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

Name/list games you have bought recently, maybe during GFF's downtime.

I bought Geist for GC, but am yet to play it. Also I was given Wario Ware: Twisted for GBA by a friend. So far, it's my favourite Wario Ware.

Note:
To prevent spam posts, you must elaborate on your purchases. Don't just tell what you bought, You should explain why you bought it, where, when, how and any other interesting stories you might have about the game or the purchase itself.
If your purchase has no interesting stories to tell, don't post. If your post consists merely of what you bought, it will be deleted.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Today I bought Alien Hominid for PS2 at the bargain price of AU$20. I haven't yet played it, but I did read good reviews about it.

Also yesterday I bought a SEGA MegaDrive II (or to you crazy Americans a Genesis), with 4 games (Sonic 3, Sonic & Knuckles, Super Street Fighter II and Ghouls 'n Ghosts). I originally was planning on replacing my SNES which broke 2 days ago, but saw the MegaDrive at a cheapish price ($20 and $5 a game/extra control). I didn't have a MegaDrive when they were released originally, but so far I am enjoying it.

How ya doing, buddy?

Ikaruga


But of course I am getting the PAL with the horrible cover art

I purchased this today online, so it should be a couple of weeks until I see it.

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

Funny I recently bought Star Fox Assault and think it is nowhere near as bad as people have said, I really enjoy it. The only thing I found wrog with it was it was too short. It's not in the league of Lylat Wars (Star Fox 64) though, but I think it's better than the original, for some reason I really hated it.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

What novelty?

I was speaking idiomatically.

Awesome, I didn't know Megaman ZX had come out yet. Time to import!

In other news in the last month or so I have bought:

1080: Avalanche - I always meant to pick this up, but I didn't want to pay full price, but I found it at a cheap, cheap price and I couldn't hel;p myself.

Star Fox: Command - I really like this game, but then it's Star Fox so I am pretty much automatically going to love it.

Mario Smash Football - I pretty much bought this for my brother, I haven't played it much but it seems pretty ok.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I bought MegaMan ZX for Nintendo DS about a week ago, I think. It's very similar still to the MegaMan formula, even with the new "biometal" addition. As much as I love the MegaMan formula, I though the biometals would give it a freshness, which sadly isn't the case. It's also missing (from the MegaMan Zero series) the ratings system, which I liked. I feel there isn't really anything to aim higher for in the game, but all in all, I'd give it 7/10.
