The cutscenes might make you blush and hope no one walks in on you, but the battlesystem and stuff are really good. It was decent.

So I dunno how reserve crazy some people are, but I figured I'd post this anyway. If you go to gamestop.com/credit, you can claim your unused reserve money and print it out. I was expecting to get $10, but it turns out I had $35. I have no idea where it came from, but whatever. Try it out if you know you have some reserved games you haven't picked up.

Playing nfs2se again got it to work on virtaul pc with windows 95 installed on it.

This is why I never take you seriously.

I got Soul Calibur II for PS2 yesterday.

*Dr. Doom* · 12-21-2009, 08:23 PM

Very good game, very good indeed.

*Cure* · 12-21-2009, 08:31 PM

Pft, it's better on the GameCube. You get to play as Link! WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Gotta love how predictable the Spin Attack is against the AI though. They duck every f*cking time.

*Turo602* · 12-21-2009, 11:05 PM

The latest games I have bought were

TMNT Arcade Attack
Super Mario 64 DS
Crash of the Titans DS
Batman Arkham Asylum 360 for 30 Bucks
Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 360 for 30 Bucks
X-men Origins Wolverine 360 for 25 Bucks

Amazon is great way to save money on video games I have been getting many great games on the cheaps and new.

Just in case you were wondering how I got those three 360 60 dollar games so cheap.

**ThirdMarioBro** · 12-21-2009, 11:23 PM

Yeah, I've started pre-ordering some of my games there to save a buck since the shipping is free, unless its something I need day one, in which case there's a Gamestop about ninety seconds from the house. I also saved a lot on there when I was buying some LPs in batches.

Just went on a download spree. Flower is probably the most relaxing game I've played in a long time. Almost magical in a sense.

*Cure* · 12-22-2009, 05:15 PM

I beat Star Ocean, and like I was expecting, it was just alright. The battle system was really the saving grace.

*Turo602* · 12-22-2009, 05:19 PM

I just got back to playing Sonic the Hedgehog a couple of days ago and finally completed it.

*Cure* · 12-22-2009, 09:08 PM

I just did some more of A Boy and his Blob since I beat Star Ocean and I gotta say, it's pretty fun and charming.

Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks

Pretty good thus far.

I still need to get to that I have a lot of games I haven't played yet.

Patraw · 12-23-2009, 10:22 AM

Right now I'm playing Duel Masters: Sempai Legends, Breath of Fire, and Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance for Game Boy Advance. Castlevania: Curse of Darkness, Viewtiful Joe, Sega Genesis Collection, and Warriors of Might & Magic for Playstation 2.

*Mecha Cow* · 12-23-2009, 03:26 PM

Just checked out the Dante's Inferno demo. It sucked a lot less than I expected --unlike most games of this type, I found it to be actually playable: I guess unlike the Japanese, Western developers don't completely suck at making 3D action games?-- though the game's setting, style and general baditude are stupid at best and tasteless at worst (I like how the game pretends to be all hardcore by featuring *gasp* naked breasts, but still shies away from showing actual genitals). Also has some surprisingly nice visuals, although the animated cutscenes are beyond ugly.

For those who have played it, is the gameplay in this similar to God of War (i.e. Should I be interested in GoW3)?

It wouldn't hurt ya.

poiuytre · 12-23-2009, 05:29 PM

I haven't bothered with the demo, but if it's still like some of the earlier footage, then yes it is blatantly close to God of War down to the excessive baditude. If you liked Dante's Inferno and don't mind a very liberal take on Greek mythology, by all means. You might want to look at the God of War Collection until then.
