Just picked up:

Tales of the Abyss
Heavenly Guardian (eh, I bit)
Super Swing Golf

I love these kinds of sales!  Last time (a couple of years ago) I ended up with Dual Hearts, Klonoa 2, and Super Monkey Ball 2.  Good luck to you all!

Wow, I'm glad you posted this; Gamestop's site doesn't seem to say anything about it, but I called my local branch and it's true! I'm heading over later tonight to catch up on my backlog a little.

Thanks!

Used already?  That's not the best sign...

Has anyone tried Sega Superstar Tennis?  It was $20 NEW recently at Gamestop... might still be $20.  I kinda wanted to try it, on Wii or 360, but not so sure now.

This isn't just one day only, is it? There's one or two I've had my eye on, but I've no way to go anywhere at the moment.

Vaeran Apr 30, 2008

I return with an armload of treasure:

Soul Nomad & the World Eaters
Kingdom Hearts II
Castlevania: Curse of Darkness

I was hoping they'd have a used God Hand, but no such luck. Oh well~

I'm pretty sure the copy of Heavenl Guardian (PS2) was gutted and sold as used.  The disc looked flawless.

Good grab Vaeran!  I was tempted to pick up the copy of Persona 3 and Stella Deus that they had, but I already own both of 'em.  I could have easily spent over $100.00 yesterday.

Oh, and I'll have impressions up soon enough about Heavenly Guardian.  I'm hoping it's something fun that the wife and I can play together (poor reviews aside, it looks like fun) smile

*edit*  Apparently the sale lasts until Sunday.  Hello games, goodbye credit!

I know, I hate double posts as well, but I do have to brag a little about this one:

Digital Devil Saga 1
Baroque
Shining Tears
*edit* ....and Culdcept for $6.30  big_smile

Again, got ST as it might prove fun with two people.  GAME COLLECTING IS FUN.

Finally took part in this today, and was a bit dismayed to find certain ones I'd been eyeing to have disappeared (Metal Slug Anthology for Wii in particular). That said, perhaps against my better judgement, I shot the moon and got six:

Billy Hatcher and the Giant Egg
Mario Kart Super Circuit
Mario Kart DS
Metroid Zero Mission
No More Heroes
Wild Arms 4

The two racers were to complete the Mario Kart collection (if nothing else, MK Wii made me interested in doing so). Super Circuit's a little tough to play since the character I would ordinarily play as, Luigi, has one of the most annoying voices ever in this version. DS is pretty fun, though, and as added bonuses, Daisy (my character of choice since DD) was already unlocked, and the existing emblem saved on the card is a near-completely awesome Megaman sprite (it'd be COMPLETELY awesome if it weren't the Battle Network Megaman, but hey). Thank you 'ace,' whomever you were.

Billy's one of those games I decided to get simply because its soundtrack kicked plenty of ass. It kind of reminds me of Glover, and is generally entertaining, except the controls are dodgy right when they need to be precise (cannon-aiming, I hate thee). Still, charm goes a long way, and I like it fine.

Metroid's one of those games that makes me feel like an outcast, since I didn't enjoy it at all, and at last count, 70 billion squillion other people did. But the idea of an enhanced remake with the polish of Fusion (which I loved and - surprise! - nobody else did) has always seemed mighty tempting. And since it was one of the free ones (GWA HA HA), why the hell not? Reason #3 (after Shantae and Metal Gear Solid) why I'm glad to have that Game Boy Player.

I haven't played much of it yet (just past the first boss) but the thing you take away from your introduction to No More Heroes is style. The combat isn't perfect, but it's completely accessible, surprisingly intuitive by the time you reach the boss, and cheesy-rad to the max. As a spectacle, it's everything Kill Bill Volume 1 wanted to be but failed miserably at. And for some reason waggling like an idiot to recharge my sword while somebody's trying to take off my head with a flaming cleaver struck me as so funny I had to pause until it passed. An early contender for Best Moment of 2008, I reckon.

Wild Arms 4 works. And until I actually dedicate myself to finishing the last leg of Wild Arms 3, that's good enough for now. I've enough on my plate as it is.

Word of warning considering WA4, don't try to unlock everything in the EX file, it's impossible without a cheat divice due to a programming error by xSeed games. Here's an email about it:

Recently I purchased your US release of Wild Arms 4, and I must say I was overall pleased with your work and your willingness to support a franchise that has such a small, yet dedicated fan base. However, many gamers, including myself are having trouble completing their EX File due to the monster guide. It seems two enemies: the Accident Rabbit (No.13) and the Delawa Bunny (No.121) do not spawn where they are said to appear. Gaming message boards have been lighting up with these questions, and several rumors have started to circulate. If you could please release a statement to shed some light on this issue involving the monster guide, I as well as many other gamers would appreciate it. Thanks for your time and consideration.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention, and please excuse the late replyas it took us some time to figure out exactly what happened. Basically, the Accident Rabbit and the Delawa Bunny were removed from the USversion for various reasons, but unfortunately they were not removed from themonster guide due to an oversight. This means that the monster guide cannot becompleted 100%, as you had stated. We apologize for this mishap and the inconvenience it has caused you and theother dedicated fans that are trying to unlock all bonus contents in Wild ARMs4. We hope that it did not distract too much from your enjoyment of the game.

The reason for removing these two monsters is *believed* to be measure to avoid copyright issues: the Accident Rabbit and the Delawa Bunny look a lot like a Disney character - who's name escapes me - that is a rabbit and holds a clock.

^ The rabbit that holds a clock... the Alice in Wonderland character?  It's just "White Rabbit".

Remember what the Dormouse said?

Yeah, that's the character... I really didn't grow up on Disney as much as some. I was more into Nickelodeon.

Oof. What a botch. Still, thanks for the heads-up. I kinda AM the sort of guy who would try to do that, and I could see myself throwing a motherlovin' FIT if I'd wasted X amount of hours trying to finish said item before finding out. Pity, though.
