... I was tempted to get all of them, but with most of them at 1200 points and Monkey Island still on the way, I might only buy Marvel vs Capcom 2 and 'Splosion Man. Toss up between that or Shadow Complex.
-
I'll get them all because I'm a baller
-
Just kidding I won't get Trials or that stupid explosion game
-
The prices doesn't surprise me. I wasn't expecting Ubi to revamp TMNT2 and sell it for 800, or for Capcom to not take advantage of a highly sought after game like MvC2. Trials doesn't sound that interesting and I'll check out the demo for Splosion Man before forking over the spacebucks.
-
I'm buying them all except for Splosion Man.
-
MvC2 and Shadow Complex should be worth the money. I'd be all over Turtles in Time if it was $10, at $15 it's a little more iffy.
-
Why the hate for 'Splosion Man? Looks fun and its affordable!
-
Because no one would buy Splosion Man over Shadow Complex
because the maw was garbage mmk
this too

-
course you would think that. you gonna sell another console so you can buy it?
-
loser
-
to willco it means THE WORLD
-
$5 = Big Mac in Poland? :lol
How inflated is your currency? :lol
-
if only Big Macs were a tradable commodity, there would be some arbitrage profits to be made
-
I predict that at best, 3% of people who purchase Trials HD will finish it. Damn fun game is near impossible (and priced higher then the PC version).
-
yeah i did about 10 levels on PC and gave up.
of course I also only paid $1 for it :smug
-
What's the deal with these games becoming $15 now? I blame Jonathan Blow
I'm only getting Shadow Complex because it look awesome
and Explodemon > Splosionman
-
The games are getting more costly because it's not as much a cash-for-trash platform for games as it was when it was launched.
And Trials 2 was a ripoff for the $2 I bought it for. Hammer a nail through your penis, same fun factor.
