Anyone notice this yet? While I was planning what to buy with my birthday money that I'm recieving soon I noticed something. The new Avatar game is only 30 bucks.
Well...I guess it's a budget game.
Then I go to the new Tales of Symphonia title. 40 bucks. It's not a mini game compilation is it? Is there something I'm missing here or is the Wii economy so good that they can charge these low prices? I hope this is a continuing trend and spreads over to other consoles. And maybe this means the DSi won't be as expensive as everyone expects. BTW I read it's gonna have more RAM in it which means they can bump the graphics up a bit.
Also I want to make an observation on No More Heroes 2 real fast. The sub title is Desperate Struggle. That's DS. I don't think it's going to be a DS game but maybe some kinda of DS integration. Maybe. That'd be pretty cool.

Woos all around cause it is my birthday. Though by the time you read this it will be the day after my birthday. I celebrated by promoting my Xbox Live account to an adult account as this is my 18th birthday! Unfortunately that halts any plans of mass genocide I had as I am now eligible for the death penalty. How's that for dark humor?

So over the past few days I've gotten a few gmaes for my 360. On Thursday I got Call of Duty 4 which is amazing in nearly every way. Then yesterday I got Halo 3, Dead Rising, and Assassin's Creed. first off let me say that it is hard to play Halo 3. It's hard because after playing CoD4 which clearly runs at 60 FPS Halo runs at a normal 30. It's not bad or anything but what a huge difference. Assassin's Creed is good but I'm not used to it anymore so I'm probably gonna start over again to get a feel for the game. Dead Rising is great except for the survivors who are stupid, get stabbed easily, and the save system. Wow. That save system is bad. When you die you can either keep your progress and start over from the begining or start from the last time you saved. So this is pretty bad for people who forget to save often. But a great game none the less. So I'm gonna spend the rest of the night playing Halo cya later.

Glitches are everywhere for me recently. Nearly every game I've gotten last week has given me some sorta glitch. The most expected one is in Gears of War when you use the lancer and cut the air in half while the enemy you were targeting is randomly squirting out massive amounts of blood. That's common and expected. So then I go to play Bully Scholarship Edition and I did remember that they had some lag issues but the patch that I downloaded is meant to correct it. The thing is there are so many more uncorrected glitches that it demands another patch but considering I got my new copy at Target for 8 bucks due to the large number of unsold copies I doubt it's going to happen. Here's a recent example of a glitch: I go to play the last mission of Chapter III, The Rumble, and I get to the point where I have to flee the police on a bike but the bike refuses to move. I tap the A button as fast as I can but Jimmy and the bike share some sort of seizure motion. So I turn it off and try later (having to redo some of the earlier missions to get there) and then I accidentally swap out my slingshot for my skateboard and before I can get to the bike scene the skateboard takes effect but my controls are disabled. So I'm just running into this cop car over and over again cause I can't do anything else. So I turn it off and come back (I saved before the mission so I didn't have to replay the earlier ones) and get to the bike part and it works! Hooray! I die. The boss killed me, well there are no deaths in Bully so he KO'd me...with a lead pipe...then I get to fight him again and beat him, get the achievement for completing Act III, go to English class and get the ability to get better taunts. For some reason the game made me crouch when I got out of class and it prevented me from being able to do the mandatory practice of the taunt and with to way to skip it I had to shut off the game. Now I have to beat the last mission of Act III AGAIN! If I didn't like Bully so much I'd stop playing. It's still pretty playable and for 8 bucks I can't complain too much. Then I got Castle Crashers! Guess what I found! A glitch! In the one ice world I somehow glitched behind the background and was able to walk on the sky. This was an amusing glitch that I actually liked. I can't wait for the multiplayer fixing patch. Then Geometry Wars (the first one) had to be different by not glitching. Shame on you Bizarre for making a glitch free game.
