A long title, potentially for a long topic?

Anyway, so we can discuss the new games that we have bought/are buying, I asked myself; why don't I begin a topic regarding purchases? That and the fact it's worked on Gamingforce...

Anyway today I went on a bit of a gaming search. I've heard about Super Smash Bros Melee , so I was looking for a new copy of that for £20. It was nowhere to be seen brand new, but fortunately it was in the pre-owned section for £12.99 -- and another sticker was on it, 2 for £20 . Delighted, I also picked up Super Monkey Ball 1, which is supposed to be one awesome, if frustrating game (and I can tell it is already).

'Smash Bros looks great, though the 5th level is a bit hard. You have to go this little Ness guy (he looks about ten, might have got the wrong name), and to be honest, I've never seen him before. You're collecting coins anyway and jeez, it's hard with that character.

Also arriving in the post today was Kirby: Canvas Curse, which Chuddy sent me. I got a good price on it, and it seems one hell of a long game - I've just completed Level 2 (as in six mini-levels) and am only like, what, 2% through the game? It's refreshing to see a great platformer using the touch screen and I've always had a little soft spot for pink blobs...

Maybe we can use this topic to discuss games we may be getting too, not just games you've just bought?

Hehe, Biggy you do realise that it was because of you that I got both those games ;)

I'd be surprised if GTA comes out in the next month and I may get, but the fact it's made by Rockstar Leeds (not Rockstar Edinburgh, which isn't too far away from me by the way) is a bit worrying. They apparantly made a horrible hash of Midnight Club 3: DUB Edition (for the PSP at least, not sure what happened to the console versions)!

The console versions were great.
The only problem with the psp one was loading times.

RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: PSP - What

I never realised Lunar was upon us so quickly. I'm interested in this game, SM, so if you can, any chance you could give me a review sometime? (Doesn't have to be long, just tell me whats good, bad and ugly?)

:) 700th post, by the way...

Hmm... I'll give a first impressions one of the related topics, but I'll think about a review.

RE: Re: RE: Update

Okay, let's see. I purchased Fahrenheit (Xbox version) today, and it's good. Like, really good. It's basically an adventure-title with button-mashing and DDR-like sequences, mixed with one hell of a script and really inventive and interesting gameplay that just makes you smile because it's so well thought through. I haven't really gotten that far yet, though, so I can't really comment on the length of the game, although friends of mine who have completed it say they did so in about twelve hours. It should be noted that it's known as Indigo Prophecy in the US of A, though.

But really, you should get it. It's an innovative and fresh title, and I'm hoping people will realize that and consider it as opposed to the usual EA-corporate-death-machine-titles they tend to buy.
