Nier (360) for $20 from Best Buy.
**DAMN YOU HOMER AND YOUR STOOPID, STOOPID BEST 25 LIST... YOU DON'T SEE ME MAKING LISTS, FORCING OTHER PEOPLE TO BUY CRAP, DO YOU?**
I've also been eyeing up Nier for a purchase. Seen a copy at my local Walmart for $30. I may pick that up.
Leo (and Archie if you ever get it), let me know what you think after you've spent time with it. Not that I don't trust Homer, but the game overall got average reviews so I would like some second opinions.
robio said:Contact may have been one of the more disappointing games I've played. It was made by developers I respect and put out by publishers I trust. It was promoted as having one of those quirky stories taht I typically enjoy. But the game itself was just a chore to play. Ultimately I gave up on it because it was too damned dull.
I finished it, but it got tough toward the end. Usually with a game like that -- one that is trying so hard to do something different -- I'll stick it out. But yeah, it got pretty bad toward the end.
Now me, for example, here's some fun with gift cards:
19.99 new
9.99 new
4.99 used
4.99 new
I should now be set for about the next decade

Tell me to get back to rewriting this site so it's not horrible on mobileYou paid $4.99 for Rygar? You totally overpaid. ANything more than free is too much. In fact, I would have insisted on getting $1.25 just to take it off their hands.
Oh, Nier.
To be honest, I was never interested in that game. It wasn't because it was a bad game. I can't really say that since I never played it. And it wasn't the average reviews that turned me off.
It was just the concept of the game that was bizarre. And that it's a Cavia game.

It's not the game itself that's bad, it's the thought of Tecmo porting a really old PS2 game to the Wii that was just bad. But with Wii-mote controls!

More great games to hear about. I dig your style Yoda, sit back for a year, hear what everyone says are consistently good games and then swoop in at the end of the year. (Don't know about Rygar, but for $5 I'd get it).
Archangel3371 said:Hmm you know what I'm not sure now. If so I don't think it's an option that's on the system itself. It might be something that can be done in the game's option/settings. Of course it would only be something available for games that the developers knew of the DSi XL's design before hand. From what I've seen so far though I greatly prefer the larger screens at the expense of the pixelation that I have noticed.
Ah, thanks.
Wait........ someone bought Rygar?

It's like looking in one mirror then looking in another mirror.
I bought Limbo on new year's eve when it was reduced from 1200 stupids to 800 stupids. Now that's what ... £7 perhaps? Still expensive but I really wanted it. Haven't downloaded it yet, will do so tomorrow morning.

When I think I got hundreds of hours of quality gaming for less than the price of ONE measly retail game, not to mention getting to try games that are not in stock at retail anywhere, I'm going to have a hard time justifying my next console title. It will have to be damn good.
^^ That's an insanely great deal, Steel! Awesome!
I also picked up a handful of hobo titles this New Year's weekend.
- Puzzle Quest 2
- Silent Hill Shattered Memories
- Valkyrie Profile Covenant of the Plume
- Henry Hatsworth
All for less than a retail game as well!

Steel, what is Tropica Reloaded? I have Trop3 on the 360 and it seems awesome (just more suited to the PC).
Yeah, Tropico 3 is the console port of the PC title. It's insanely fun and deep, and a game I've had my eye on for a while now. Unfortunately, my PC is not for gaming, and the game can be a bit demanding, at least going by the performance of the demo.
Tropico Reloaded is a compilation of the previous PC titles, Tropico and its expansion, and Tropico 2. I'm eager to try them out.
I just picked up a copy of Darksiders. Not going to be able to play it for a while, but kind of glad I got it all the same. Once VC is done, this will be a nice change of pace.
he i believe that after putting a few hours into it i can say its different and it really feels like a grasshopper game but its also one of the few rpgs they made the auto combat is really lacking but at least its not the worst rpg i have ever played
