Man, if you're getting a 360 for exclusives I think you could do better than Dead Rising and Blue Dragon. Maybe try for Shadow Complex (XBox Live), Infinite Undiscovery, Tales of Vesperia, Beautiful Katamari, Crackdown, or even Gears of War or Halo 4 if you are into those kinds of games. I mean, if you get $1000 that is.


Meh, it's all about opinion. But, I did forget about Crackdown, which is one of my favorite games of last generation. However, I absolutely loved Dead Rising. As for Blue Dragon, I thought it was great too. I admit that it's not the best JRPG, but it's above average and one of the best JRPG's on the system. Also, I did like the Gears games, as well as Halo. Katamari has never really been my thing and I've been thinking about jumping into the Tales series. I will probably start with Xillia.

I traded my 360 in when I preordered my PS4 because the 360 was on it's last leg and thought that I wasn't going to spend an additional $250 on a new one when I could put that same money towards a PS4 instead. What I really regret is trading is all my games with it too. I wish I had held on to them.

I want to say that I'd use it to beef up my NES, 32X, and Virtual Boy library, but... I'd probably put it toward the x-files pinball machine. That's my real dream.

It's weird... I'm sure I'll spend $1000 this year on gaming. Positive. And yet, it'll be on small-ish (probably mostly sub-$100) purchases that'll just add up.

But if you gave me $1000 all at once? I'm finally getting into arcade gaming. Most likely with a nice $500ish supergun and a consolized Atomiswave (because I already have an AES with a convertor coming soon, and it seems like after an MVS the Atomiswave is the system that has the SECOND most games that I would love to play)

Yeah, just want to have them on the shelve. I try to get all my favorites in physical form. My Twilight Zone looks awesome between Outer Limits and Lost in Space. :D

Frag Mortuus: Yeah, no worries man. Personal opinion definitely. Dead Rising was fun for me until the escort mission. That pretty much killed the game for me and I never picked it up again.

As for Blue Dragon, I only played the demo which really didn't grab me at all. I guess I would probably appreciate it more if I played the full game from the beginning. The demo just made it feel super generic to me. I'm starting to wonder if there is a such thing as a "good JRPG demo" though.

I'd buy a PVM or two, a Twin Fami, a MSX, a modded PCE Duo R and a few CiB games that interest me.

Lone Gunmen, on the other hand, is supremely cheap. :lol:
