Haven't gotten it yet, but later today I'll have Lords of Thunder on the Virtual Console.

Awesome game is awesome.

I had some trade credit left, and my Paypal dispute with Foundmy was resolved and the money credited back to me, so I went to the Gamestop after work and bought a copy of No More Heroes.

I haven't started in yet, but I'm eager to, so maybe I'll just go do that.

Paypal went through, so I should have the sims 2, bioshock and tenchu z by this weekend, and lost odyssey should be here by this weekend or next week sometime.

No More Heros.



Sex.

[Cyberxion]

No More Heros.



Sex.

I just finished the first mission. It is indeed sex.

Seriously, I had some misgivings regarding this game, but they were all obliterated pretty-much right after I booted it up. Holy shit, it's better than I was expecting and then some.

Told ya.

Told ya.

I doubted you, but only by virtue of Suda's last high-profile nightmare. I'm not too humble to admit that I was wrong.

Now for a pointless mini-review, sans any sort of facts save for maybe one:

So this game is incredibly fun, but it can almost headache inducing at times.
See, the combat is refreshingly engaging, and the boss-battles are likewise lots of fun, but the open-world stuff looks like a PSX game and still manages to run at a severely low frame-rate most of the time.

It's a great game on the whole, but considering how much time you can spend just riding around the game world looking for random flotsam, as well as missions and weapon upgrades and whatnot, the rough open-world graphics and low frame-rate can be a bitch to handle for those out there who experience motion sickness when they play games. Or anyone with working eyeballs for that matter. It's harsh. Luckily the gameplay is compelling enough that you might just find yourself giving the rest of the game a pass.

Game's I'm getting in the next 4 days or less...
Buying/Trading.

Bioshock, Orange Box, Assassins Creed, Tenchu Z, Lost Odyssey, skate, Madden 08, and The Sims 2.

I'm trading my shit games, lost planet, prey, viva pinta, splinter cell, sonic, rayman, tony hawk 8, forza 2 and vegas.

The last two games aren't shit, but vegas is old and boring, plus the second one is coming out next month, and forza 2, I played twice. Not my kind of racing. Splinter Cell was okay, not the best, plus conviction is coming out in a bit. Lost planet is fun for awhile, but too annoying. Prey is cool, but gets old and confusing too fast. Viva Pinata is fun for abit, then you won't want to touch it again. Sonic and Rayman suck ass. Tony Hawk is shit, on line's okay though.
So yeah, getting amazing games for getting rid of old, crap games basically.

[Cookie Monster]

I don't even know how much time I've been waiting for it (3 months? ), but at last, I have my copy of Castlevania Dracula X Chronicles (PSP)
Happy monster is happy

Got Assassins Creed and Tenchu Z today in mail.
