Same here! Now if I could just find a copy of Devil's Third...

I pre-ordered my copy, so I lucked out. Give it a few months; prices have already dropped a lot since it first released (at least they had last time I looked), so they'll probably continue to drop once people realize how shitty it is (even though I LOVED it; it plays like a Steven Segal movie).

I'm also downloading the Unreal Tournament pre-alpha right now.

Kururin Squash

Kururin Squash is an outstanding game, nice choice.

Good. It's an awesome game. I am playing it right now, and I love it.

Shovel Knight Amiibo is out now. I grabbed one and it looks pretty nifty.

I recently purchased Prince of Persia: Warrior Within for the XBOX.

I played through the original recently and I enjoyed it tremendously. I've heard some negative reviews about this one as they tried to make it a God of War clone, but I'm still willing to give it a go. Hopefully, it is not too bad!

Good luck... lol. It's a starking contrast to say the least and pretty brutal.

Got some cool stuff in the mail today:

Giana Sisters Twisted Dreams Director's Cut (Wii U)
Syberia Collection (PS3)
Teslagrad (PS3)

A week ago, I didn't even know that Syberia and Teslagrad had physical releases, and I think Giana Sisters will be hard to find in the coming years. Accordingly, I am glad to add these to my collection. (Now, if I can just get Steins Gate for the PS3, I think I will have all of the rare games I want for that system.)

Honestly I think the combat is a lot more interesting in Warrior Within since there are more enemies on screen at once and a lot of weapons. The map itself is also alot more open which is nice but can lead to some problems if you miss a que on where to go since you can end up going in circles. I also had a thing for the music when I was younger and watched the music video quite a few times . Overall it's a very close second for me as far as modern PoP games go. While Two Thrones improves on some things and has a much more cinematic story I didn't care as much for it and the last gen Reboot while having some really nice platforming had almost no combat and one of the most disappointing stories ever in my opinion.

First pickup of the year!

Tom Clancy's HAWX (PC)


New and sealed from Goodwill.

I've always wanted a physical copy of Trip World, but I'm fine with not having it for the price it goes for, especially now I can play it on my 3DS.

Agreed on 2 and 3, mostly 2 where only Parodius stands out, #3 at least has Twinbee and Goemon. 1 and 4 are the winners as they're the US franchise games colorized basically. And Trip World I only got because of the price not being anywhere near the $200+ it hits and it's not on the US 3DS eshop either I don't think.
