Your Latest Game Purchase and How it Fares

Yes it is.  I havent bought it.........yet.

I rented it last week and played it for over 30 hours, its a definite buy for me now. Especially with the "online" tournements.

Have you entered any of those yet Vapor?

Morrowind (Xbox) - I really like this game. It has some bugs that caused the Xbox to crash but still a very good game.

Stuntman - The epitome of frustration. A fun concept and, at times, a very fun game.

Nah, I haven\'t entered any yet, I may do it in August. I\'m just trying to get better and better.

I love this game though.

And another one! (and still got money to spare)

This time I bought Gran Turismo Concept 2002 Tokyo-Geneva. Initial impressions are pretty damn positive, I though of making a whole thread for this baby, but... nah...

Hmmm lets see I have like 5 unopened PS2 games and am trying to decide on which to play next.  My choices are Soul Reaver, Pirates, Twisted Metal Black, Kessen and... can\'t seem to remember the other one at the moment.  

I have been wrapped up in WarCraft III of late and am enjoying it if that counts

I got FFX last... and boy, this game might top my personal greatest list. I\'m not quite sure though if it will step up to FFVII (it\'s my favorite all time game) since I haven\'t finished it just yet, but just let me say that I am overwhellmed by the graphics, overal presentation, music and superb storytelling. Oh and those FMVs have got to be the best I\'ve experienced in any game up until now... :eek:

Oh dododangit. I got Final Fantasy X too...

And, well, I haven\'t been on the \'net, neither anywhere else away from Spira for the last 3 days.

All that negative thinking really paid off methinks, seeing how awesome the game is, I now have to declare that I think it\'s hyperawesome! I wonder if it\'ll keep me up \'til 4am again like on previous nights... ooeerr...

Hawke *heart* FFX

The last game I personally bought was MGS2 and really haven\'t put it down. But the last game I got was Kinetica (which was good) and Supercar Street Challenge.

Kinetica was a pretty good game but its also very easy. It actually didn\'t keep my attention for very long. I played it on an off for the past few months. The graphics are pretty well however the gameplay is quite repetitive. Same thing throughout the whole game. I have yet to finish it. I\'ll probably play it within the next few days. The music of it was pretty good. It all was futuristic and pretty well done. Definitly adding the tricks was a stong possitive point. However, there aren\'t a whole lot of tricks that you could do (either that or I don\'t know of all the tricks). This game is worth 50 dollars, however it might be less now.

Supercar Street Challenge has PS2 graphics from release. Its less than a year old. The intentions were not bad. You can make your own car and specifications. I found chosing the specs to be quite annoying. For the body you chose should have it\'s own aerodynamics. Speed should be chosen because you could always add speed to a car.....to an extent. The sound is also quite crappy. It was definitly a game that I really should have rented. I haven\'t played it since I went back to school in January. It got way too tiresome and it was literally impossible. The music was ok but they should have had a better lineup for music. Regardless of the negative points, I guess it was ok. Worth 50 bucks, probably not, a rentable or borrow game, yes.

I got Burnout recently, don\'t think I mentioned that here.

It\'s pretty fun and rather challenging, but once you beat it and open up a few secret cars, the replay value falls flat.

Basically, you race 3 other cars on actual roads, highways, and city blocks.  The roads all have traffic and cross-traffic, and you get boost for driving close to the cars, drifting, and braving the on-coming lanes.

It\'s fast, fun, and creates the tension with serious crash consequences vs. risking for boost.

Fun, but probably best suited for an in-depth rental.

Latest game acquired... well... it\'s my sis\' really, but that don\'t stop me from playing the hell out of it, mwahhaha... err, oh yeah, the game I\'m talking about is Frequency. FINALLY I found it, just in time for my sis\' birthday. It\'s a mix of Bishi Bashi Special(controls)/Parappa(basic idea)/Rez(graphics) = best game purchase in quite a while. It gets ridiculously hard later on though, nuts.

My purchases in the past week was spyhunter ps2 version, bomberman for the game cube, and mark of Kri for the ps2.

I meant to pick up spyhunter when it was released, but I did not for whatever reason. I am sadly dissapointed I did not. It is a fairly decent game.

Bomberman on the other hand was a regrettable purchase. It is at LIC\'s house at the moment where it will probably stay for a vvvveeeeerrryyy long time. Waste of 50 bucks imho.

Mark of Kri was the great purchase of the week. This game is sweet, and everyone over the age of 18 or whatever age for a M rated game should give it a try.

I picked up Mark of Kri about two weeks ago. GOod game, too short though.
Just picked up Sky Gunner yesterday .. I\'m torn on this game. Parts of it are awesome, but then the slowdown starts and it just ruins the whole experience.

My oh my. I love living in a sodding little town where people don\'t know jack**** about games and stuff.

Many games just get stuck on storeshelves, and they\'ll do anything to rid of them, and still they\'re stuck... until I waltz in. I was initially a bit freaked out to see a 3 Euro price tag on a brand spanking new Beatmania package (game + turntable/keyboard). I was offered a beat-up, squeaky, nastily mutilated BM in one electronics store a couple of days back, for 50 euros! Lucky day.

The game itself is nothing special, I consider it more of a novelty, but at 3 euros... you have any idea how little money that is? Gawd

I\'m going to go see if I can trade in Vigalante 8 2nd Offence, Trick Style, and Doom GBA for Skies of Arcadia today. If I get it.. I\'ll post my thoughts. The latest game I\'ve gotten sofar is still Headhunter.. and it\'s nothing special at all. = /

Skies of Arcadia is an amazing RPG, in my opinion. The battles are alittle to frequent though.

As for me, I just got Disney\'s Magical Mirror starring Mickey Mouse . Before anyone questions my sanity, let me say one thing... Capcom developed it!
