Picked up Devil Survivor Overclocked for 3DS.  Don't know when I'll get around to it, but it was the last 3DS game already released that I had interest in.  Radiant Historia for the DS finally shipped from Amazon as well.

Tribes: Ascend

Tribes Ascend is a free-to-play game. Anything you bought could have been acquired through actual gameplay. It's not a chore to play either, as the Tribes series has always been one of the best team-based shooters.

Otherwise, it looks like you got a pretty good bounty. ;)

Yeah, I bought a booster pack for $5 (originally $20).  I've been curious to try it, and that incentive put me over the edge.  I'm glad I did, because it's easily one of my favorite FPS games I've played in a long time.

Petit Computer, DSiWare.


It's awesome.  BASIC, but awesome.  Will I ever create something worth sharing? Probably not... but playing around with the tool is great and there are some very interesting and impressive programs already available through QR codes.

Just Cause 2 is such a blast. its fun just messing around destroying stuff, stealing cool cars, helicopters, planes, etc. And the voice acting hilariously atrocious.
Oui, Mon Gars!

Tomorrow I will buy Wario Land.

The Dog Island (Wii)

For $3 used, and with recollections of someone at NWR swearing this game was quality even if it does look like a total overload of cuteness, I figured this was worth a shot.  Worst case, I've got a spare Wii game case and my daughter will enjoy the game for long enough to get fair value from my $3.  Best case I've grabbed a semi-hidden gem.
[Edit: Having now sat down and played with my daughter for an hour or so, this really is a great game for kids. Quality all around and near-terminal cuteness. Not much challenge and almost as much watching as actual playing... but that works to your advantage with young ones! Very pleased to have taken the chance on this one.]


After buying The Dog Island I didn't have quite enough left over to pick up Babysitting Mama (new, complete with baby) for $10... but that was sorely tempting. I still can't believe that game exists and want a copy for kitsch value alone.  Maybe another day.

Yeah, I've seen Babysitting Mama go for that cheap couple of times... I just can't do it.  Although I did get the DJ Hero 1 with two turn tables for $10, which was about as useful of a purchase, I suppose. ;)

For what it's worth, I rather enjoy the DJ Hero series and have strongly considered picking up a similar bundle just to have spare hardware.  In 5 or 10 years down the road it's unlikely that extra turntables will be anywhere near this cheap or easy to come across.

The last time GameStop discounted the Vita version of Mortal Kombat to $10, I missed the chance to get it.  Now that it's $10 on sale again, I picked up a copy.  I already own the PS3 version, but the Vita version has some exclusive features and for $10 it's a steal (and it's generally considered one of the best Vita games).

Is it $10 online or in the store? Or both?
This would be my PSN Trophy Card, but I guess I can't post HTML in my Signature. I'm the pixel spaceship, and I have nine Gold trophies.

Both, I think.  I picked up my copy in the store.

5 for $50 deal on Amazon led me to pick up:
  1) Star Fox 64 3D
  2,3,4) Nintendogs + Cats (Toy Poodle, Golden Retriever, and French Bulldog)
  5) Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 2


I want to keep one of the Nintendogs and DQ Monsters, and hope to break even on the deal - or at least come close - by selling/trading the other games.

Left 4 Dead 2 at a Best Buy. More than twenty bucks and it wasn't used or had some other discount, yet the game's been out for quite some time. I rotate it out with the first game and alternate playing them.

You should have picked it up for $5 the other week during Steam's Summer Sale. They just finished patching in all of the L4D1 maps, too. So there is no need to rotate between the two, as L4D2 has it all. :)

Gamestops having a "Buy 2 get 2 Free" sale on all used Gamecube stuff, so i just grabbed a handful of... well, Gamecube games. Jedi Outcast, Battalion Wars, Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance and Wario World, to be exact ;)  I think the sale goes through tomorrow, so I'm thinking of picking up a controller and a few memory cards as well.

i just checked, it didn't recognize the control, memory card or console as part of the sale. Because Gamestop.


BUT, they added a bunch of games that weren't there last night. Among them: SM Sunshine, Luigi's Mansion, Metroid Prime 2, Paper Mario TTYD, Rogue Squadron 2 & 3. I spent most of my free cash last night so I'm just gonna go sit in the corner and cry.

I bought a bunch of stuff in the Steam Summer Sale in July.  I won't list them all, but I've finally been able to play Alan Wake...a game that I've wanted to play for years.  I did, learn, however, that it's better not to play that game right before a late night jog...if you happen to run in an area where streetlights can be somewhat sparse.

Picked up Fire Emblem Shadow Dragon used for $20 when I was in the US.


Was impossible to find in Australia even a couple of months after the game's launch.
