Picked up Puzzle Quest today. I have yet to try it. I will in a bit.

*Voltron* · 06-01-2007, 05:13 PM

I got a remake of Simon's Quest.

You'd think they'd try harder to update the graphics.

Yeah, but at least that LCD screen makes the graphics really sharp.

*Cure* · 06-04-2007, 10:15 PM

Double post, oh well.

I got Lumines Live and Alien Hominid on the XBLA. Lumines Live is ok, but Alien Hominid is a blast, even when frustrating. And I may get jumped for this, but to me, that game has the best graphics I've ever seen. It's the only game that has honestly made me go "Wow, look at that." Don't get me wrong, Gears is great and is amazing from a technical standpoint, but realistic graphics are......unsurprising?.......I guess is the word I'm looking for. AH is just like playing a cartoon an is damn pretty in HD. I dunno, that's the best way I can explain it.

Peanut · 06-05-2007, 12:00 AM

I'm with you, man. No reason to be jumped over that. It is a great looking game. The style is terrific. Castle Crashers looks even better, it's really too bad it got pushed all the way into 08'.

I picked up Puzzle Quest too since Panel de Pon hasn't shipped here yet. I'll play it a couple of days until PdP shows up.

Gamestop:
i picked up my pre-ordered Mario Party 8

before that from Wal-mart:
Sonic and the Secret Rings

i hate that sonic game so much, the controls are impossible to work with, he just keeps running no matter what, i have to brake in hopes of not running into a stream of fire, just to get hit by a spinning ball of doom! DX

~~Toonami Tom~~ · 06-05-2007, 10:32 PM

I ordered online the XBox 360 version of Pirates of the Carribbean: At World's End. I played the demo and thought it was pretty fun. http://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/p/pi...n3/default.htm

Welcome to the world of terrible games from Sonic Team. They should be disbanded, but it isn't going to happen.

Anyways, I've got some stuff to try to get over time. I'm long overdue to play Prince of Persia: Sands of Time, and the demo of Pac-Man Championship Edition was fricking sweet. I didn't expect it to be, but it is. The same can be said for DiRT (gotta' love the intentionally poor grammar ala NiGHTS). The game is a sim, but it's just "arcady" enough for me to get into. The demo got me going hard.

But life doesn't matter until I can find Planet Puzzle League. Apparently it is selling like fire. Time to put my godlike skills to use after all these years. Glad I kept the DS Phat. I'll need it's tight D-Pad for this.

Thy hast forsaken thine poor wallet.

junkboy · 06-07-2007, 05:18 AM

I had bought that Wii Sonic game too and i must say i do not like it too. I rarely play it.

I have just ordered Mario Strikers Charged and hoıping the game to arrive nowadays.
If there are any PAL wii users in site having that game, maybe we can play online.

Jed · 06-08-2007, 09:29 AM

Got an original Xbox with a ton of games. I should make most of the money back when I trade in all the games, if not all of it.

Peanut · 06-08-2007, 03:43 PM

I bought Call of Juarez for the 360. Complete impulse buy. I went in looking for something to ease the pain of my PSP. My MP3 player broke, which resulted in me taking my PSP to work. I usually bring my DS and MP3 player, but since the PSP can play games, I figured I'd kill two birds with one stone. Imagine my surprise when I discovered there was nothing worth owning! SHOCK! So Call of Juarez it is!

I wanna hear your thoughts on it because I was thinking of picking it up after the beta is done. It looks like it could be some fun.

Another option is the Nintendo MP3 Player. Right now, it has only been released in Europe (and in Japan as the Play-Yan), but that doesn't really matter since the DS is not region locked.

**ThirdMarioBro** · 06-09-2007, 05:59 AM

Yeah, I use the Play-Yan in combination with my Game Boy Micro all the time. They make a great pair. It's got a higher volume setting than the Ipod, has no moving parts so it's literally indestructible, and combine that with an arm strap and you've got gold. The songs are also easier to navigate. I chose it over Apple's junk because it's cheap, fully functional, and easy to use.

It is really fun, but it's also kind of a mixed bag. And I say that because you play as two different characters, and one of them isn't all that great. You basically switch off between the two of them every other episode, so you play them pretty much evenly. You've got Billy, the wimpy little punk who has to stealth, shoot a horrible bow and arrow, and walk for really long distances with nothing to look at. And you've got Reverend Ray, the gunslinging, bible quoting, "Sword of God" who kicks so much ass it's ridiculous. I'd say the game is worth it just for the Reverend, but if you've got limited funds, I'd wait for a price drop, or to find it used. If you've got the money to blow, though, you really can't go wrong. I haven't tried online yet, but I heard it's actually really fun.

**ThirdMarioBro** · 06-11-2007, 11:59 AM

Planet Puzzle League...finally.

Jed · 06-11-2007, 07:31 PM

PoP Trilogy arrived today and I got bored last night and bought PacMan for XBLA... damn my impulse spending

**ThirdMarioBro** · 06-12-2007, 02:31 AM

Hooked on Phonics is your friend. Your gamertag reveals your bad grammer. You bought the Pac-"Men".

Jed · 06-12-2007, 12:59 PM

I only got the trial of CE, I really wanna get it but I had to pay €140 off the credit card today and I'm going to London for the weekend so I'm trying to keep my spending to a minimum... I wish I was rich. Either that or games were free!
