Ordered Puzzle Quest: Challenge Of The Warlords for the Nintendo DS and Guitar Hero (all this talk about GH 80's Edition reminded me that I need this).

Oh man. Might as well put everything else in your life on hold once you get Puzzle Quest.

I bought Pokemon Battle Revolution for the Wii from a game/department store in Tokyo-Harajuku, Japanese version of course. Cost 3900 yen. Also bought Atelier Elise 2 (or whatever it`s called) Premium Box for 2,900 yen. Which I was very pleased with becuase there were two free figures with it. And got some other cool PS1&2 games from Book Off in Shinjuku, most were about 105-300 yen, so I liked Book Off a lot.

If you end up liking Aterlier Iris 2 you NEED to check out Ar Tonelico, if you haven't done so already
I didn't buy it, but I got Driver 76 in the mail yesterday. It's pretty fun for a GTA clone (I'm not really a fan of GTA myself)

Tomb Raider - Anniversary Collector's Edition.

I bought it the last weekend, but I'll play it for the first time in a couple of hours

Ordered Guild Wars: Factions and Guild Wars: Nightfall. I loved the first one, and I don't really know why I haven't bought these sooner.

edit: Also bought Blazing Lazers and Super Mario Bros. for the Virtual Console a while back.

Hello from Japan! =o I bought Persona II: Innocent Sin and Persona II: Eternal Punishment for about 800 yen each the other day. o.O Innocent Sin goes for like...at least forty dollars on ebay usually, and I got it for under seven... There's a crazy-cheap shop for second hand games just around the corner from my brother's house. I have no idea how much a Japanese Eternal Punishment is worth. Probably not much, but I saw it sitting there and couldn't resist. It's such an awesome game.

Oh, and I bought a PSP the other day too, since they're appealingly cheap here. It was mainly for homebrew (and that tasty PSX emulator), but any recommendations as to good PSP games would be welcome. I already bought Tales of the World: Radiant Mythology, Eiyuu Densetsu: Shiroki Majo (which is meant to have a lame English translation, but a nice story) and Gensosuikoden 1&2. Though Suikoden was just fanboy-age, really. I have the PSX versions of both, and the loading times are probably a good deal worse on the PSP port, but... It's Suikoden II. I had to support one of my favourite games ever. And it was only one thousand yen, so... I figured why not.

Anyway, compared to Britain, games are crazy-cheap here. I've already had to refrain from buying Bahamut Lagoon, Seiken Densetsu 3, Vagrant Story, and any number of others. What's more, Trusty Bell: Chopin no Yume comes out today. It looks so pretty, and I know that if I go into game stores and see it on the shelf, I'll probably have to fight the urge to buy an XBox360 and a copy. I totally would, too, if I believed I could lug it home along with the rest of my baggage.
