I bought some games recently, 7 games in the last 3 days.
Mario Kart Wii. It was my most anticipated game since Super Mario Galaxy. I know that the Mario Kart series is just normally rehashed, but I love each installment, year after year. It is a series that can have almost anyone come over, sit down, and enjoy. The review here and at IGN got me very excited, because I really didn't think that it would score in the 8's. The online function alone makes it as good as the DS installment. On top of that, to see the high quality of how online was implemented is utter brilliance (this is Nintendo people, not the superb company of Microsoft that is the standard of online play.....Nintendo is slowly getting there or at least closer). I love this game so far. I want to unlock the single player modes/characters/karts before heading online. I just want the best chances before committing myself to taking on the world.
I got The World Ends With You too. I might not play it right away, but the game looks very impressive. I don't have a lot of time each week to devote to games, and as of right now, I have so many other games that I want to play first. I got The World Ends With You, because I don't know how many copies are going to be available in the long run. I don't know if this will be a sleeper game to the casual public, or a huge hit.
The other 5 games that I bought today are PSP titles. I'm getting the red GOW PSP bundle in June. I went out today and got some less expensive (all were $19.99 new and one was $14.99), but great titles. The games I got were Patapon, Tekken Dark Ressurrection, Daxter, Metal Gear Solid Portable Ops, and Syphon Filter Logan's Shadow. I'm going to love the PSP when it comes, and GOW, Lumines, and Crisis Core will be great future additions too.
Just my two cents, I haven't written a blog in quite a while.
I've been wanting to get a PSP for a while, and I've almost purchased the Daxter silver bundle numerous times, but I just never pulled the trigger. I think that my major concern was that there just wasn't enough games that I wanted to buy and play to warrant the purchase. The red PSP bundle with God of War, may just change my mind.
The PSP has had a great showing this past two weeks or so. Patapon looks amazing, and seems to be a whole lot of fun. God of War Chains of Olympus looks spectacular, and from reviews I've seen out there, the only negative is that is seems short in length. The new Final Fantasy seems to be promising, and EGM has a great review in its latest issue, Silver Award.
So not including the new Final Fantasy, I will have 7 games that I will buy immediately (see my profile for a list..Wish List) once I get this bundle. The red PSP looks really sharp, and being a GOW fan, it seems that June can't get here soon enough.
Here's to the PSP finally coming around to my taste in quantity of titles.
I got this game when it was first released, and I have to say, I got bored with it right away. It just didn't catch my eye like newer FF releases that were out on the PS2. Final Fantasy III just sat and sat in my library. I wanted to pick it up and play it, after recently beating more newer quality titles for the DS and Wii. I finally had some extra time, and after a while the game was quite engaging, boring at times, but engaging.
Don't be thrown off by the score, the mini review is very honest, and I give reasons why the game isn't great according to today's standards. I look forward to Final Fantasy IV, and I hope Square corrects the minor mistakes it made with this release.
