Game Purchases Thread

[FlavaFlave]

Bought a copy of Dark Souls for the 360 - RealSpiders and I were talking about it extensively and it made me want to get into the game again, so first I bought the DLC for the PS3 version and called up a buddy of mine and talked him into playing through it again. Well, we were having issues connecting since we live fairly far apart, and both decided to get it on 360 (since you can join a friend's session now) AND get some achievements (more incentive to play through again). So we did, and I had to re-buy the damn DLC, but we connect just fine now and are having a blast with it.

Dark Souls game NIB $20, PS3 DLC $15, 360 DLC $15 = $50 (yep, I kinda screwed myself on this one, but oh well, it's DARK SOULS )

Well, let no one say anything about your commitment to jolly co-operation.

Damn straight - and no one better dare say I don't support Namco/Bandai/FROM Software etc.

A friend of mine has that game on ps3, and usually played it over psn with his friend back when he played it a lot. I just couldn't get into it. It did look nice though

I ordered final fantasy X and nba live 06 for ps2. Haven't had both of those at the same time since 2005 :'(

I'm on my third copy of nba live though

[Inferno.]

So I bought some games online from CEX. Mixed experience, but I wanted to test the water.

Spoiler warning:

Alpha Protocol - £2.50
Child of Eden - £3 (No manual. )
Chronicles of Riddick Assault on Dark Athena - £4 (Main reason I ordered. Only place that had it in town was Grainger Games, but I wouldn't pay £8 for it.)
FEAR Files - £3.50
Fracture - £2.50 (No manual )
Lost Odyssey - £3 (No manual )
Prince of Persia - £3
Prince of Persia Forgotten Sands - £4
Stranglehold - £2 (Disc is cracked in the centre, they haven't replied to my email that I sent about it days ago. Quite mad.)

And in the sale Microsoft are having on XBLA games, I've spent quite a small fortune:

A World of Keflings 400 points
Fez 400 points
Hell Yeah! Wrath of the Dead Rabbit 600 points
Joe Danger 2 The Movie 400 points
Mark of the Ninja 600 points
Peggle 400 points
Trine 2 400 points
Zuma's Revenge 400 points

Last night I traded some small rubber zombies for:

Minty Green GameBoy Pocket
Multi-end cable
Poke Silver
Poke Gold
Poke Red
Poke clear Green (GBA)




Here are some recent grabs:

[FlavaFlave]

Just picked up Trine 2 and Mark of the Ninja on XBL. I already have Fez, otherwise I would have grabbed that too - it's a steal for 400 points. If anyone hasn't played it, get it now - it's a very unique game.

Trine is good - I've played it on a friend's Xbox, and have been meaning to pick it up. I don't know anything about Mark of the Ninja, but if it's got Ninja's in it, then that's a good sign

I love how you call them retro. They are, but I remember when I used to dream about having those games, and when I woke up, there was no Gameboy in my hands.

[Polizzi]

Haha, I know that feeling. I didn't get my first pokemon game until 2006/2007 though, and that was pokemon red and on a gameboy advance

I miss my old gameboy and that super mario game with the stages
