oh and KBer81, calling all cars is the best PSN game(stardust HD kicks ass too though). and mk2 looks like mk2, no real updates but still fun online.

 Hmm, I was counting for higher resolution... anyway it's only 2,99... Hmm, I think I will get all three games

I went a little nuts this month, heh. Too bad I couldn't afford to do this every month.

PS3:
Playstation 3 Console
Extra controller
HDMI Cable
Resistance: Fall of Man
Nucleus (PSN)

Xbox 360:
The Darkness

Nintendo DS:
Children of Mana

NES:
Robocop
Cobra Triangle
California Games
Blades of Steel
Duck Hunt
Ninja Gaiden II (replacement cart, label was torn)

SNES:
Donkey Kong Country 2

and a TG16 console

That's about it for me for this month. Gotta start saving for August ;)

Dynasty Warriors Fighters: DS



Boycotting the following:

1. Yoshi: He ate my car and spit out a toaster.

2. Igglybuff: Totally false advertisement. You can have as many as you like they don't buff nothing.

3. the Terms Hardcore/Softcore... We're talking Video Games. Not Porn.

4. The term Casual as relates to Gamers: We make them sound like outsider's that happen to play games.  If that were the case they'd own a PS3.

5. Donuts.... Beacause I drink Beer...... and the biggest fan of Donuts hates Beer.

6. Boycotts: Their so lame.

So far... Rainbow Six Vegas (PS3) (trading in today)
PoP:RS (Wii)
BBA:WD (Wii)
Heatseeker (Wii)
Planet Puzzle League (DS) (or was that July?)
Wii Play (Wii) (Yes I know I was a little late.)
Enchanted Arms (PS3) (Sucks, and the gay character insulted my gay neighbor, seriously, I am not being derogatory. I promised him that I would return it, and I did.)
Darkness (PS3)(was that this month, I bought it day 3?)
SMB on VC (My Wii was away, the Wii Shop wasn't working I bought it the first day I got it back)
I will be buying Alien Syndrome (Wii), Nascar (Wii), and Strikers (Wii). Maybe Bugs if I feel like blowing more of my hard earned $8 an hour.



I would cite regulation, but I know you will simply ignore it.

This game is the reason I consider Blue Dragon the first real next gen JRPG game... I completely shut this out of my memory...
