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

I got the 'Aeon Flux' game today for the XBOX. I paid $25 for it. I'm about half way through the second level. The game is quite good. One of the better movie based video games. I haven't seen the movie, so I can't compare the two. Charlize Theron does the voice for the Aeon Flux character. She does a good enough job, but it sounds like she is really board with everything.

How ya doing, buddy?

I bought NCAA Footbal 2006 today for $19. Like the last two NCAA Fotball titles ('04 & '05) it's really fun. I won the first game I played for '06. The gameplay is a little better. But, unfortunatly the graphics, audio, and commentary hasn't changed much. I'm playing as Notre Dame.

I just got 'Hitman:Blood Money' for the XBOX. I've played the first two levels so far. Things are good. I've played 'Hitman 2' and 'Hitman:Contracts'. I like the added gameplay elements that are in 'Blood Money': climbing, hiding in closets, bribes, weapon upgrades, notoriaty, distracting, etc. The one thing that I don't like is that you can't have mid-level saves. They get erased when you quit the game. It wasn't like that in the other games.

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

Today I bought an XBOX 360 (premium setup). I got three games to go with it: 1)Perfect Dark Zero, 2)Tomb Raider: Legend, and 3)Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter. I read great reviews for G.R.A.W and OK to good reviews for the other two. I spent $552 on everything. All three games I bought used. Gamestop is having a 'buy two used games, get one free' deal. The system is new. I've only played Perfect Dark Zero so far. I'm a couple of levels in right now. I'll play the others soon and write about them.

Today I bought 'Gun' for the XBOX 360 at a Gamestop for $35. It has a 75 out of 100 rating at Metacritic.com. I had been interested in the game for a while. I could have paid $20 less for the XBOX version, but I really wanted a new game for my 360. I havn't played it a lot lately and when I do play it I usually only play Hexic.

I got 'The Godfather' for the 360 in late September. A great game. A lot to do. Over 32 hours into it and I'm not done yet. A very immersive game. It's to bad that Al Pacino didn't paticipate in the game.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I got Call of Duty 2 Game of the Year Edition for the 360 today for $35 at Best Buy. A bonus DVD is included. It's a great game. Very intense. COD 2 is my first World War 2 game. I'll get COD 3 when it comes out.

I got Dark Angel today for the XBOX for $5. I played through the first level and so far I like it. The game got a lot of bad reviews. I hope the rest of the game is as entertaining as the first level. Last Friday I got Alias for the XBOX for $6. It's entertaining, but it can be a little slow at times. I'm on the fourth level right now.

I got Splinter Cell: Double Agent for the 360 today. I'm at the start of the third level. So far so good. I don't know where this one will rank against the other Splinter Cells yet. The game keeps track of a lot more things, the different things you do through out the game. The game takes points off for a lot of different things. The game even takes points off for knocking people out and shooting out lights.

I got Condemned: Criminal Origins for the 360 today. I had played the demo and thought it was good enough to buy. I'm in the second level. It's good so far. There have been some pretty scary and intense moments.

I got 'Splinter Cell: Double Agent' for the original XBOX today. I also got it for the 360 when it came out in mid-October. The reason I got the XBOX version is that the levels are different from the 360 version and the story is told better (or so I've read). I'm at the start of the second level. When I get done with the XBOX version I'll compare the two versions.

I got 'Call of Duty 3' on Wednesday. I'm at the start of the fourth level. So far it's as good as 'Call of Duty 2'. It has improved visuals. I really like the music for the game. The main menu music is great. Joel Goldsmith is the composer of the music. He's Jerry's son.

Most amazing jew boots

I got Doom and Contra for XBOX Live arcade. Both are fun to play. I wish Contra was the NES version, but the arcade version is still good.

Yesterday I got AstroPop and Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 for the XBOX Live Arcade. Both are worth the $10. AstroPop is a really addictive puzzle game. It a challange. I havn't played a Mortal Kombat game in years. It's just as fun as I remember.

I bought 'Gears of War' today for $45 at Circuit City. I'm at the start of the second level. The game is pretty good so far. The game looks great, really makes me wish I had a high definition TV.

I got 'The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess' for the Gamecube today from Circuit City for $38. I've played three hours of the game so far and I'm loving every minute of it. My 360 is going to get a lot less playing time for a while. I was thinking about waiting to get the game until I get a Wii sometime next year, but I couldn't wait that long to play a new Zelda game.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

I bought F.E.A.R for the 360 two days ago. I played the demo and thought it was good enough to buy. It has some good scares and shootouts. But the one thing I don't like is that there can be long periods without shooting at anything.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I got Project Gotham Racing 3 today for $15. I like racing games even though I'm 'OK' at best with most of them. It's going to take me a while to become good at breaking, especially on sharp turns.

I bought a Wii today along with 'Resident Evil 4' for the system. I also bought Contra III and Super Castlevania IV for the Virtual Console. It took a little while for the the Wii's controlers to function the right way. Things were jumpy at first, but things are working fine now. The controls are going to take some getting use to. I traded in a lot of stuff. I got rid of my XBOX and Gamecube along with a number of games for each. The systems and games were rarely being used these days and were literally collecting dust. I'm looking forward to 'Metroid Prime 3' for the Wii. I loved the other two 'Metroid Prime' games.

Yesterday I traded in 13 XBOX 360 games at Gamestop and got $106 in store credit. A lot more than I thought I would get. With the credit I got Medal of Honor:Airborne, The Orange Box, and Bully: Scholarship Edition. All for the 360. I still have a little over $12 in credit. I've wanted all three for a while.

Last Saturday I bought 'Iron Man', 'The Incredible Hulk', and 'Assassin's Creed' at Gamestop. The store had a buy two get one free deal on used games. All three are for the 360. I got 'Assassin's Creed' for free and paid $35 each for the other two. I havn't played 'Assassin's Creed' yet, but the other two are entertaining. 'Hulk' is a sand-box type game. 'Iron Man' is more strait forward. Point A to Point B. The one annoying thing about 'Iron Man' is the amount of enemies the game throws at the player. Way too many.
