You know it's a good day when you come home with a veritable pile of games I brought in my trades to my local retro game store which accounts for about half the games and the other half was more goodies crazy cheap at Gamestop, all of them under 2.50 a piece, though I paid 4 bucks for Dead Rising just to get it.

Starting from the left.

Tony Hawk Underground 2 - Nearly have my PS1/PS2 Tony Hawk collection complete.
Dragon Ball Z Budokai 1,2,3 - Because I needed some GOOD DBZ games after the garbage of Ultimate Tenkaichi.
Evil Dead Regeneration - I don't remember if this was the one I really liked or not, but these ones other than I think the Playstation one still star Bruce Campbell and that's just great.  I know Ted Raimi voices the little undead dude in this one.
Battlefield Bad Company 2 - For the Battlefield Collection.
Rock Band - For the Music Rhythm Collection with Guitar Hero.
Perfect Dark Zero - Not a good shooter, but it's a Rare game, so I'll pick it up for practically free.
Dead Rising - The game that sold me on the 360.
Guitar Hero 2 and Metallica - Almost done with what I need.
Tekken Tag Tournament 2 - Been awhile since I played a Tekken game, which was like Tekken 4 I think.  Plus another Wii U game for the collection.
COD Modern Warfare 2 - Super cheap.
Battlefield Bad Company - Same as above.
Tony Hawk 2 and 3 - Which completes my PS1 collection of Hawk games I believe.

I want a complete boxed collection of Nintendo 64 games.  I think it was last year I saw a super fantastic collection being sold off on Ebay and it was driving me nuts that I couldn't buy it lol  I might be able to piecemeal a collection slowly and eventually get it, but it's a real pipe dream right now and I really don't expect to complete it.

I'm sitting at 995 coins myself right now with platinum status.  Been hoping to see something cool show up that I can get, but haven't seen anything interesting since the Luigi statue.

Have you played/beaten Bravely Default, Ni no Kuni, or DQ VIII yet? Those are my top 3 choices for JRPGs atm. I want to give Symphonia a try soon myself but with my current work schedule, kids out of school for the summer and my backlog crammed full, its going to be a little while. I havent had a chance to turn on Witch and the hundred knight or Guided fate paradox in days.

I need to play Ni No Kuni myself.  Had it since last year when I grabbed it on a good sale at Gamestop and just never popped it in lol

Really boring overall. Very little shown outside of what was already expected. At least they focused on games, so it isn't a complete failure - especially if the games shown happen to be games a person is interested in. For me, only Scalebound seems interesting, but there's next to nothing known about it so I'm still sitting at 1% interest in ever getting an Xbone.

Also timed-exclusive DLC is really dumb. It makes Microsoft seem like a huge jerk when they go "we paid a bunch of money to keep content from people who own other consoles! *brofist*"

I own a 360 and my library for it is one of my largest of all my consoles, so none of this is fanboyism for another console or anything. It's just Microsoft is doing very little to make their new console actually seem appealing compared to anything else. PS4 is kind of sitting the same way, honestly, due to the lack of games all around this gen and even less exclusives, but I think they'll end up turning that around down the road.

I don't understand why you are charging at Microsoft for a Normla practice Sony had been doing for years, Sony even had games removed games were announced on Xbox and they never returned.

I'm not, but Microsoft is the bigger culprit of it and the most recent example of it.

It did seem like practically every game or every other game was "Here's the game! With timed exclusive DLC!" lol Sony didn't seem nearly as bad, mostly just with Destiny unless I'm forgetting some others.  Both were at fault for making it seem like games were exclusive to their platforms though.

I'm not normally a big COD guy, but DAMN! Did that gameplay video for COD: Advanced Warfare look freaking awesome, or what?!

I was super unimpressed with the gunplay, it looks like the same weak stuff as before, no punch to the gun, but the rest of the game did look good though.  Actually a new engine for once, it looks real nice, the gadgets and tech seems really cool, I have sort of a feeling it'll be like the change from COD3 to Modern Warfare back in the day, where this one could be good and kinda sets the bar, and then they just run it into the ground after this lol

I'd still rather play larger Battlefield games though, so I'm not likely to grab this one.  I'm just not into the CoD style anymore, haven't been for years.

I can't decide if I should buy Batman: Arkham Origins or not. I have enough credit at a store to buy it with the season pass for $12.50, but I've heard horror stories about the game being glitchy as hell...

They did generally patch it, not completely, but I only had two moments of severe glitching while playing.  Sure, it's not nearly as good as City, but it's not bad.  Actually, I think I love the game for the main story really.  The Joker is amazing in it.  The Assassin's thing they talked about falls apart really hard, but I still enjoyed the game.  "Bad" Batman is still pretty good lol

More cheapo Gamestop stuff.  All under 3 bucks.

Guitar Hero World Tour, 3, and Aerosmith on 360.  Medal of Honor on PS3.

Pac-Man in Super Smash? Not sure how I feel about that. There's plenty of other Namco characters I'd rather see in there first. Who knows, maybe more will come up down the line?

I think Pac-Man is a good start as he's a real classic like Mario or Mega Man and is more unconventional than say putting in someone from their fighting games.  Actually was trying to remember what kind of characters Bandai would have and some seem maybe too on the nose to put in like Soul Calibur or Tekken guys.  It would amuse me to see like Goku in it, but he wouldn't fit in very well I think...though that would get Goku into a good fighting game for once after years of floundering lol

Pac-Man is going to be in the new Smash Bros! First character switch for me since I went from Link on Smash64 to Ice Climbers on Melee and Brawl.

That's pretty cool of them to add.  Also apparently Mr. Game & Watch is confirmed to return.

Yeah it lacked the major surprises it probably needed, but I liked it.  Only thing that bummed me was that Xenoblade Chronicles is coming out next year.  Was hoping that would get out this year alongside Bayonetta 2. Super excited for a proper open world Zelda game though and the Hyrule Warriors looked really good.  Very interested to see if they'll be showing off anything from the new Star Fox.

Devil's Third looks fun, a violent action shooter game and is Wii U Exclusive.

Overall, that Sony conference was great.  It helped they had twice as much time as before I was commending Microsoft on a clean cut conference, but now they look just lazy next to Sony lol

They definitely sold me much more on the PS4, though I still have no plans to get one anytime soon.

That Farcry 4 opening cutscene was amazing.  I'm very interested in seeing where the story goes in this one! 

Yeah he seems like another memorable villain for sure.  A bit of class and a bit of crazy lol I was really wanting to see more on that game and it just happened to be the first thing they showed lol
