Yeah, they sure do. I'm hoping I enjoy it and can recommend it when I'm done with it. Someone on the forum described it as Suda 51-ish, which sounds cool. I've always liked the character too.

I would have played this sooner, but it's been in my Gamefly queue forever as "low availability" and it seems like they're never going to get in a copy that they can send to me. So I finally gave up and just bought it

I'm thinking about cancelling gamefly. They NEVER have the new stuff in stock it seems

Another download heavy month for me. Mario & Yoshi and Mystery Dungeon were bought off a family member just for to bolster my collection more than anything. Kid Icarus was a repurchase on Wii U VC as I already have it on Wii, Metroid was 50% off because I owned Kid Icarus. Donkey Kong was this months (and the final) 30p Famicom Anniversery game. Attack of the Friday Monsters is a game I was curious about, so I splashed out, and Shantae and Earthbound are games I've been waiting too long to miss. Theme Park was a cheap purchase to keep me occupied on a long drive whilst on holiday.

I'm hoping to pick up Pikmin 3 this month, so I can imagine next month being kinda pricy. We'll see.

(apologies for the blurry pic, the camera did not want to cooperate)

This one I have had on my want list for a while, but while I knew that it was between common and rare (it was a launch title), I waited for a better price. Then I got on eBay for $1.75 :lol: I have heard favorable comparisons about this to Mario Kart Super Circuit also on GBA, and who else would not want to race as Vic Viper? Come on now.

Very astute observation! I bought HL2:Ep1 in order to play the (supposedly) wonderful mod MINERVA, which it requires. I previously have played through HL2 and it's episodes on the Orange Box on Xbox when it was released and didn't feel the need to purchase Ep2 again. :)
