Latest Game Purchases 1

It's been a dog's age since I bought myself some games with my own money. Well OK, it hasn't been that long but it has been a considerable amount of time since I really bought anything for myself due to still not having a job after the move. I filed my taxes a while ago and got a nice amount back for for only working my previous job for 10 months. Most of the green is set aside for bills but I figured I'd treat myself with at least some of the dough.

Looking through the bargain bin at K-Mart, I saw Elite Beat Agents. My good friend Lucas never passes up a chance to gush all over this game and for the cheap price, it seemed like a no-brainer. That and Lucas would never let me hear the end of it if he knew I passed EBA up. Been a good while since I played a rhythm/music game but I hope to have some impressions on this one posted soon.

fye has a nice selection of movies and anime but I usually avoid that store like the plague because the prices are just insane (they wanted $49.99 for Batman Beyond Season Two). Still, every now and then they give you a reason to do business with them and today as one of those days. I found Klonoa on sale for $13.99 new. I'd been wanting to play this game since finding out it was a visually enhanced port of the original PlayStation game, Klonoa: Door to Phantomile.

I'd seen Zack & Wiki: Quest for Barbaros' Treasure at two different GameStop's since I've been in Virginia Beach. I figured it was a sign that I needed to buy the game whenever I could. I went back to one of the GameStop stores, hoping it would still be there. Not only was it still there, it was even cheaper than before! The game came complete with some sort of puzzle or something.

Castle Shikigami 2 for the PS2 was an enjoyable SHMUP even with it's laughably bad voice acting. Recently, I found out that Castle of Shikigami III was on the Wii and and for chump change. Like Zack & Wiki, GameStop, thankfully still had a copy.
