Video Game Buys

Totally worth it. The entire experience is like playing a Ghostbusters movie. This game IS the sequel you've been waiting for.

^ Hrm. Good to know.

This afternoon I did some more catching up with PS2 by buying Manhunt, Manhunt 2, Onimusha: Dawn of Dreams, Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, and Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones. They didn't have Prince of Persia: The Warrior Within, but they were all so cheap. Couldn't pass them up.

I just got 4 games for my Wii for like $35 brand new. I got Naruto Clash of Ninja Revolution for $5, Furu Furu Park, Deadly Creatures, and Geometry Wars for $10 each. That's what I like paying for games, just as much to buy as it is to rent. At least if the game sucks it's not a big deal, I spend that much at McDonalds on a combo meal.

Got this 2 weeks ago:


In preparation for getting this 3 days ago:

Hellboy: Asylum Seeker for the PS1. Got it on eBay for 99 cents free shipping. Wow, its right up there with Spawn The Eternal in terms of... well, everything. Standard late 90's PSX graphics, standard low end 90's PC sounds, shit gameplay, shit hit detection, weak ass enemies, simplistic fighting, POS story.

The Onimusha series is fuckin' bad ass. Its Samurai Resident Evil.

Friend me I still play that even though my Tekken addiction is growing.

i need to buy a new live card mine just expired sooo...


latest buys:
dragonage origins(i bought 3 of them 1 for me and 2 as presents to friends - best buy had it on sale for like 40$ a pop - couldnt say no to it) and deadspace(this was like 20$ new ftw)

I know what I'm getting in the new year (I posted this in the anime openings thread and I'm doing so here)



and you gotta laugh at him being in it!



hell if theres one thing I could bitch about as to this game is theres no macross characters in it as far as I know

Have picked up and been enjoying Lego Indiana Jones 2. The slight changes in gameplay are mildly annoying, but it's still a lot of fun.

Also picked up Scribblenauts for the DS. I'm amazed at the number of nouns that game recognizes, and it's actually pretty challenging at points. I heartily recommend it.

I also got the new Sims 3 expansion pack, but am having trouble getting it to install and run correctly. I'll have more time to devote to correcting the problem this weekend, and will have a review then.

I got Mega Man X: Maverick Hunter X for PSP.

Megaman X rocks.

Did some chores around the house (so glad I still live with my parents) for some extra money. My best friend works at Gamestop, and this past weekend, he got an extra 10% off used games (for a total of 35%!).

I got all these for $80:







Haven't played Mirror's Edge or Star Wars before, haven't played Lost or AC on PS3 yet, but I popped my Wolverine cherry Saturday night -- for 6.5 hours. It is one of the most fun games I have ever played. Ever. And, it's gory as fuck. If the movie had been half as violent as this game, it wouldn't have sucked as much as it did.

shin megami tensei: persona for the psp. awesome.

In the last month:

Batman: Arkham Asylum
GTA IV
inFamous
Army of Two
Conan the Barbarian
Uncharted: Drake's Fortune
Guitar Hero: Van Halen

Traded Batman as soon as I beat it. I beat AoT today, so I'll trade that soon as well.

Assassins Creed 2 (PS3)
New Super Mario Bros (Wii)

I didn't buy it, but Spidey & Mrs. Spidey gave it to me as a Christmas present:

Within this last week I've picked up Magna Carta 2 and Star Ocean: The Last Hope both for Xbox 360.

My computer crapped out on me at home, so I can't play WoW, so I've gone back to my first love of console rpg's!

InFamous looked really, really cool.
You didn't make a mistake with Uncharted. The first one is very cool. The second one is amazing.
You gotta tell me if the Conan game is any fun.

As with MM's Conan game, Tenime, you gotta tell me if Ghostbusters 3 is worth a buy.

From Christmas:


^ My bro and sister-in-law got me this.

Picked this up today:



Included in it is a two-day Xbox Live Gold trial, so I'll get my profile running & will post in the Xbox Live thread soon!

I got that for X-mas and a gift card to Best Buy. I am hoping to buy Lego Batman and a racing game.

Bought Rock Band 2 a few nights ago.

I love Lego Games. I'll let you know how it is.
