The Video Game Acquisitions Thread

It has been a bit of a game crazy month for me, I also bought Castlevania: Lords of Shadow for the PS3. That's the first time I return to a Castlevania game since the SNES!

Super Castlevania 4? Still has the best soundtrack (not without hefty competition mind you) of all the CV games in my opinion.
That type of CV game has unfortunately fallen by the wayside over the years, replaced with the Symphony of the Night style (metroidvania) template.
Those are still great despite being different, so if you have a means to play SOTN, or any of the GBA & DS games, definitely recommended!
Particularly because now, that style of game isn't being made anymore either, since they moved the series away from the creators in Japan.

Ocarina of Time will forever be my favorite zelda game, twilight princess takes second place (i like how its somewhat dark gritty), skyward sword i enjoyed, but it hasnt compelled me to play through it multiple times, unlike the other 2 games.

(over 10 100% save files for OoT across my n64, gamecube and 3ds, but i have recorded in my little diary book 31 100% playthroughs, all of this from when i was 8 years old til now)

AWESOME!!!

Nice! Only recently did I finish Twilight Princess on Dolphin. I enjoyed it very much but still like Ocarina of Time better as my all time favorite Zelda game.

Skyward sword will be next once I finish Space Marine and Lord of Shadows.

Everytime I put OoT on, there is just a sense of magic (probably nostalgia) and it makes me shiver and 'tingle' with excitement. ...Ahh how i recall the days sitting infront of the families rear-projection tv with a duvet wrapped around and exploring the Fire Temple and defeating Volvagia with the Megaton Hammer.

I would love to see SquareEnix go through and remake FF7, they had a sample/demostration for the ps3 launch to showcase the graphics, but never committed to finishing the remake. FF7, OoT and pokemon red/blue/yellow occupy a majority of my childhood gaming. How about you guys?

Got Pokemon White 2 for $30 from Dick Smith today. They look to be clearing out most video games, barely any listed on the website now. Worth popping into your local store to see what they have left.

Is Sonic Battle supposed to be THAT hard??!?!?

Are we talking GBA Sonic Battle and not Sonic Adventure 2 Battle?

GBA Sonic Battle is a bit tricky at first, but I managed to get to the end of it. you just need to know your enemies Then the back up battery dies, much top my annoyance, I had bought a KO. Despite paying a good $40 for it.

I thought Sonic Battle was a cool game for what it was.

The GBA is what I'm talking about. The enemies seem to KO me instantly in the Cream storyline.
I payed $15 for it in a duo pack a while ago. Came with Sonic Advance for the GBA as well.

I see North Korea is going to be a big player in the video games industry.
