Never played the first 2 Persona's, Crash Bandicoot was always a joy, Mirror's Edge was rediculously fun.

And good choice on the GBA game.
The question is have we already reached the limit of perfection?

none :) but I printed out nice looking covers on photo paper so they still look good on my shelf. The 360 games are originals tho, feels a little too risky to chip that console.

edit: No wait Alundra 1 is an original.

Had you bought Persona 2 and Lunar, I was going to fly out there, mug you, and claim them for myself.

Breath of fire are some good games.

I got the ps2 one, but i never played it. It just looks so bad, Im afraid I will tarnish the good name 3 and 4 made.

Check out legend of dragoon if you havnt had the chance to play it yet. Its a really good jrpg that often gets overlooked.

Oh dear Lunar Silver Star...

Do.
Want.
Badly.


Mirror's Egde, Breath of Fire, very nice selection over all.

Right now I'm just sort of sitting back until all this 2 and a half feet of snow clears up. Expected to get another 12 inches to.

Sucks to be in Maryland right now, don't it? I haven't even left the house other than to shovel. Oh well, I've gotten some quality Dreamcast time in so I'm not complaining to much.

I just have to comment that Alundra 2 sucks. ;( Love the first one though. Not sure about BoF III and IV, but I and II were nice. I didn't like Crash Bandicoot 1 and 2 personally, but the 3rd and CTR were awesome back in the day.

I don't think it's crazy to have a little collector's mania going. I spend a lot of money on original PSX and PS2 games, even though my hardware can run downloaded games perfectly fine (and I know where to get them). I also spend a lot of money on Japanese music, limited edition when available. At least, it's a lot compared to the fact that I'm a student with no real income.

Get Chrono Cross and Katamari Damacy. I kind of liked Megaman Legends 2 as well.

Fortunately they've massively overhauled the visuals.  Unfortunately they've stuck with Working Design's insipid translation.

Finally after a week and a half of being snowed in I managed to get out of the house and do some much needed shopping, that being said I got a few goodies today one of which was unexpected.

Walked into the store and picked up Bioshock 2 since I really enjoyed the first one as well as a used Star Ocean 4.

On my way out something caught my eye, Legend of Legaia 2 Dual Saga for $5. I don't think I ever ran back to the cash register so fast after already paying for something. $5 for that awsome game.

But here's the sad side of the story. In an earlier post I mentioned I saw the first 3 .hack// games on the shelf, my intention was to get those today as well but unfortunatly they were gone and I was greatly saddened by this turn of events, and I even hid them on the bottom shelf because no one looks down there.

Oh well, perhaps some other time.

Well, since I can't really sleep I suppose I'll post.

The wait for Final Fantasy 13 is really starting to get to me, its like Modern Warfare 2 all over again. I just hope it isn't the disappointment that that game was well which from the reviews I'm reading, its not going to be. I'm trying not to spoil anything for myself so I only read ratings, not summaries or anything.

I must hold out, I can do this. I can do it. Just have to keep repeating it over and over again.

So how are my fellow gaming lovers these days?
