Games Acquired 2013

[AppleQueso]

I haven't finished RE4, but I did play it and unless it gets way better after the "castle", we'll just have to agree to disagree.

The laboratory segment on the island after the castle thing is by far my favorite part of the game.

I haven't been keeping a list this year, but I've recently filled some higher-tier gaps in my collection:



That's a Hannah Montana edition PSP 3000. I love the glittered lilac casing and buttons.

Everything altogether cost me about $150 (shipping included, I had to import that Buffy game from London). Given the scarcity of some of these items I'd say I made out with a pretty fair deal overall.

1. Eternal Darkness is developed by Silicon Knights not Nintendo. Nintendo was just the publisher.
2. Eternal Darkness is the best game for the Gamecube.

1. I didn't look at the back of the case. FAIL (although you gotta give props to Nintendo even PUBLISHING an M-rated game)
2. That justifies what I paid for it, then I always do my homework, but I saw nothing but glowing reviews for this.

How much did you get Cubivore for? That game's crazy expensive!

$57 shipped.

The manual's a little beat up (you can't tell unless you flip through), but it doesn't bother me that much as everything else is in great shape. I just feel lucky to finally have a copy, honestly.

As far as I know, that's a pretty good price. Atlus can get just as bad as Nintendo on the premium I hope it's good!

Yeah, that part was pretty awesome. I remember being so blown away by RE 4. The graphics, production value, sound, etc. It's easy for people to forget, given that RE 4 has been ported everywhere, but it was at one time the showpiece game for the GC I think. At the time, I was like, "Wow, this is why I own a Gamecube." It was a GC exclusive too, but Sony eventually talked Capcom into porting it and thus its journey to every system known to man began. I remember reading somewhere that Mikami promised it would remain forever a GC exclusive, but Capcom was like, "Screw you, we like money and don't care if it makes you look bad."

Is the Buffy game good? There's practically nothing about it on the internet. The Buffy Xbox game was great, and the sequel Chaos Bleeds was sort of okay. I never knew there were any other Buffy games of note.

How is Thor (NDS)? I have been thinking about picking that game up for some time.

I've never played the game first hand, but intend to once my copy arrives in the mail, which will probably be tomorrow. I've seen and read a lot of stuff about the game though that makes me pretty sure I'm going to enjoy it. Wayforward is usually pretty good about making 2D sidescrollers and I enjoyed their Double Dragon Neon game, as well as Shantae:Risky's Revenge. So I think I'll probably have a lot of fun with Thor. It's supposed to be an old school, 2D brawler, which is right up my alley. The game's pretty cheap now, under 10 dollars on amazon

On another note, I own Rhythm Thief & The Emporer's Treasure now. I plan on getting Castlevania Lords of Shadow: Mirror of Fate and Mario vs Donkey Kong: Mini Land mayhem next. I'm currently scratching an itch to start collecting some DS and 3DS games again. Truth is, I love cartridge based games which makes them fun systems to collect for whenever I have some disposable income.

I've been too busy to try it out yet, but from what I've watched online, it combines third-person action, with FPS crossbow parts, and even vertical shmup-esque parts (where you play as Buffy w/ the crossbow).

I actually also really enjoyed the GBA game. It's clunky, but charming. The GBC game is good on a rainy day too. I like all Buffy games.

2013 will probably be more of slimming down what I'll never play again, and playing through what I already have. I am okay with that though.

Sweet pickups. I'm a big racing fan, and the Flag to Flag demo on the original DC demo disc blew me away. I didn't know TDLM was officially licensed, but I knew that you could do the real 24 hours race (if you chose to!). Incoming is from the same developer that brought us Expendable, so it's also gonna be good.
