Games Acquired 2013

Just discovered a cool retail chain down here that is like Gamestop, but better. They take trade ins on ANYTHING. They let you play anything you want before you buy. They do repairs, and do rentals. I picked up a mint condition Sunset Riders for the SNES from them today - cart only. They had a colecovision I wanted to grab, but not enough money. The clerk and I were talking about the Deadpool game. He said it's fun. I was tempted to buy that too if I had more cash on me

Are you talking about GamePlay?

Sounds like it could be Play N Trade. I've never heard of them doing rentals, but being a franchise, I'm sure the owner could do rentals if they felt like it.

I went to a family reunion this weekend. My aunt knows I'm a big gamer, and she just walks up to me with a plastic bag full of games and goes, "Here, you can have these." How awesome is that? I asked her why she was getting rid of them, and she tells me that they don't touch them anymore because they play XBox 360 games now. I tried to tell her she could trade them in for XBox 360 games, but apparantly she only wants to buy games brand-new. So score for me!

What I got:

PS1:
-Driver 2
-Fear Effect
-N2O: Nitrous Oxide
-The Next Tetris
-Nightmare Creatures
-Parasite Eve II
-Top Gun: Fire At Will!

PS2:
-Grand Theft Auto III
-Killzone
-Rebel Raiders: Operation Nighthawk
-And a stack of PlayStation Magazine demo discs

I got Dragon's Dogma last night, then slept for a solid 12 hours after helluva weekend camping at our family reunion. My family likes to party. So I haven't actually played it yet.

That is the official title from RF Generation and other sites. This was a totally impromptu purchase while I was looking around on eBay, I never even heard of this GT Advance series but the games all looked pretty good. The first game is regular Gran Turismo style racing, the second game is rally racing, the third game appears to be street racing and the fourth game is motorcycle racing. I've never seen 4 full titles on one GBA cartridge but this was new & sealed in box for less than $5. I could not pass that up.

Awesome deal! Let us know what you think about them. If I recall correctly, each game was well-received at release.

I saw good reviews on GameFAQs, and each GT Advance box has a reviewer quote. There are also YouTube videos of the games and the scrolling and graphics look very good and not all broken up like some other GBA racing games. I will definitely post my thoughts.

The seller I bought it from has more copies available for $5 & free shipping, and they're all new & sealed. I used an eBay bucks credit to bring the price down a bit more.
