[General Discussion] Recent Game Purchases, or what I bought instead of fourteen new dildos this weekend

I very recently got mah Wii along with a couple of games to go with it.

Wii Sports is surprisingly fun. Multiplayer baseball sessions are always fun, and the custom Miis add some unique awesomeness to the gameplay.

Wario Ware: Smooth Moves is hilarious. Completely random microgames coupled with stances to use the Wiimote with bring good times. I definitely need to get more Wiimotes so all of my friends can play this game.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Picked up quite a few goodies yesterday, so I have some games on the backburner and ready to occupy any leftover time I may have!

Wii Play is plenty of fun for its value. The controller that came with it probably costs about... 70% of the total amount? Anyway, the game is very short and isn't keeping my attention as much as Wii Sports did. I'll try getting the gold medals on each of the modes as soon as I have less games I want to try out.

Planet Puzzle League is stellar. It has plenty of modes that weren't previously available in Tetris Attack, and the computer's AI doesn't pin itself into a corner very easily. I'm already addicted to the game, but I fear that, outside of WiFi, it isn't going to hold my attention for very long. I already went through most of the modes with a fairly high score in a span of six hours.

Mario Party 8 isn't as bad as most reviewers made it out to be. The game doesn't break any new ground by any means, but the game's still enjoyable. Having multiple people around makes the game much better since the CPU's AI is far from challenging, even on Hard.

I also reserved Pokemon Battle Revolution while I was at GameStop. Hopefully, the Wii's WiFi is put to good use for this game.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I totally took advantage of a GameStop 50% off sale today after I was done with some last minute shopping for Father's Day. Buying Katamari Damacy for $10 seems good. I remember playing the game on a friend's PlayStation 2 for hours, and I'll be damned if I pass up an opportunity like this.

The Sega Genesis Collection was also only $10. I figure, at worst, I'll be spending only two bucks more on Sonic the Hedgehog for the PS2 than on the Wii's VC. I'll also get to play some other games for that extra two bucks.

Odin Sphere was only $20, so I figure I'd grab it before it skyrockets back to its original price tag of $40.

Although not pertaining to the Gamestop sale, I bought a used copy of Valkyrie Profile 2 for about $20. The disk seems kind of beat up, but I can return it when I'm near Gamestop tomorrow if it turns out to be completely unplayable.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
