July 2013 - Recently Added to Collection/ Recently Purchased

[turf]

Games I recently purchased within the last few days were...

Guilty Gear XX Accent Core Plus for PS3(PSN)
Rad Raygun, XBLA Indie game
Zoda's Revenge, CiB, NES
Extreme-G and Turok 2 for N64
Sonic Advance 3 for GBA

Rad Raygun was a lot of fun. It's easy, but it's a ton of fun.

I just picked up something like 50 Atari 2600 games off of craigslist. It cost me a whole 20 bones. I don't know dick about 2600 games, but Air Sea Battle was in there.

Sigh.

I didn't want to do this, but I just bought The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena at GOG (along with Darklands.) I own the game on Steam but apparently the Tages activation server for the game rarely works, and Valve doesn't give refunds for crappy DRM, so I had to pay to buy it again.

It sucks. I got the game as a gift a few years back. What a fucking waste.

I also traded for Ys 1 + 2 Chronicles. I technically lost a dollar on the trade, but I thought I'd be nice for once.

And a pal gifted me Castle Crashers as part of a 4 pack.

Had an awesome gaming weekend, came across a collector wanting to get rid of a bunch of stuff!



Cost me some cash but was well under retail.

Got a cool homebrew game in the mail for the Atari 2600.

It's called CGE Adventures.

You play a gamer at the Classic Gaming Expo finding games. lol

Here's a video if you want to see game play.

Holy balls! That's an awesome haul, and even though I have a bunch of them, I'm still jelly! Congrats!

Just got my copy of Shin Megami Tensei IV, a whole day early.



Aw yeah.

That's looking pretty damned sweet, jobocan!

Going to pick mine up in about 1/2 hour...

And the game is pretty darn good so far too, I'm enjoying it.

I was actually surprised at the book. I thought it'd be an artbook, but it turns out it's a strategy guide, including a nice big chart for demon fusion.

[disgaeniac]

Yeah, I won't be getting around to playing the game for awhile...

I agree 100% about being happy with the quality (and quantity) of that book

*HOWEVER*, (and this may very well just be me and/or one of my own pet-peeves/'rant'-subjects), but...

...W.T.F. is up w/ these "CD-Samplers" aka "OST-Lites"?!

I mean, the cd that came w/ this game, for example = A TOTAL of 8 tracks.

Tracks 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 add up to a total of about 10 minutes -and- the 8th track is ~9.5 minutes 

Is it just me, or does anyone else hate this trend - this new 'definition' of what an "OST"/"Soundtrack" should be...and long for the days when an OST was really...well...an OST?

I just discovered that game yesterday and even left a comment on atariage forums about buying it, Seems to be sold out tho! Great find hopefully I will find one in the future.

Thanks, I've owned 4 of them previously but It's gonna take me a year easy to finish the rest!

I see mostly Atlus doing this lately (SMT IV, Code of Princess, Etrian Odyssey IV...) but it does seem to be catching on here and there. However a fuller soundtrack is often made available later down the road. For some reason, game soundtracks tend to be released later than the game, which is odd. And of course, there's always a fairly large group of people that will find a way to rip the soundtrack in full if one isn't released (and sometimes they do that anyway even if it is), but it's nice having a physical copy.

No doubt - I agree with you.

I guess that (since I recently had it out:) and listened to it...that I want the OST's that come with my games/pre-orders to be just like the one I was just listening to...Lunar: Eternal Blue, btw...if anyone's interested
