Title: What is a good game to buy with money?
Post by: Howard Alan Treesong on December 14, 2006, 07:03:55 PM: I got a $50 gift certificate for Electronics Boutique as a gift today. I already own lots of games that came out recently:

- Okami
- Zelda
- Final Fantasy XII, V, III
- Viva Pinata
- Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin
- Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops

So I'm at a loss what to buy.

I know that everyone loves the Rainbow Six: Vegas, but will it appeal to me, who doesn't dig FPSes so much and couldn't really deal with more than 30 minutes of Gears of War? What's something good to purchase with my NEWFOUND MONIES?

Post by: Howard Alan Treesong on December 14, 2006, 07:25:10 PM: Bully is a good suggestion, but I'm already borrowing that from a friend.

I guess I could always wait and redeem it in January on Lost Planet or something. BUT WHERE'S THE FUN IN THAT?

Yoshi's Island 2?

I thought this was crap. Am I mistaken?

I got a comp copy of VP2 but am not really excited about it. I didn't like the first one so much.

I hate N1 games. :(

Post by: Himu on December 14, 2006, 07:27:42 PM: It's not crap, apparently. The reason someone thought it was crap was because Parish reviewed it.

And agreed about N1 games.

Played Devil Summoner?

Post by: Howard Alan Treesong on December 14, 2006, 07:31:43 PM: Hmm.

I could get Ultimate Ghouls and Ghosts and Yoshi's Island 2 in some sort of portable platforming superdom!

I'm interested in YI2 if it's actually good, I had just been lead to believe it was a Touch 'n' Go level abortion.

I'm also interested in R6 Vegas if someone can make a compelling argument as to why it would be awesome!

Oooooh, Yggdra Union!!

Post by: Himu on December 14, 2006, 07:33:14 PM: Naw, the game seems to be really good. I'd go with 2 ds games if I could, but those things tend to retail at like 30 bucks a pop and you've got 50 bucks.

Post by: G The Resurrected on December 14, 2006, 07:33:24 PM: R6V is pure gun porn. Each gun has a different feeling and its a pure orgasmic release to the brain killing guys online. If your not playing it online then its not worth it.

Post by: The Fake Shemp on December 14, 2006, 07:34:44 PM: No, Yoshi's Island DS is pretty much Yoshi's Island with a few, new wrinkles that is surprisingly good, but not great.

Yggdra Union is pretty darn good, and complex, but I really haven't had the time to sit down and tackle it since Castlevania and Final Fantasy III.

Post by: Van Cruncheon on December 14, 2006, 07:45:35 PM: YI2 DS is GREAT. Don't judge it based on the first world -- it REALLY gets crazy after that. Yggdra Union is also awesome.
Title: Re: What is a good game to buy with money?
Post by: Howard Alan Treesong on December 14, 2006, 07:50:17 PM: I will prolly looking to YI2 and/or Yggdra then.

THANKS GUYZ!
