You'd be surprised. I once dusted to Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake completely naked.

It's crazy I went to return games I know I won't play and I had spent 44.00 on wii games i will never play. Buying games here and there add up quick. I'm going to be returning more tomorrow. Damn video games are a bad hobby when your broke.

I believe I'd rank the Super Star Wars games jsu like the movies:

Empire
A New Hope
Jedi

Jedi is by far the easiest, and although it is tons of fun, that lack of difficulty takes something away from it. The Vader fight is near perfect, but the Emperor fight is a bit crappy.




What happened to consoles having catch phrases? These days it's "PS4. Here it is".

Collecting video games is a bad hobby when you are broke. Playing them is a totally different story.

Right on.

And in this day and age (or even twenty years ago) there really isn't an excuse to not read a review on a game before dropping coin on it. Even back in the 80's I would read Nintendo Power or Gamepro (anyone else remember Gamepro tv with now tv mogul JD Roth?) before purchasing a game.

It only takes a minute, or less, to get a decent game review, so why shop blindly?

I almost prefer to shop blindly as I think most game reviewers are full of shit.

I find that simple information about a game (developer, publisher, platform, release date, price, availability, genre, region) sways my purchasing decisions more so than any reviews.
