Rayman Legends

It's absolutely brilliant - excluding the Murphy levels which are passable at best. Thing is, unless they're amazingly different in design I can only imagine they're worse on the Wii U, because fiddling about on the gamepad while trying to platform seems to me like it would be a right pain in the arse. Still, the levels are incredibly imaginative and there's so much content. It's an excellent package.

GTA V Digital Pre-order

I'm not a fan of digital copies of disc-based games at all, but I'm hyped for this and it seemed like the best option. While it's way easier to get games in China than I thought it would be before I came here, it's difficult to get them straight after release and I don't think I could stand waiting a couple of weeks for this one. Plus, you get 75% off all other Rockstar games with you pre-order on PSN and Bully (which I've never played) was very tempting for $2.

From what i've seen/heard, the Wii U game is supposed to be the definitive version due to the gamepad features... the game was built from the ground up for the Wii U and was even supposed to be an exclusive at one stage, Interestingly enough the Wii U version has also sold the most copies in the UK thus far...

Gamespot were the only ones that didn't like the gamepad features though apparently..

I recently picked up:
Need For Speed: Most Wanted - Wii U £22.98
The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass - NDS £5.50

Mario and Luigi Dream Team.
It's graphically worse than Sticker Star, but probably plays a bit better. There's so much good 3DS software available now.

Just picked up the Dreamcast LAN Adapter for $180, so now I have both the LAN Adapter and the Broadband Adapter.

Found a copy of Shenmue 2 (DC) for $35, which I was very pleased about. The thing was flawless and I don't even think the manuals were even opened.

How is that? I downloaded the demo a while back, and it seemed interesting, but I was worried it might get stale after a few hours or so. Worth a buy?

It still strikes me as odd that they had that fat EU case and still felt the need to spread the discs across two cases. Always bothered me a little bit, but maybe that's just because I'm running out of shelf space.

It's a great game, it's pretty old school as there's a learning curve regarding the controls, but it's great when you get into it. There's plenty of variety between levels and theres a story to follow as well, you can tell that Platinum games have put a lot of work into it.

Also I bought RECCA today from the 3DS eshop..

Not too recent, but I bought Sturmwind, and received it about a month ago (I made it to the 4th world, I think, by now) Also preordered DC version of Pier Solar, maybe a week or two ago)

Evil Twin for Dreamcast. It's one of the very few DC games I've never played.

...Okay, Evil Twin is actually a bit disappointing. I remember it having this neat, sort of Neil Gaiman-esque atmosphere to it... but more than anything, it just feels sort of clunky and dated. The story and atmosphere are still somewhat interesting, but they also come across as a second-rate incarnation of American McGee's Alice.

PAL, I should have mentioned that first.

Also bought GTA 5 and got Red Dead Redemption for free. And got ahold of a copy of Another Code R for Wii, which I was excited about.

Damn, very lucky. NTSC-J I could see going for that cheap, but the PAL version usually goes for like $75.




I preordered the Wii U with Zelda Wind Waker HD bundle yesterday, I have to go pick it up in a few hours when Best Buy opens. Hopefully I don't have to deal with too much iPhone 5s/5c launch BS when I get there.

I have strange memories associated with Evil Twin. I somehow confused it with Good & Evil or Black & White.

To make things worse I was actually working in a game store during 2001 and sold several copy of Evil Twins to hot girls telling them you can play as God in that game. I was shocked when I eventually played the game, I wonder how they felt?
