I was browsing Game Stop and found Brutal Legend, Call of Duty 4, and Medal of Honor for $10 total. Medal of Honor in particular was only 89 cents and the DLC codes weren't used. The only game I had got around to playing was Brutal Legend and that game just screams metal. I've been having tons of fun with it and plan on beating it.

Brutal Legend is easily one of my favorites from the last generation. I'm a big metal-head. They were supposedly working on a sequel. I wonder what happened with that.

It got cancelled back in 2010. The creator(Tim Schafer) still wants to go back to the franchise and make a sequel( full sequel or DLC), although the main problem is fundraising money to make it, since he said the original Brutal Legend cost 25 mil to make, and getting that money or more for a sequel would be difficult, according to him.

In a nutshell the same thing that happened to psychonauts 2.

Most of it is probably for licensing fees for the music, I'm sure. Maybe a Kickstarter?

Some bands have members that are big enough gamers they might even give them it for a nominal fee. I've heard of some bands licensing their music to good causes or personal interests for like $1, before

Well we can still dream.

After researching all of this I did find this interesting article: http://www.gamespot.com/articles/brutal-legend-remains-double-fine-s-best-selling-g/1100-6427036/

Picked up a PSOne, carry bag, lcd screen, and 10 disc only games on impulse for $60.



Not the best deal in the world but better than eBay prices.

Also discovered the $10 PSOne console only I picked up two weeks ago from Savers doesn't work right (movies & music skips). So it turned out to be a good thing I grabbed this one. Works perfectly and gave me an excuse to beat Area 51 again.

Also pictured is some Japanese soccer game I bough new for Game Gear because it came with a game link cable. At $10 with free international shipping it was actually cheaper to go this route than to buy a crappy used cable in the states for $20 +shipping!

Picked up a few things/got some mail over the past few days.

Finally got around to buying a PlayStation TV now that they're half the price they were when they launched. Unfortunately, they seem to be discontinued already, even though it's been less than a year since they were released in North America. That was part of the reason I decided to finally get one.

LlittleBigPlanet Karting and PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale were $5 each, sealed, and The Wolf Among Us was $10, sealed. Puzzle Star Sweep was a few bucks on eBay.

Nothing incredible, more a personal thing. I loved playing this on the PS1 on CDR back then as I wasn't able to do so on the PC. I wanted to finally get the real deal . It's actually a pretty good port IMO, though it gobbles memory card space like a total asshole.

The month is ending but before that I was finally able to complete another trilogy for my NES, for the amount of $ 23.65 dollars am the owner of a copy in excellent shape of Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse and it seems that this will the last game that I'll purchase from this franchise, the second part of this series is just keeping dust at a shoes box, have to be honest but didn't tested it, this one will suffer the same destiny anyway I was able to find another strategy guide for my collection, am a huge fan of the Silent Hill games where this one is my third favorite, I'll date my PS2 just to complete all the unlockables cause it seems that didn't completed this title at 100%

No, it's technically the Asian Version which comes with the original English dub. The Japanese release might also, but I went with this one just because it says Resident Evil on the cover rather than Biohazard. Also has a manual that is completely in English. It's the little things :p

I'm at work and can't see pics since our "security" blocks images and videos...but I'm assuming the blank spot on my screen is where there should be a pic of Resident Evil remake for the PS3?  I've been mulling over importing an Asian copy as well since it says Resident Evil and has English language tracks and manual.
