Game Purchases Thread

Bought The Orange Box the other day.
Damn it kicks ass, and now that TF2 doesn't lag, it's even better.

Be sure you play it on veteran

I was fairly disappointed with the campaign mode on CoD4. I didnt really play any of the previous one's, so i dont know how they did them, but I didnt like this one.

It honestly seems like a million mindless firefights where you and your team are on one side and you just kill everything on the other side -- once complete, you move up a little ways. And repeat.

So i didnt play that part of it too much. HOWEVER, the multiplayer is simply amazing, Ive had the game since tuesday(i think? or wednesday, i cant remember now) and have already clocked 24 hours online.

I got 2007, the fighting was a huge improvement over previous games, but the season mode was horribly, horribly, horribly, horribly.....


horribly disappointing.

Create-a-star was pretty damn good, though. Could make whoever you wanted.

If 2008 improves the season mode, and maybe make a couple more changes to fighting, it should be a damn good wrestling game.

He says it's much better. I don't know personally, since I haven't played it, nor have I played 2007 for comparison...

finally received my copies of kingdom hearts 1 & 2 in the mail, still waiting on final fantasy 8

[Roux!]

Heh. My copy of FFIX got lost in the mail.

Going for another one!

Just bought a Super Nintendo with all the cables and 2 controllers and 4 games, and then I bought 2 more games. The SNES looks to be in pretty damn good shape too.

The games that came with the SNES are:
Vegas Stakes
Vortex
Bram Stoker's Dracula
Super Scope 6

And I bought:
Star Trek TNG
Super Mario World

SNES + Games was $34.95
TNG was $4.99
Super Mario World was $7.79

Should get Contra 3.

And Earthbound.

And Super Mario All Stars.

Ahh, good ole SNES. Next Gen doesn't even come close to beating out the nostalgia of stompin a goomba's head in.

[Ultimate X]

just got assassin's creed, game of the year for sure

[Seraphis Cain]

Got Super Mario Galaxy and Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles. Umbrella Chronicles is awesome, and Galaxy is my vote for Game of the Year. Just absolutely awe-inspiring.

Heh. My copy of FFIX got lost in the mail.

Meanwhile, in the "what are you playing right now" thread:

Final Fantasy IX, don't know why.

Also, Super Mario World in SnesCube.
