I bought a couple of games for the ps2

CyGirls
Castlevania Lament Of Innocence
PoP The Two Thrones
Metal Gear Solid 3 Snake Eater
Arc the Lad EoD
Dead to Rights II

with trade in, I got all six for 55$ over at MicroPlay -_^

Fuck yeah, Snake Eater. This game seems to be the least liked in the series, but I thought it was the best by far.

I only saw the trailer for MGS3, now that I bought it I get the chance to play it :p I'll have to finish a few games first as Im quite busy with other PS2 titles. I dont doubt it for a second, looked great on the trailer, and it'll probably be better when I get the chance to play it :)

I picked up the collector's edition of Dragon Age: Origins for the PC.

Christ man, expound a little. You turn it into a list and we'll slit your throat. Or at least let Skills fuck with your profile. Something.

Personally, I was surprised by how much I've been enjoying Dragon Age. I really thought I'd be underwhelmed by it, given how lackluster I found Mass Effect (Choose your own adventure boring etc). But DA really does have that Baldur's Gate feel, and the world they created is quite strong. I stand as an advocate of it (so far. Four hours in.)

I also recommend you give that flash game they made a try. Interesting story plus rewards in game.

I got breadrolls. Let's take a look inside!

Man.

These breadrolls look pretty fuckin' gross.

Just bought this over ebay, should be coming in sometime next week.

Not technically a purchase but a mate gave me GTA: Episodes from Liberty City for 360 as a get weel soon present (And because he has a PS3 and wouldn't get to play the expansions otherwise). I had no intention of buying the episodes myself as I thought GTAIV was pretty dull but as I have them it'd be rude not to play them now. Should make a change from all the Sacred 2 I've been playing although I did have plans to clear my backlog which this hasn't helped at all.

I'm envious :|

I purchased Metroid Prime 3 over the weekend. Surprisingly, it's a Wii game AND I enjoy it!

Past 2 days, I bought Dragon's Age, Assassin's Creed 2 and Left 4 Dead 2.

DA is ballin' but I'll play that after AC2 (same old gameplay but a tad prettier, more weapons and armor pieces) is done. As for L4D2, I'm up for multiplayer if anyone wants to play. Otherwise I'll play it sparingly.

Picked up the God of War Collection yesterday. Oddly enough the release date was on Wed instead of Tues, I guess it was cause of AC2 being out on Tuesday. Worked out for me anyway since I got back in town yesterday. Time to start gettin' dem trophies.

Also pre bought Lunar: Silver Star Harmony.

That new red case for New Super Mario Bros. Wii looks BALLIN on my game shelf. :3:

Also grabbed [ie: downloaded] Dragon Age for PC just to see if it would run, and to give it a quick test play. Looks awesome so far.

Seriously people. There's a shortage of quality games in the fucking industry. Try supporting them when they crop up.

I wish I can get it, but 59.99 CAD is just too much for me right now. What happened to Wii games being 49 or even 39? Now Wii is 60$ and PS3 is 70. :(

Ouch, Canadian money.

Picked up Left 4 Dead 2 the other day. The game is amazing and so much harder than the original. I'm having a blast with the game playing with some of the Backloggery members I chat with.

Oh, I fully intend on picking it up next payday. I just wanted to give it a quick test run before spending $70 on it. That, and I wanted to make sure my PC could actually RUN it. At this point, I'd rather play that type of game on PC than on a console.

Speaking of which, how IS the console version, control-wise?

Yeah, for reals. D:

Can You Run It

Plenty of places to check if it runs.

As for console controls, the PC wins hands down. Definitely. The PS3 and the PC seem to be more or less on par in terms of graphics, but the Circle Box is a real step down from both. I've played it on PC and console, and although I miss the PC controls, I wouldn't recommend anyone away from the console versions. They're still smooth and very usable. Just not quite as slick as its PC counterpart.

Did a bit of shopping since the last time I posted in my thread.

Starting from the top-left, going clockwise:

Mario and Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story
Charming and very funny. However, I'm also on the sentiment that the game has too many characters who have speaking quirks. You'd think one or two toads or something would speak normal goddamn english.

Phantom Brave: We Meet Again
Phantom Brave is definitely showing its age, both with graphics (looks like ass on my tv) and gameplay (still pales in comparison to Makai Kingdom). I like the tropical setting, however, and I still haven't beaten it.

Rygar: Battle of Argus
Just a slightly-enhanced port of the Rygar on PS2. That itself was a pretty good action title, but I have no idea why they decided to "update" Rygar's appearance. It looks like utter garbage.

Baten Kaitos Origins
I didn't have any patience for card-type games in the past, but, feeling that I had a more open mind about them now, I picked up Origins. It's a prequel, so it felt like I could play this for a better understanding of the original.

Brutal Legend
The demo is soooo misleading. I was under the impression that it was an action game, but then it suddenly changed into an RTS. Certainly not a bad thing, just unexpected.

Borderlands
If Fallout 3 was 70% RPG and 30% action, this is 30% RPG and 70% action. Just got into the Dahl Headlands and finished off Skagzilla. Great, so far.

Left 4 Dead 2
Bought it at the behest of my Gamestop manager friend, I've spent most of my time playing it with her or Colonel Skills and his usual suspects. Some great times to be had, I must admit.

"C'mon, we're at 8 [of 13]. Only two left."
"....Yyyeah, I wish I could count like that."

The Wizard of Oz: Beyond the Yellow Brick Road
Extremely endearing and even a bit heartwarming. I think the character interaction, while minimal, was handled very well. Good stuff, even if it's a bit too straightforward.

Not pictured:
Disgaea 3
Dragon Age: Origins
Gyromancer (due to it being a download)

Thanks for the info. As for that System Req Lab, I've NEVER had luck with that site. For some strange reason, nothing I've EVER tried will make it work on my PC. It's just weird. :/

Dragon Age: Origins Video Game, PC/PS3/360 Comparison HD | Game Trailers & Videos | GameTrailers.com

If you want to be a real shithead about it.

I picked up Assassin's Creed II and Knights in the Nightmare at Fry's Electronics the other day. A few days before that, I purchased Super Mario 64 DS and WarioWare Touched! from a coworker. Those two were 10 bucks together, complete.

is there really a difference between the consoles? I cant see anything significant in that video.

I see basically negligible differences. PC is better though because of the old school camera angle choice and mods. I went 360 though because of crap computer.
