I understand where you're coming from to a certain degree, I buy at least 3-4 games a week and sometimes more, but I also play those older games between releases, as opposed to missing out on new stuff. If you do that you'll be behind on everything forever and that just starts to defeat the purpose.

Oh, I also got Sonic Adventure on XBLA. Very definition of a game aging poorly.

HAHAHA. I know what you mean. It does kinda feel that way, I got like so many Gamcube games to play, and it feels like I can never get to them. But I think I'll be able to catch up someday, because my brother and I play a game alone on our own time, and also have a game to play together side by side or co-op through XBOX LIVE. Like right now I'm working on GTA IV by myself, and where playing through the Splinter Cell series side by side. After that we are going to start Reach through Live and squeeze what we can from it together and go our separate ways on Legendary and online.

And yeah, I played the trial. I think I'll still get it and upgrade to the DX version to give that game more life. It was a good game overall for it's time, but is really awkward nowadays, and also the first Sonic game I truly passed.

Finally picked up SmackDown vs. Raw 2010. Sweet Cheez-Its, I seriously haven't had so much fun with a wrestling game in years, and that's coming from someone who's had serious problems with every single SD game. This one isn't perfect either (they took out way too many CAW patterns and entrance animations), but the paint tool, Create-A-Storyline and the updated gameplay mechanics more than make up for it. They give you so much it's hard to be mad about what they took out. Plus it plays like they merged the best parts of the No Mercy/Day of Reckoning controls with the existing SD controls.

My CAW roster is already maxed out at 50 people and I just started working on a custom storyline. I really hate having to spend so many hours a day at work when I could be at home giving Samoa Joe his moves.

Im playing Medal of honour underground. Finished the panzerknaker campaign.

Voidoid · 09-19-2010, 02:29 PM

Startropics killer game.

**ThirdMarioBro** · 09-23-2010, 05:29 AM

That just doesn't make sense, but whatever.

I may have just closed a deal on a Daytona USA cabinet, Neo-Geo MVS 2-slot, and a PlayChoice-10. The game room growtheth ever larger.

Dude, that's sick. A carry-out up the street from me has a MVS cab, I'm trying to get the owner to sell it to me.

*Mr.Turtle* · 09-23-2010, 09:02 PM

I got super mario smash and sonic secret rings stuff. They will keep me busy for a while.

*Brodie* · 09-23-2010, 10:04 PM

Secret Rings is awful...whats Super Mario Smash? Super SMash Bros?

*Mr.Turtle* · 09-23-2010, 10:15 PM

Pretty much...Super Mario Smash Bro... I love it

Secret rings is a very wierd game, if you ask me. But it was on sale.

*Dr. Doom* · 09-23-2010, 10:20 PM

It's.....it's just Super Smash Bros.

**ThirdMarioBro** · 09-24-2010, 04:37 AM

So yeah, the Daytona USA is locked down. Going to take all weekend to disassemble it into 30 pieces and move them home + upstairs. Wanted one of these things since I was like 10 years old.

Melt · 09-24-2010, 10:53 AM

I'm thinking about picking up Heavy Rain. I was reading a thread in another forum once and it came up in a topic and someone spoiled the killer ID though. Do you think it's still worth picking up and getting as much enjoyment out of even knowing the killer?

*Brodie* · 09-24-2010, 11:25 AM

Not for a new/used price.

As a rental? Its fine, and interesting to look at and experience. But as a whole, its lacking in a lot of ways. I'd suggest picking it up for a weekend, as thats about how long it takes to go through it.

Do NOT spent more than the 10 bucks it'd cost for a rental.

Ok. If I could pick it up for under $10 that'd be great, may be still too new though

*Brodie* · 09-24-2010, 11:31 AM

It's one of the titles that goes on sale frequently through Gamefly, for 9.99-14.99.

*XERO* · 09-24-2010, 04:05 PM

I actually scored Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time with the Master Quest on GameCube. Rawesome.

Peanut · 09-24-2010, 09:13 PM

May have been the single greatest pre-order bonus of all-time.

*XERO* · 09-24-2010, 10:07 PM

Totally. Now if I can only find Wind Waker again...

Peanut · 09-24-2010, 10:20 PM

I was never under the impression it was very difficult to get. Every Gamestop in my area still has at least 4 or 5 copies sitting around.
