Dishonored.

Bought Akrham City and Playstation All-Stars Battle Royale the other day.

Those are officially the last games I'm buying until Tomb Raider comes out. I really need to start clearing out my backlog.

Bought Akrham City and Playstation All-Stars Battle Royale the other day.

Let me know what you think of Battle Royale - I'm not too crazy about it... it feels too slow, there's too much focus on ranged tactics, and the general smash techniques or whatever they are called just don't feel right.

Anyway, I bought the Skyrim DLC on the last day of the XBL sale. Dawnguard and Hearthfire were both half off, so I got them. Glad I waited, because Dawnguard is regularly 1600 points.

Will do. I'll probably go off on one of my longer-than-necessary rants about it when I'm done.

Also picked up a Retro Duo NES/SNES dual clone. Pretty cool little clone actually. The stock controllers are pretty crappy, luckily I have some original SNES controllers to use. It does have built-in S-Video(only for SNES) though. That provides an really awesome picture. Unfortunately S-Video doesn't work for NES games. I mainly bought it so I could play my Chinese Phantasy Star IV Famicom Pirates. Since they only work on clone hardware.

I love my Retro Duo. Make sure you do the NES audio mod though, it makes a world of difference.

Also the controllers really are pretty weird. One game kept crashing at a certain part and I thought for sure it was the console until I ended up using one of them on a real SNES. Turns out they made the game freeze at the exact same point on the SNES too. I switched to a real controller on the Retro Duo and it's behaved itself ever since.

Bought Rune Factory Oceans from PSN the other day. Had this itch to play a Harvest Moon but since Tale of Two Towns seems to suck and A New Beginning won't be released in EU for a very long time I figured I'd get Rune Factory instead. Glad I did since it's great fun and so charming!

Pretty sure that it was the combo pack, so you should have gotten Mega Man 9 was well.

I actually already had it. So happy to be getting MM10 for free though.
