.

Overall, I had a lot of fun the first time I played it... but then it wasn't long before the game started kicking my ***. I'm not losing the missions, exactly... I just don't like to have a unit die. I'm progressing slowly because of that, and because I've got three other games on active rotation right now. I'm pretty close to finishing one of them, so I'll get more Patapon action in right now.

One thing I will say... you will find yourself chanting Patapon songs when your mind is wandering, if you're anything like me. They are catchy, and for some reason they help me concentrate. You can ask tenshi_a, she'll tell you that I'm barely even aware that I'm mumbling the chants. ;)

It's a great game. Perhaps a little frustrating, because it is easy to go from triumph to disaster with just a few mistimed drum measures. If you're a perfectionist, and if your rhythmic skills could use a polish, you might find yourself in a spot of minor difficulty. As long as you're a fan of unique games with cute abstract art, you will have fun though, I almost guarantee it.

Ratchet & Clank (PS2)

I played one of them very briefly at a friends house a long time ago. I don't really remember it that much. Hopefully I'll like it.

You probably will. That is, if you're looking for a 3D platformer with 3PS elements to it, and an some RPG-esque character growth systems. you will if the slight irritation of grinding bolts doesn't get in the way of the experience for ya. You don't need a lot of money to beat the game, but if you want the best equipment, you'll need TONS of money.

The sequels made gathering bolts a bit less tiresome, thankfully. The RPG elements also become stronger in each sequel. By that I mean that your character can gain levels, and you can upgrade your equipment. Obviously it's nothing like an RPG, but I don't really know what else to call it. It seems to be in a lot of action games these days though.

The new one on PS3 is gorgeous to look at, and fun to play, but they changed the control scheme a bit, which always throws me off at first.

Probably a bunch of others, I've been going on such a ridiculous gaming binge lately.

Awesome, thanks for the info, Soluzar. I'll probably pick it up when I go buy FFIV.

Oh my god my girlfriend hates it when I play Patapon. I hardly notice it but I'm always chatting Pon Pon Pata Pon or Pata Pata Pata Pon over and over.^_^ I still cant get the hang of the Baby mountain mini game and I can't tell you how many times I had to repeat the stage where you have to do the rain dance to cross but this is my favorite game on the psp by far. Don't waste your good items early it's better to use the common stuff early so you can make better patapons later on with the rare stuff.

[Old Ape Face]

The World Ends With You - DS
FFXII - PS2

I played like 30 mins of Finale Fantasy and thought it was ok, it reminded me of new school Star Wars.

I don't really like to battle system, It's like attempting to have a real time battle system while having the options of a turn based system, I prefer the real time hack and slash thing or the turn based but not both at once lol.

Also considering it's a ps2 game the graphics look no better then FFX if not worse.

pirated it off the internet but loved it so much i bought it for 360!

Long list is LOOOOONG
Very long indeed.

Yeah, I'm insane.
On the contrary, Your the sanest out of us all.


Final Fantasy Tactics: The war of Lions (PSP)
Monster Hunter Freedom 2 (PSP)
Burnout Revenge (360)

Wanted to get Final Fantasy Tactics A2 for the DS, but my DS was stolen...(...By my girlfriend no less) so I did the next best thing....or perhaps the only right thing, and got Final Fantasy Tactics: The war of Lions. I also picked up Monster Hunter Freedom 2 fairly cheap and now I can see why the Japanese go gaga over this game and then decided to pick up Burnout Revenge for the 360. had it for the PS2 a while ago, but sold it and just decided to get it back, just because.

[tenshi_a]

Very long indeed.
He's caught something off me, I think. For some reason, I'm storing most of my games in his house at the moment. This has two effects:

1. It makes him feel inferior, because that's the kind of (weak) man he is. Just because I happen to own more games than will fit in my house... So he feels the need to buy more games, so he can step up to my level. :P And I only buy that many games because I'm actually insane. He's just pretending to be.

2. I'm stuck with barely any games to play, so I went on a spending spree and bought a whole load of games. From Sega Mega-CD to Xbox 360. I can't be bothered to make a list. I'd be there all day. And all night. And I could be gaming, y'know?

Last one I bought is Space Giraffe. It's awesome.

Last one that arrived was Space Invaders Extreme (US). It's also awesome, but not quite as interesting gameplay as Space Giraffe.

Space Giraffe blends sound and vision far better than - for example - Rez. I think it achieves the merging of visuals / sound really well. The music is not reactive like in Rez, but it's impossible to play some of those later levels with your eyes; you have to navigate by sound as much as you do by sight.

Last one I played was Beautiful Katamari, this morning. It arrived Saturday a.m. just before I had to nip out and catch a train, so I've hardly played it... but I think I'm nearing the end of the game already! It's better than the PSP one but worse than the 1st two games. The level design is poor in comparison.

On the contrary, Your the sanest out of us all.
That's terribly worrying if it's true... :P

If it is having that effect it must be subconscious, because I'm not aware of it. I think it has more to do with the fact I finally overcame my ebay phobia this year, and I've been harvesting cheap PS1 and GameCube games as though they were going out of style. Which... I suppose they might be.

It's more your influence that I'm exploring a broader range of different titles these days. Not really games you like, as such... just games that I might have liked if I ever tried them... but didn't, because I stuck to the known, and the safe. The sad thing is that a lot of these games are actually quite well-known, but I just didn't explore that much beyond my limited horizons for a while.

You'll get them back... probably this week. To be honest I didn't know you were suffering from the lack. I thought you'd kept enough stuff back to keep you interested for ages.

It's all my fault folks. She was ready to have her stuff back about a week or two ago, but I haven't found the time to load up and make the trip. :redface:

That's terribly worrying if it's true... :P
Hey! You didn't have to say it. ;)

(It's all true. If I'm the most sane person here, then you must all be right old Froot Loops.)

Speaks the person who has my collection times 9000!!!! :P
It's probably only three or four times the size of the average person's collection. I wouldn't even know how to start counting it though. Seriously. I can count my own collection pretty easily... I think I'm somewhere between 250 and 300 games on all formats right now. I'm certain tenshi_a has that many for the PS2 alone.

[tenshi_a]

Us Men don't like when our Women have larger Tech-penis' than ours.

Give me about 3 days and I'll have overtaken his Xbox 360 Gamerscore, as well. :P

I'm getting a bit worried - I'm starting to wonder... if my collection goes over 9999, will it automatically reset itself to 1? :unsure:

[Soluzar]

Give me about 3 days and I'll have overtaken his Xbox 360 Gamerscore, as well. :P
I'm just about to finish Eternal Sonata though, I bet there's some big, juicy achievements at the end of that! I have also been informed that there are some achievements up for grabs in Dead Rising which (while challenging) don't take too long to get! You're the only person on my friends list who has a Gamerscore that is still in reach for me, I'm not going to let you beat me that easily

Soluzar says: Mada mada!

[ryushe]

Give me about 3 days and I'll have overtaken his Xbox 360 Gamerscore, as well. :P
So you wanna have a a bigger XBL-penis as well?! your a heartless women indeed.

forgot I needed to add you to my friends list :D

I'm getting a bit worried - I'm starting to wonder... if my collection goes over 9999, will it automatically reset itself to 1? :unsure:Just Elixer your collection if that's to happen.

[AsukaxSohryux]

Picked up rather cheap new :

PGR 4 - $15

By beating the game, you get 120 points total :(

Yeah... and I'm planning on it. I've been told you can go find it just before you go off to the final boss.

[Bezerker]

I bought around 70 games to sell at Gamestop, and will probably buy another 30 or so later, but for myself i Bought Pikmin, Paper Mario (GC), and Hot Shots Golf (PS3).

For anyone who cares, Blockbuster is doing a B1G1 Free on all games $14.99 and under. They sell plenty of rare games for cheap. I've picked up Pikmin 1&2, Zelda TP, MGS: Twin Snakes, all for under $14.99 (meaning they would be B1G1F)

*EDIT*

Bought another 40 or so games to sell to Gamestop. But for myself, i bought the following:

PS2
Mana Khemia, Killer 7, Persona 3 FES & Pre-ordered Persona 4

Folklore (PS3), Battlefield Bad Company (360)

[lav2k4]

Phoenix Wright: JFA.

[Raziel_MGS]

Spectural Force 3
Infinite Undiscovery
Star Wars : Force Unleashed

[Vaikyuko]

Bought Patapon (PSP) today.

[Danju]

Shadow Hearts: Covenant.

I'd been putting it off because I generally dislike sequels, not to mention that I had heard that this one pretty much declared the "bad" ending of Shadow Hearts to be canon. Not cool. But anyway, despite it all I was actually having a lot of fun with the game. That is, until my power went out this evening while I was saving. I lost almost 30 hours of gameplay that I just really don't feel like getting back. If you ignore the game's awful attempts at humor and voice acting it's real fun, but not fun enough to replay 30 hours. At least, not now. It'll take me a few months to get over this and be able to pick it up again. *sigh* Guess I'll go beat Persona 3.

[ryushe]

30 hours?!

Did the black out erase your saves or are you just a reckless gamer?

[Danju]

Did the black out erase your saves or are you just a reckless gamer?
I usually end up with 10+ saves, not only to be safe but because I like keeping saves before my favorite parts. The blackout wiped my card. :(

[Shadow Raven.]

NCAA Football 09 - PS3

[Xod2win]

I picked up Unreal Tournament 3, Grandia 3 and Stella Deus yesterday. So far UT3 is a lot of fun in both multiplayer and campaign mode. Grandia 3 is a rebuy, gonna try to finally finish the game because it has the best rpg battle system I've ever seen.

[Chidori Raikiri]

Pokemon Pearl - Needed a game to help pass the time on a plane ride, and figured this would be a good idea. I haven't played one in 7 years, so the experience should feel fresh once again.

[randomuser83]

Most recent purchase was probably GTA4 which I regretted. This game is a rental not a purchase. Its super easy and very repetitive.

[luciferlover12]

Operation Darkness, nazi vampires and british werewolves = Sexy imo.

[Bezerker]

New Gamestop coupon for everyone: 20% off up to 3 used games or accessories:

Not necessarily a current purchase, but i pre-ordered Animal Crossing for the Wii

[DazzleKitty]

Ochaken no Heya 3 for the DS. Imported.

[Chiblett]

While checking GS to see if they had a game, I picked up used copies of
-Aqua Aqua
-Pryzm: Chapter 1, something Unicorn

Since they didn't have what I wanted though, I went elsewhere to pick up
Dance Dance Revolution Extreme/Pad. These games are insane.

Also, picked up used for $1
-Threads of Fate (PS1)
-Brave Fencer Musashi (PS1)
-Jet Moto 2 (PS1)

[ZeroRyoko1974]

Project Dark Zero for 8 dollars at a gamestop

[Aisoku]

My most recent VG purchase was The Bouncer for £2 (around $4).

[Sushikins]

Final Fantasy IV (NDS)
The World Ends With You (NDS)

[Soluzar]

The World Ends With You (NDS)
This was wise. :D

[Sushikins]

This was wise. :D

Yes, I'll be looking forward to playing it sometime in the near future. It's something I've been meaning to pick up since before the US release, but only just found a copy in stores today. Hearing your good opinion and others on it only reinforced the decision.

[Chiblett]

Picked up
Final Fantasy IV DS- And I had to call three different stores before I even found one that had gotten this in. Thankfully GS had it, but I can't believe the other two retailers didn't have it.
Final Fantasy Tactics A2, though I'm iffy on this title from the start, as I never really got into Tactics of TA..

[Kamuhltow]

Ninja Gaiden II

Much harder and less imaginative than the first, but still kick ***, nonetheless.

[Jon]

Tales of the Abyss (PS2)

Finally found it, can't wait. It's getting harder to find.

[sfried]

Final Fantasy IV (DS) - Progressing quickly.

[ryushe]

Project Dark Zero for 8 dollars at a gamestop
Same and Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3 FES

Sonic Adventure (Dreamcast)
Metal Gear: Ghost Babel (GBC)

[Gibb]

I've been in an Adventure game mood lately, so I picked up Still Life (PC) for $6 at Half Price Books. It's basically a detective/adventure game where you try to solve crimes and track down a serial killer. I like it so far.

[t_jay17]

Soul Calibur 4 PS3

[Gibb]

Soul Calibur 4 PS3

Did somebody break street date?

I was hoping Toys R Them would break it but they didn't have the game.

[cris]

Siren for PS3 (also got Bande Dessinée with it)

[Gibb]

Siren for PS3 (also got Bande Dessinée with it)

I forgot I also bought Siren. I ended up buying the full 14 chapters bundle. It's crazy that it splits it up into 14 huge downloads (600MB - 1200 MB each). I beat the first 2 chapters already, and it's pretty neat, tho very hard to see at some points, even with the gamma turned to +2 (the max).

[Bezerker]

Received my copy of Soul Calibur 4 (PS3). Of course, I got the news they wont be getting the Premium Edition til next week if not later, so i'm going to leave my copy sealed for now.

[AsukaxSohryux]

Received my copy of Soul Calibur 4 (PS3). Of course, I got the news they wont be getting the Premium Edition til next week if not later, so i'm going to leave my copy sealed for now.

Why so long? Thought the Premium ships the same day as the regular edition.

[Bezerker]

Why so long? Thought the Premium ships the same day as the regular edition.

Blockbuster sucks. But hey, I get everything for 50-90% off, so I'd much rather wait. I'm actually going to move some credit from Blockbuster to Gamestop today, so maybe i'll get one of the Premium's there.

[Vaikyuko]

I got:

Final Fantasy IV (DS)
Riveria: The Promised Land (PSP)

FFIV was day before yesterday and Riveria was last night, but whatever. FFIV looks epic, Riveria looks like an awesome game that I won't put down for a while either.

[AsukaxSohryux]

Picked up Soul Caliber 4 CE and Spectral Force 3.

[soulreaper]

Rented Soul Calibur IV. I didn't want to gamble, since I can't say I particularly enjoyed III.

[Shadow Raven.]

Soul Calibur IV Premium Edition

[Raziel_MGS]

silverfall and earth awakening

[Sushikins]

NCAA Football 09 (PS3)
College football season is almost here, gotta get my fix.

[Jon]

Geometry Wars 2. It's simply amazing.

[J Dude]

Digimon Dawn & Final Fantasy IV DS, both for the Nintendo DS. Looking quite forward to playing both, but I think I'm leaning more towards playing Digimon Dawn first.

[Chiblett]

Picked up some Playstation games today:

Tenchu: Stealth Assassins
Parasite Eve
Megal Gear Solid

[L-san]

Picked up Tales of Legendia last week and also scored myself a copy of Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth. ^_^

[pigz4brains]

Picked up Izuna 2 the other day.

[max payne]

Def Jam: Fight for NY

I heard it supposed to be really good. Plus I read/watched an LP of it a while ago and it looked pretty interesting.

[lav2k4]

Disgaea: Hour of Darkness (PS2)

[Gibb]

Mahou Sensei Negima!? Neo-Pactio Fight!! (Wii)

It's really cheap at playasia currently (weekly special for $25), so I'm going to see if I can get it working with this method of getting import wii titles to work. If it does work, i'll be importing Fatal Frame IV most likely. ^__^

[J.Mizuno]

Lego Star Wars, PS3

[KazumaII]

Did some pre-orders today.

Fable II: special edition 360

Mercanaries 2: World in Flames 360

[Vaikyuko]

Well, I didn't buy these, not exactly. Gifts from my stepbrother.

Sega Dreamcast (2 controllers, 1 VMU)
Marvel vs. Capcom: New Age of Heroes
Shenmue
The House of the Dead 2

And probably a ton more games, he has plenty that are lying around; he didn't want any of them anymore, since he never played the DC, and he knew I was after one. Therefore, I got it. Oh yeah, those three games above all have original case and manual too, which made me spaz out with joy. :P

[Gibb]

Hail to the Chimp (PS3). It dropped to $20 and I love party games. I'll try it on Thursday when some friends come over.

[Soluzar]

Well done! I'd say a Dreamcast is one of the best gifts a videogame fan could get. I don't go completely overboard in my love for it like some folk, but I do really like some of the games that you can get on Dreamcast. It had a good library, and some of them I'm still playing today.

Extra controllers and VMU, should you need any, can still be obtained from Play-Asia, as can a fair number of import games.

Yup, twas a great gift. I just remembered we found Soulcalibur as well, so that's four games that were on my wishlist that are gone now...XD

[Redd]

Madden 09(PS3)- Don't know why I seem to do this every year but the running game is still crappy and the O-line is still garbage most of the time. Don't think I'll be owning this years version very long.:mad:

Indiana Jones(PS3)- Stupid fun Co-Op madness. Can't seem to find alot of the secrets though. Love this game but gets repetitive at times.

[Shadow Raven.]

Madden 09 - PS3

[Danju]

Final Fantasy IV DS

[Sushikins]

I've been delaying this order for a long time now...

Playstation 2 (Red Slim Model, Region 2)
Super Robot Wars OG: Original Generations (PS2)
Super Robot Wars OG: Original Generations Gaiden (PS2 Limited Edition)
Super Robot Wars Alpha 3: To the End of the Galaxy (PS2)
Another Century's Episode 2 Special Vocal Version (PS2)
Another Century's Episode 3 The Final (PS2)

[gameoffreak8]

I bought Luminous Arc (DS) for $29.99 in Fry's yesterday.

[t_jay17]

I will soon own

Bionic Comando Rearmed (PS3)

One of the few games that I would gladly buy twice(NES, PS3).

[Gibb]

Just bought Fate: Undiscovered Realms (PC) for $20. It's the entire Fate game + the expansion, so not a bad deal. Fate is a Diablo II type game.

[lav2k4]

Startropics (NES)

[sfried]

Bangai-O Spirits (DS)

[Bezerker]

Gamestop coupon for this week is VERY nice.

http://www.gamestop.com/gs/newnews/fsi/images/EBC3006210.jpg

Enjoy everyone.

[Lacan]

Bionic Commando Rearmed, 1942 Joint Strike, and Street Fighter Alpha PS1 ver for Playstation 3 PSN downloads.

[Vaikyuko]

Well, after having gotten that Dreamcast for nothing earlier, I actually went out and bought some games...

Hotel Dusk: Room 215 (DS)
Dawn of Mana (PS2)
Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner: Raidou Kuzunoha vs. The Soulless Army (PS2)
Wild Arms 5 (PS2)

I have no idea how good the three PS2 games are, but considering that they were each available for exactly $29 each (which is extremely cheap where I am right now, since freight to St. Maarten jacks up prices as much as 10-20 dollars more from retail) and that Wild Arms 5 came with an artbook thingy, I think it was pretty good. I only picked up Hotel Dusk because I had the money, didn't really ever see it in stores anymore, and it was a still sealed copy. I was pretty surprised to find all these games, usually all they have in St. Maarten is a few big name titles that are worth playing at least once no matter what games you like (read: real games), and then sports/licensed movie crap.

[Neko Dawn]

Final Fantasy Tactics A2 : The Grimoire of the Rift (DS)

[Bezerker]

Hope you used the coupon above Neko ;-)

I also picked up FFT A2 for $22 along with Final Fantasy 4 for $22 and Etrian Odyssey for $12.

Pretty good day for DS finds.

[Ikari Warrior]

I got Mega Man Zero 2. I wish I'd seen that coupon before I bought it!

[Texcap]

I was finally able to add these (new and old) classics to my collection:

- Astro Boy: Omega Factor (GBA)
- Metroid II: Return of Samus (GB)
- Kirby & The Amazing Mirror (GBA)
- Kirby: Canvas Curse (DS)
- Kirby: Nightmare in Dreamland (GBA)
- Virtua On: Oratorio Tangram (Dreamcast)

Better late than never...

[Jon]

Traded in Oblivion, Zelda TP, Zelda PH, Animal Crossing WW, FFIV (GBA), DBZ Legend of Goku, Eternal Darkness,
KOTOR and got Burnout Paradise and Gears of War for free and $10 left over.:)

[Old Ape Face]

FFIV

and I pre ordered Guitar Hero 4 :P

[t_jay17]

Armored Core 4 PS3

[Chidori Raikiri]

Picked up Too human. I'm really enjoying it, despite the mixed reviews.

[Vaikyuko]

You guys are gonna hate me, seriously.

My stepbrother decided that he doesn't just not want his Dreamcast, he doesn't want any of his games anymore, period. I still have to root around (as he has a bunch more that I may or may not want), but here's what I found today:

Dreamcast Web Browser 2.0 with SegaNet (DC)
Toy Commander (DC)
Bloody Roar 3 (PS2)
Max Payne (PS2)
Medal of Honor: Frontlines (PS2)
Medal of Honor: Rising Sun (PS2)
Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty (PS2)
Spider-Man 2 (PS2)
Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith (PS2)
Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell (PS2)
Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow (PS2)

And then I went into town and bought some more games...

Atelier Iris 3: Grand Phantasm (PS2)
Soulcalibur IV (PS3)
Custom Robo Arena (DS)
Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Ring of Fates (DS)
Super Mario 64 DS (DS)

Yeah, I got a looooooot of games really fast...

[Jon]

Well Max Payne and the Splinter Cell games are really good, but a LOT better on the Xbox/PC. A LOT.

[Vaikyuko]

Well Max Payne and the Splinter Cell games are really good, but a LOT better on the Xbox/PC. A LOT.

I got them for free, I'm not complaining. Besides, no XBOX1, and my PC probably couldn't run them the way I'd like them to. I like controllers for that sort of thing anyway.

[Raziel_MGS]

Armored Core 4 PS3

welcome to the future, now the new armored core comes out in like a month

and i preordered banjo-kazooie after the exciting news that if you preorder banjo you get the original banjo two weeks early FOR FREE!

SERIOUSLY
amazon.com, gamestop, and gamecrazy are doing it, you BETTER DO IT!
You made my heart sing when you place Gamecrazy there.

Recent Purchase;
Super Mario World (Wii VC)

[Raziel_MGS]

you traded in eternal darkness???? WHY!?

[Jon]

you traded in eternal darkness???? WHY!?
Because it's weird and boring. It doesn't go anywhere fast, and I don't like that.

And they gave me 11 bucks for it. Good deal.

[Raziel_MGS]

wierd and boring? my god have you beaten it?

[KazumaII]

Because it's weird and boring. It doesn't go anywhere fast, and I don't like that.

And they gave me 11 bucks for it. Good deal.

Noooo Trade ins bads.... No.

[AsukaxSohryux]

you traded in eternal darkness???? WHY!?

Hey I did the same....got $18 for it....its well dull and boring rofl.

[Raziel_MGS]

greatest story ever

[Jon]

Noooo Trade ins bads.... No.
Trade ins = good when I get over $100 for stuff that I never play and just takes up shelf space.

[KazumaII]

Trade ins = good when I get over $100 for stuff that I never play and just takes up shelf space.


Last Time I trade was in when gamestop was takeing in PS games. If anything now I just keep games or trade out with friends only.

[Broand]

Gmod and I'm loving it.

[t_jay17]

Eternal Darkness has to be the best game to come out for the Gamecube.

[Raziel_MGS]

i traded sega genesis games in for 15 cents each when the ps1 was out, ever since then i refuse to sell my games, i sold my ps1 for 50 bucks later, all of this culminates into refusing to sell games, i always want to come play them later, aka Parasite Eve

[ryushe]

Because it's weird and boring. It doesn't go anywhere fast, and I don't like that.

And they gave me 11 bucks for it. Good deal.

Hey I did the same....got $18 for it....its well dull and boring rofl.
You two are now the coolest people in the VG fourm. Eternal Darkness was sooooo lame, I honestly can't see why everyone likes it so much :huh:

[Raziel_MGS]

it had a good story that wasnt convoluted and didnt drone on with mumbo jumbo

[t_jay17]

I dont trade in my games after all I paid for them and I will play them again every once in a while I break out the NES and play Bionic Commando, Zelda , Contra, Tecmo Bowl< Contra and Jackal and when that doesn't clear out my boredom I break out the Colecovision and play the original Donky Kong.

[Jon]

The only old Nintendo games worth playing to me anymore are the Donkey Kong Country games, they are still amazing.

I need to buy those on the VC.

[Siendra]

Ewwww. I never liked the DKC games.

Anyway, Puzzle Quest for the DS.

[Rahxephon91]

The Witcher
Battlefield 2142

http://www.gamestop.com/gs/newnews/fsi/images/EBC3006251.jpg

[Bezerker]

Picked up Digital Devil Saga for $26 thanks to the coupon above.

[AsukaxSohryux]

Battlefield Bad Company

[t_jay17]

thanks for the coupon

[Ikari Warrior]

I bought Chromehounds for $10 from Blockbuster. I'm enjoying it pretty well. They got a lot right, but it'd be nice to have a friend-or-foe system to keep track of my allies.

[Gibb]

Rachet & Clank: Quest for Booty (PS3/PSN)

Just finished it and it was a lot of fun.

[Redd]

A little something for anyone looking to pick up some Sony games this week:

http://www.gamestop.com/gs/newnews/fsi/images/EBC3006251.jpg

Nice. I just got Resistance: FOM, Mega Man: Powered Up, and God of War II for $38 after taxes.

[Bezerker]

Picked up a few more things:

Baldurs Gate 2 (PS2)
Siren (PS2)
Fatal Frame (XBX)

all for $25 before tax, unfortunately they were all missing the manuals, so not quite complete.

[Ikari Warrior]

Picked up Mega Man X: Command Mission at Gamecrazy. Played an hour of it; it's pretty fun.

[Gibb]

Disgaea 3 (PS3)

[Ikickyourcat]

Not really a VG purchase, but close to one. Bought a load of virtual console games from the wii shop channel. I got sonic the hedgehog 2, super mario world, super mario bros, paper mario and super metroid. I had some wii points to spare and a dusty classic controller. :lol:

[guyverfanboy]

PS2:
Scarface: The World Is Yours

PC:
Requiem: Avenging Angel
Kingpin: Life of Crime

I always wanted to play all of Requiem: Avenging Angel. :lol: I don't think I ever fully finished Kingpin. In fact, I don't remember how far I got. -_-;

[Chidori Raikiri]

Tales of Vesperia

[YuriFanboy]

I just picked up Disgaea 3.

[Bezerker]

Heres the coupon for those wanting to get Tales of Vesperia (or any other used Xbox/360 game) for cheap:

http://www.gamestop.com/gs/newnews/fsi/images/EBC3006350.jpg

I picked up a buncha stuff to flip, but for myself I got really lucky and scored mint/complete MGS3 Subsistence LE (no Metal Gear Saga though, since that was a pre-order bonus, not part of the game ><)

[Sushikins]

Final Fantasy Tactics: War of the Lions (PSP)
Brand new for only $20, couldn't pass up the chance.

[AsukaxSohryux]

Tales of Vesperia LE

[MightyDustLoop]

Tales of Vesperia LE

Same. Plus Disgaea 3 and NG Sigma. Hadn't stopped at a BB, CC, or Fry's store in 6 months before that. Now I know why.

Classy packaging on that LE by the way. I was at Fry's so it was actually 15 extra bucks versus just the ten, and the extra CD and manual pages seem totally pointless, but since I'm actually planning on playing through this, will get my money's worth.

[ryushe]

Castle Crashers
Soul Caliber 4

castle crashers is worth every single M$ point, to bad I can't say the same for the latter...

[Raziel_MGS]

ryushe im up for playing castle whenever

[AsukaxSohryux]

Fable II preorder

Edit :

Infinite Undiscovery (MS got smart and didnt stack the discs!!!)

[ryushe]

ryushe im up for playing castle whenever
yeah, no prob :-)

Returned Soul Caliber 4 in for a full refund and bought Ghost Reacon Advance Warfighter for the 360 for about $3 ($9.99 originally, then 50% off, plus my EDGE card :D ) and finally bought The World Ends With You.

[Mokona76]

last things i got were a nintendo wii, pokemon battle revo and wii play

[Lacan]

I just got Metal Gear Solid 4 today, but I haven't played it yet. I'm busy watching the Batman Gotham Knight Blu Ray.

[VidelCoolGirl]

I got it as a late B-day present yesterday. I got Orange Box for PS3. It is indeed sweetness.

[Jon]

Traded in GTA 4, Extreme G 3 Racing, 3 GBA games, Trauma Center, and got around $50, which I put towards Left 4 Dead.

[Gibb]

I got it as a late B-day present yesterday. I got Orange Box for PS3. It is indeed sweetness.

Did you update it via the internets? I hear it fixes a lot of the slowdown or other issues.

[Vaikyuko]

Bought Command & Conquer: The First Decade to consolidate my discs. I had like...a little less than half of what was in the game already, but now I can play them all on one disc, and I have the other stuff I was missing. Renegade is stupid fun, love the idea of a C&C FPS (can't wait for Tiberium).

Will likely get a bunch of games for my birthday, so can't wait for that either. Only a small smattering of weeks still. :P

[Gibb]

Just bought Crysis (PC) for $20 and found another copy of Silent Hill 1 PS1 foro $8. I wanted to try Crysis on my new PC since it's pretty nice, and it does indeed look pretty good. The game isn't all that great so far, but it looks good anyway.

[Vaikyuko]

It's all but confirmed that I'm getting it later this month; I've heard the game is pretty much a standard FPS, just with pretty graphics. It looks really cool, though. Not to mention that I was watching some vids and you can actually shoot/kill/be killed by sharks in the game. I thought that was hilarious, since sharks obviously have absolutely nothing to do with anything. :P

[Jon]

Haha, yeah. It sacred the **** out of me when I was playing once. I was just swimming in the ocean, and all of a sudden, I see this huge shark and it just devours me :(

It's an okay game though, you can make it even look better with mods.

[guyverfanboy]

Kingpin: Life of Crime & Painkiller: Gold Edition (both PC). :)

[Gibb]

Portal (PC)

It dropped to $10 so I decided it's time to grab it. I've already finished the game at a friend's house, but I haven't had a chance to try the hard mode or any user created levels.

Sky Gunner (PS2)

I saw this game for $10 a couple days ago and couldn't pass it up. I remember playing the demo a long time ago and loving it. It's basically a cutesy dog fighting game with anime styled characters, and Atlus brought it to the states.

Kingpin: Life of Crime

That was such a great game haha. I loved walking around talking to people using the "Cool" and "Smack" buttons. If you keep talking to somebody using the "Smack" button, they'll eventually get pissed off and pull a gun on you, just like real life! Aside from the talking, the gameplay was quite cool as well. The only thing I hated about the game was how long it took to load everything. It might be better nowadays with better PCs, but it was painful back when the game was new.

[VidelCoolGirl]

Traded in a couple games, and got Gitaroo Man Lives for PSP. I love the PS2 version, and I need to dust off my PSP.

[Jon]

Chrono Cross (PS1). The version I had from a friend doesn't even work. I loved the game from what did work (about half of the first disc) so I decided to buy a brand new copy :)

[Raziel_MGS]

got my ps3 games today, MGS 4, Uncharted, Folklore, Ninja Gaiden Sigma, and Resistance

[Bezerker]

World of Warcraft Battlechest
Grand Theft Auto 3 Via Steam

I gotta get Yakuza 2 soon as well.

[Raziel_MGS]

is yakuza 2 for ps2, and either way does it need to have the first one played to enjoy it?

[Rahxephon91]

is yakuza 2 for ps2, and either way does it need to have the first one played to enjoy it?
Yes Yakuza 2 is for PS2. It is a sequel to Yakuza 1. So knowing what happen in 1 would help but this is more of just another crime story. So its not really needed.

Theres also Yakuza Kensan (or something) and Yakuza 3, both for PS3.

[Raziel_MGS]

you gonna confirm my FR rahx?

[AsukaxSohryux]

Star Wars : The Force Unleashed

[Jon]

[Gasaraki]

Armored Core For Answer, Still need to buy a 360 to play it on though lol

[Akito]

Anybody got a tips on how to fix the switch board?!
Flip both switches at the same time. That may sound impossible considering the limitations of the touch-screen, but it does actually work.
Pre ordered Persona 4 to get my art book.
I pre-ordered it a while back. Do they already have the art-books in, or does it come with the game when you pick it up?

It's an Amazon exclusive, and It's limited. So if you ordered it from some where else, then you won't get it.

EDIT: I believe Gamestop is included for the Art book.

[Akito]

Ah, I pre-ordered from Gamestop, but at least according to posts on Siliconera, the artbook and CD will come with the game.

[Chiblett]

Just ordered Baten Kaitos & Baten Kaitos Origins as well as Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker

I also picked up 3 ds games yesterday at TRU, Clubhouse Games, Puzzle Quest: CoW (I suck at this game) & the Lego Starwars Game, which I haven't played before, on any system. So this will be interesting.

[Vaikyuko]

Third one I believe.

Oh, the circuit breaker. Switchboard made me think phones.

Anyway, like Akito said, you have to flip both at once (either using dual styluses or finger(s)). There's another puzzle (literally) that's pretty ridiculous, too, I thought...but ingenious once you get it.

[Undrave]

Yeah I had figured it out... turned out I was just having manipulation problems ^^;;

Also I got into room 217 and there's a pad of paper in one of the drawer... how come you can't grab your pencil from your suitcase and rub it on the paper to see what was last written on it?! Seems like the kind of thing I would do in that situation.

One feature I find missing from this game is the ability to show profiles to people to get them to tell you what they think about that particular character. Like in the Phoenix Wright series you know?

[Raziel_MGS]

pre-ordered persona 4 on a whim

[regus 5000]

Soul Calibur IV for the ps3. game is awesome but i worry that its going to detract from my school work...
also my network sucks and gets me kicked out of rooms since they can apparently see my connection strength. i guess i cant complain though. its free from the university.

[throughhim413]

Megaman 9. 'tis hard... or perhaps I'm just really out of practice at hard games.

[t_jay17]

Tomorrow I will probably get Armored core for answer for the ps3 and I am still undecided if I should get Megaman 9 since he cant slide or charge his shots

[Banjou Haran]

The last new game I bought was Metal Gear Solid 4. Most recently I purchased a used copy of Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth. I haven't had much time to play a lot of video games recently. Although, I am interested in Valkyria Chronicles which should come out in November.

[Gaming_Bum]

Mega Man 9

tomorrow wario land shake it

[Gasaraki]

I found this freaking awesome little PS2 strategy game called DAI SENRYAKU EXCEEED VII with the subtitle "Modern Military Tactics". It's basically an SRPG like Final Fantasy Tactics or Ogre Tactics, but in a hex-grid style and with REALLY detailed stats and terrain. Plus all the units are real life military units from 8 different countries. I'm only in tutorial mode right now so I only know of USA so far.

The funny thing is, it's a US English version of the game, but it actually has kanji in the front cover lol

Also:
Sega Genesis Classics because it has SHINOBI III
Geometry Wars on DS
Abe's Odyssey, yes that old PS1 game. I never played it and my friend recently reminded me of it's existance so I'm gonna finally get around to it.

in the later megaman games on the NES he can. so he should be able to.

[Gaming_Bum]

in the later megaman games on the NES he can. so he should be able to.

why would they put that in the game, when clearly they could charge us 2 dollars for protoman who can do that

[Vaikyuko]

in the later megaman games on the NES he can. so he should be able to.

If memory serves, while he retains some abilities (like some Rush-related thing, I forgot what), those he loses in MM9. Not sure why.

Probably, as suggested above, to make Protoman look good.

[Siendra]

Resistance Fall of Man and Ninja Gaiden Sigma. I love when larger style department stores staff gets lazy. They had 2/$30 stickers on both despite them being $29.99 each. Two minutes of complaining later and I walked away saving $30.

[Gibb]

My NISA Totally DS Touch & Play Set just shipping. It's Disgaea DS, Rhapsody DS, and some bonus things like a Prinny stylus. I'm not too big on the idea of playing Disgaea DS, but I really want to try the new Rhapsody with a different battle system. I thought the tactics system of the original Rhapsody was out of place.

[Tom Servo]

Brought Oblivion on the PS3 for cheap. Was going to make a thread on games where it's fun to travel around and explore (which I love doing) like Frontier Elite or Sky Odyssey, but this game will satiate me for awhile. :P

Got two save files on the go: one a wood elf theif (which is fun) and the other a high elf mage. How do I increase the intelligence stat of my mage? I went around buying and stealing loads of books on folklore and magic and read them, but that doesn't seem to do anything - can't think of how else you would increase intelligence.

Also, I love the little skeleton dude you can conjure off the bat as a mage, he's useful AND cute.

I got mine yesterday w/ Etna figure. I'm dissapointed that the prinny stylus doesnt have the little bomb attachment like in the figure, but im happy that I got the Etna figure.

[ryushe]

Went to Queens yesterday and bought a Non-Greatest Hits, Black label copy of Silent Hill for the Playstation in mint condition for $7.

I'm don't know whether to sell it or play it.

[Rahxephon91]

Grand theft Auto Vice City
Max Payne 2

Both off steam

[t_jay17]

I just bought Armored Core For Answers for the PS3 and Megaman 9 on PSN

[Jon]

Max Payne 2
Both off steam
YES. Max Payne love is always good.

You should have bought the bundle pack, it's like $15 for two awesome games.

[Vaikyuko]

For my birthday:

Boktai: The Sun Is In Your Hand (GBA)
Boktai 2: Solar Boy Django (GBA)
From The Abyss (DS)
Luminous Arc (DS)
Rune Factory: A Fantasy Harvest Moon (DS)
Shin Megami Tensei: Digital Devil Saga (PS2)
Trauma Center: Under The Knife (DS)
Zone of the Enders: The Fist of Mars (GBA)

Pretty good. Expected Crysis instead of Trauma Center, but to be frank, it's not like it matters, they cost practically the same thing so I plan to buy it closer to when I get my new computer. :P

[Bezerker]

Got Electroplankton (mint/complete), Soul Calibur 4 LE (PS3 - Mint/complete) and TNA Impact (360) for $103 thanks to the GS B2G1 sale going on.

[Holy Knight]

Got myself Disgaea 2 and Arcana Heart. I am very much enjoying the former, though the story isn't at par with the first game and I had was amused while the latter was being purchased since the cashier was a girl who quite visibly did not have more than a general knowledge of games. I could just see her mental process while the transaction was going on, though I did set her right in the end. :P

Keep Training in spells and you'll eventually get the option to sleep and level up where you can choose 3 skills to level.

[Matsu'o Tsurayaba]

Risk:Global Domination for the PS2,I have to admit..I'm hooked on the game.

[guyverfanboy]
