[General Discussion] What are you currently playing???

Exit (PSP): Great puzzle game. There are some tricky puzzle I can't manage to finish, but that's the purpose of the game. SOLVE PUZZLE.

We <3 Katamari (PS2): Playing few minutes per day, for the roses level.. argh... pain in the ass to get 1 million!

... well that's it. I was going to buy Shadow Hearts From the New World, but the dumbass at EB said the game won't be "released" before tomorrow. RELEASED and GET IT IN STOCK is not the same. I'll try my luck tonight at another store.

but it wasn't like that few years ago. 3/7 ? 3/7, there you go. Why don't they ship the game during the night, eve to the release date ? Now I have to wait til tomorrow to get my ass out of my house and visit the EB again.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

There's also this to consider -- companies like EA set street dates which force us to hold games and not sell them until a specific date, such as Black. We received Black 5 days ahead of schedule -- no joke. And all we could do was look at all those games in a box and wait for 2/28 to roll around so we could sell them without losing our jobs.

Just for the fun of it, it could have been cool to see a copy of Black before its release... You lose your job but hey... YOU HAVE A GAME BEFORE ANYONE ELSE. ISN'T IT WONDERFUL ? I live in a dream....

err.... anyway I mean, if the game is released on 3/7, then why does it take a day to get it ? The trucks leaves US during the day and it takes a day to come to Canada ??... Why do DVDs get released the same day as expected ?

How ya doing, buddy?

I just picked up Valkyrie Profile Lenneth and Blade Dancer Lineage of Light, both for the PSP. I have yet to play the latter, but for Valkyrie Profile Lenneth, I would say that I was a dumbass for not having picked up the original PS1 release. Damn that game is so great. I don't understand how it really works, but I'm in Chapter 2 right now and I kick ass with my Valkyrie. I like how I can customize my characters, how Icicle Edge always overkills my enemies and it doesn't cost anything to cast. I heard they are 3 endings. I'll try to not get any help for that game, so my friend Martin will need to get off me for a couple of weeks now.

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