Not a bad month.

My obsession with retro game compilations continues unabated.

I think Racketboy dictated my purchasing habits a bit this month too. Ultimate Shooting Collection, Gaiares, Phelios, Galactic Attack, and Ogre Battle were all picked up specifically for Shmup of the Month or Together RPG.

Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon 2 (Gamecube)
F-Zero GP Legend (GBA)
*NEW* True Crime: Streets of LA (Gamecube)

Small month for pickups, still trying to get back into buying after not being able to for a couple of months, but I've got a GBA game coming from a RB member next week and I'll be checking out a new retro store in a couple of weeks as well as returning to the flea market where I got the F-Zero GBA game.

Hey Bone have you played Halo before? Do you have a 360? The HD version is awesome and you can toggle between new and old graphics on the fly to see how things changed.

February is off to a good start! Today, I picked up:

Alien Chaos 3D (3DS; NEW) for $10
Gabrielle's Ghostly Groove 3D (3DS; NEW) for $10
DuckTales (GB) for $6
Donkey Kong Country (GBA) for $10
Mickey's Speedway USA (N64) for $6
Fallout: New Vegas - Ultimate Edition (PS3; CIB) for $10

I am most excited about the obscure (but well-reviewed) 3DS games and the Ultimate Edition of Fallout: New Vegas.

Yeah I'll probably get that eventually along with my favorite Halo game..... Halo Wars.

I don't know how to tell you this man, but......

it's still January.

[Fragems]

Picked up a ton of stuff today but out of everything there are only 4 that I really care to add to my collection.

Metropolismania 2(PS2)
Sounds like a pretty interesting game and I always like stuff from Natsume.

Gears of War Judgement(360)
Only Gears of War game i didn't have. Reminds me that I really need to play through the series . Have only beaten Gears of War. Think my copies of 2 and 3 are still sealed . The download code of Gears of War was unused with this game although I have no use for it.

The House of the Dead Overkill Extended Cut(PS3)
Thought this would be a cool game to use with the move.

Savage Skies(PS2)
Looks interesting not expecting much out of it but might be worth playing.

January ended on a high note!

After you mentioned that I just popped on ebay to see if that game is really cheap now, not really in RTS but found one brand new for $13 shipped with the DLC included (platinum label, ironic that those versions are more desireable now haha). Been meaning to try this game out, glad its cheap enough now thanks for reminding me.

(platinum label, ironic that those versions are more desireable now haha).

Yeah..... I picked up Lost Planet this month too. The most complete version (with all the characters/maps) is only available as a Platinum Hits version. I don't care, but I know it would drive some purist collectors crazy.

Certain Platinum Hits games only say "Platinum Hits" on the spine, not the name of the game! I dunno if Halo Wars is like that, thankfully Lost Planet isn't.
