What Did You Buy This Month? (October 2008)

[Captain Highwind]

http://img363.imageshack.us/img363/8991/561646frontzw9.jpg (http://imageshack.us)....$6.00 (Gamespot)

I also found Resident Evil 2 and 3 (GameCube), but I refuse to pay $30 for either when I can get the originals for $10 at a flee market.

Also saw a God of War II shirt at FYE, but they had no XL, and apparently 'L' means 'M' to merchandisers. But I will find it again, and it will be mine.

Looked something like this but had the GOW II logo somewhere on it. (http://myteespot.com/Kratos-Jump-God-Of-War-Sheer-T-shirt-p-8977.html)

[Kazuya Prower]

I've gotten Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood so far. I'm planning on getting Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People episode 3 later this month.

[PC!]

Sonic Chronicles, Kirby Super Star Ultra, and Megaman 9. That's all I'll be able to afford to purchase until Sonic Unleashed next month, but it should prove sufficient.

[Nel]

Unless I am able to fix the disc, looks like I'll be buying a new copy of GTA4 for my roommate. Ugh.:shrug:

[Zeonic Freak]

Went to Charolette NC yesterday at one of the other Play n Trades, and i got a copy of Enemy Zero for Sega Saturn, Flashback for SNES, and an ascii SNES controller.

They got alot of other crap there (including 2 copies of Metal Head for 32x that i put back on the shelf for now) and including import games too, but some of the stuff there are too over priced (such as 50 bucks for Gundam 0079: The War for the Earth, when on ebay, its 13 bucks, and a few other random import games for Sega Game Gear and Nintnedo Game Boy), im guessing they know people like me are suckers for import games. Good thing im smarter than that... most of the time.

But, its definetly a place i wanna go to next time, with more dough. I just hope i have enough to get Dead Space next week...

[runekey]

Nothing yet, but when Tetris Party Comes out, i will buy it, along with street fighter 2 for VC.

In November Ill buy Wii Speak (with the Wii Speak Channel) and Animal Crossing City Folk

[PickHut]

Downloaded Mega Man 9 when it came out for the Xbox 360. Nice game.

[IanC]

Picked up Lego Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures (Xbox 360) today, at long last.

You could have gotten a third game for free, if you had waited a week, as the annual "Buy 2, Get 1 Free" TRU event is returning Sunday (http://www.cheapassgamer.com/?f=437).

Yeah, I know, but I couldn't figure out what the third game would be... and besides, it's sorta slim pickin's at my TRU; I didn't want to take any chances of those two games not being there... especially ZX Advent.

[Daxdiv]

Elite Beat Agents for $5.00 at Toys R Us. They had many copies on Clearance, so I decided to buy it after trading in EBA many months back... I forgot how much fun I had with that game... and the Ouendan.

[IanC]

Devil May Cry 4 Collectors Edition (Xbox 360)

Seems play.com had a few left and decided to sell them off cheap, i leapt on it :)

[ROBOTRON]

:D - Thunderforce VI for PS2.

It actually comes out October 30th...but I preordered it days ago.

http://images.teamsugar.com/files/upl1/3/31868/18_2008/Harvest-Moon.preview.jpg

Harvest Moon Wii =D probably the best in the series so far.

Yes, they're the gamecube versions. I don't feel like driving all the way out to the flee market for the originals.

I think I have just about every game in the series, so now I can continue to freak everybody out in my house for at least the next few months as I play zombie games in the living room.

[Nel]

Last weekend my X-Box 360 Elite chewed up my friend's copy of GTA 4. This week it has no video output, so I'm sure I'll be shelling out money to fix this mess.

Not so elite, I guess.

[River26]

An additional 360 controller. Which's of the wireless kind this time.

[Classic Speedy]

Picked up Pilotwings 64 today.

[Rocketboy]

Finally got No More Heroes today.

[IanC]

Got LEGO Batman: The Videogame while out shopping today.

[s3kShUn86]

Dead Space this Tuesday, Far Cry 2 next Tuesday, and Fallout 3 on the Tuesday after that. Thinking about getting BioShock, but not sure if cash will hold. I think they are all rated M, and I the fact I can buy them legally with my ID make me feel old. October and November are definitely months to watch out for.

[Daxdiv]

I just ordered Sam and Max, Season 1 for the Wii. Finally a good game coming to the Wii. I have total fate in Tell Tale Games translating well from the PC to the Wii after the first 2 episodes of Strong Bad: Cool Game for Attractive People have me, that and Zack and Wiki showing me that point and clicks are games that I expected to be on the Wii. That and I hope I get the Pre-Order bonus from the Online vendor.

[PickHut]

For some reason, I keep thinking I already posted this, but haven't...

Anyway, downloaded EXIT for the Xbox 360 about a week ago. Good game, though, I think my head is just about ready to explode after trying to figure out all these puzzles.

[Zero Kagayaki]

SECRET OF MANA on Wii VC
Yoshi's island on SNES
Mario all-stars + world on SNES

[Beefy]

After waiting for the price to finally drop, I picked up The Orange Box for the 360.

[Junkion]

Crysis Warhead (Crysis Wars included)
Fracture

[jlaking]

I got my copy of 'Baten Kaitos: Origins' today, that I won out eBay last week.

[Jin Kazama]

I replaced my first console since I switched my NES to a top-loader about twenty years ago. Picked up a new PS2, since my first was having troubles with the controller port. The initial plan was to bite the bullet and get a PS3, but since it's now lacking backwards-compatibility, looks like I'm skipping on the PS3 for a while.

Smart move, Sony. You could have gotten, like, $500 (is that what they're going for now?) off me, but nope.

I'll stop ranting now...

...it is? :sad:

That was the whole reason I convinced myself I wanted one, too. Man, now I'm deep into indecision again...

[Zeonic Freak]

Im pretty sure its backwards compatible for some or most games.

But it is region free, so you can play all the import game you want (for me, Wangan Midnight and Initial D Extreme Stage), if i ever get around to getting a PS3 that is.

Oh yea, i got my copy of Dead Space, its freaking sweet...

[Classic Speedy]

Picked up a dirt cheap copy of Ford Racing 2, though the low price comes with a price: The disc bottom is really dirty. I had to clean it pretty thoroughly before it even played. :shrug:

[jph139]

Just picked up My Pokemon Ranch and Super Mario RPG off the Virtual Console.

One of them is a necessary evil, one is a nostalgia filled paradise. :anime:

[Daxdiv]

All I'm saying is... Good luck getting Mew. But then again this game encouraged me to finish my Pokedex.

[jph139]

All I'm saying is... Good luck getting Mew. But then again this game encouraged me to finish my Pokedex.

I only bought it because, in total, the boxes in Diamond had only four empty spots. Since buying My Pokemon Ranch is much cheaper than a whole other game...

...yeah, I could have just released some, but my box full of Ponyta was a herd, and I didn't want to seperate them. :crying:

[defunctzombie]

An xbox 360 and the two free games that came with it. ^^

[Zeonic Freak]

An xbox 360 and the two free games that came with it. ^^

And those wouldnt happen to be Marvel Ultimate Alliance and Forza 2 would they?

Those came with my system...

[Daxdiv]

Now it Lego Indy and Kung-Fu Panda for the ones with hard drives, and the arcade gets the same 5 arcade games on one disc, and Sega Superstar Tennis.

[Yash]

On Monday I nabbed some component cables for Wii and a 2000 point card through Toys R Us' 40% off sale on all Wii accessories.

I haven't bought anything with the points yet, but I'm looking at Sin & Punishment right now.

Also planning on picking up Mario Kart sometime this month. Don't know when, though.

[defunctzombie]

And those wouldnt happen to be Marvel Ultimate Alliance and Forza 2 would they?

Those came with my system...
No, I got Lego Indiana Jones and KF Panda. Pro 60HDD was bundled with them. Not going to play Panda, but Lego is fun.

[IanC]

Not really bough, but while cleaning the living room today i found my Day of Defeat case. Inputted the CD Key into Steam and found i was legeible for quite a few old Valve games - including the original Half-Life (had the source port, and the original was "pre loaded" due to a Counter Strike purchase so in essence i already had it.), HL: Opposing Forces, HL: Blue Shift and quite a few others (including CS which i already had of course and Deathmatch Classic).

Woo :D

[Game Freak 4]

I didn't buy much, just Mega Man 9: Wrath of... Dr. Light? and Midnight Pool.

[Daxdiv]

Decided to cave in and Download "World of Goo" off the Wii Shop Channel. It actually pretty good game and I don't regret downloading it. I bought 3,000 Wii points and now have 1,500 left. I'm waiting for SBCG4AP E3 to come out next week.

Also my copy of Sam and Max Season One came in the mail today. Just played the tutorial, and liking it so far.

[Desensitized]

I got Dokapon Kingdom for the Wii for my friend for his birthday. That game is a lot of fun without a lot of people. A multiplayer RPG party game. Awesome.

Also, as I said in the XBLA thread, I picked up Doom and Assault Heroes. Highly recommended if you like action games and multiplayer.

[Marvin Tikvah]

No one's picked up Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia yet? The game looks like it'll be better than Portrait of Ruin and it seems even more influenced by Metroid, which isn't a bad thing in any sense.

I've yet to pick it up, but I wish I didn't forget that Soundtrack bonus Gamestop was offering, I loved the music in the trailers.

[Daxdiv]

For some reason I went on a binge and downloaded a whole bunch of games from Xbox Live arcade, It was Mega Man 9 (I said I was going to double dip down the line), Portal: Still Alive (Sure it might be the same as the one in TOB, but it has different achievements, and some new challenges), Also the Theme for it, and Age of Booty (A game about Pirates, I like as they are sadly a rarity in Video Gaming. Gotta support my Pirates)

[Zero Kagayaki]

Eternal Sonata
Battle Fantsia (soon)

[Tanooki]

only tetris party for me this month it seems. every console needs a good tetris game. got up to 186 lines last night. the tetrimonios come down like rockets at that stage of the game

[felixthunder]

this month so far

Lego Batman (psp)

Fable 2 Limited Edition (360)

I also ordered on Import

Castlevania Order Of Ecclesia and Bleach Dark souls For the ds

[PickHut]

Bought Guilty Gear 2: Overture for the Xbox 360 a week ago. Interesting change of pace that could have used a bit more work.

[Junkion]

PS Eye
PS3 Bluetooth Headset (hasn't arrived yet)

[shaman_mya19]

got Devil May Cry: 5th Anniversary Collection for ps2 as a early birthday present (since my birthday is on thrusday)

[Vyse]

I bought Battle Fantasia (Xbox 360) today at Gamestop. I played the PS3 import version at AWA last month and loved it. I also managed to get a streak of wins going (I think about 6-8 wins, maybe 10 or over). I loved it ever since and gained a hankering for it today before I left school.

Also, a game-related purchase was made at KFC, where I bought the Guitar Hero: World Tour Original Recipe Fully Loaded Box Meal. 1 breast piece, 2 strips, 1 Snacker, 1 biscuit, 2 sides of your choice (I picked green beans and mac and cheese), and a 32oz drink. The best Guitar Hero tie-in EVAR! Plus, it tastes good. Pic's in the spoiler tags because the pic is in 1024x768.

[Classic Speedy]

More PS1 snags: Battle Arena Toshinden 2 and Ninja: Shadow of Darkness.

[defunctzombie]

When I get paid I plan on downloading Soulcalibur. I liked Soul Edge (Soul Blade over here) so I know I'll like this one. Just wish they kept Li Long. ;)

[Sonic_Eclipse]

- Spider-Man: Web of Shadows (360) -
Awesome game, I just wish they had a gotten a better voice Spidey, it's so high pitched and whiney. I would've gone with Chris Barnes, or Niel Patrick Harris, heck even Rino Romano. You know people who've done the character, especially before for a game like this. Other than that, good game.

[KCJ506]

Lego Batman for the 360 and Super Mario Sluggers.

[Kazuya Prower]

Strong Bad Episode 3. This one felt shorter than the last two. Hopefully episode 4 will be longer. :cool:

[Tanooki]

picked up guitar hero: world tour - band edition today for the wii based solely on a good review over at wii.ign.com

gettin' ready to rock out!
