A few days ago (on Friday) I picked up 4 new games... that's right I added 4 games to my collection. Now... they aren't "new" new but they are new games... what I'm trying to say is the 4 games I picked up are games that's a few years old... some more then a "few".
I picked up Dirge of Cerberus: Final Fantasy VII
Yes yes, I know the game has a poor rating, and I've heard lots of bad things about it. But I like the Final Fantasy VII storyline and that's why I'm getting it, for the story. On top of that, I've got every other FFVII game (not counting cellphones). So...

I also picked up Metal Gear Solid: The Essential Collection
Ok, it's true... I've never played an MGS game in my life before getting this set. And I must say, I should I got it a long time ago XD. I just saw the box set in Wal-Mart and went "Well... it's there... it's $30... and I am getting MGS4..." so I got it. And now I like it... even if I dislike stelth games I think I can live with MGS.
But this set comes with Metal Gear Solid (it's on 2 PS discs, so it's... like getting MGS for the PlayStation), Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, and Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence/Snake Eater. I listed MGS3 as Subsistence because it is Subsistence just without the online stuff. But right now I'm playing MGS and my brother is playing MGS3. So maybe we can get both of them done before MGS4 comes out (I would like to get all 3 done). And heck, even them 3 games boosted my average score for my games (it was 8.0 now it's 8.1).
And I also have the MGS4 pre-order DVD. I Haven't watched it because I now have MGS/2/3 but maybe I'll get around to it one day.

All 4 games only costed $50, so it wasn't that bad. I mean sure some of the games are old (heck, all of them are "old) but I've been wanting DoC and I thought about getting into MGS for sometime so now I got all that I need (for now).




For sometime I've been wanting 30 PS2 games (because I was only 3 games away). And I planned on getting 3 more to hit that 30 game mark. I mean 3 away from having 30? DoC:FFVII was going to be one of them 3 games. As for the other two... they would have been random games... maybe Burnout 3 and Okami (I know, you guys are like "GET OKAMI!" and I might for the Wii. But here's the thing, Okami looks like one of them long type games. And I've got Tales of the Abyss, Pokemon Diamond, Tales of the World, Twilight Princess, Assassin's Creed, Super Mario Galaxy and others just sitting there... do I really need another super long game on my list?). But, seeing how I got a few games the other day I think it all worked out nicely. I did get to pickup DoC:FFVII, but I also got to pick up MGS2 and MGS3 when I got that bundle. So, no Burnout, no Okami... but I did get to even it out and get 30 PS2 games.
Sure, the Wii is right behind the PS2 with 26 games, but half of them are VC games. I've only got 13 Wii games so half of them on my list are VC games. I want the games listed but I wish they were on their own list (same with XBL Arcade games)... Come on GameSpot... make a list for us to have just VC games and just XBL Arcade games.


And below is a list of games I will beat before June 12th, and a list of games I wish to beat before June 12th.
You might be wondering "what happens on June 12th?" well... that's when I get a PS3. June 12th is the day the MGS4, PS3 bundle comes out. It comes with a 80 gig PS3, MGS4, and the new Dual Shock 3 controller. It's a good deal so I thought I'd pick up a PS3 then.


Games I will beat:
~ Metal Gear Solid (PS)
~ Metal Gear Solid 2 (PS2)
~ Metal Gear Solid 3 (PS2)
~ Tekken DR (PSP)
~ Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII (PSP)
~ Call of Duty 4 (360) (Online side of it needs to be maxed out)


Games I'd like to beat:
~ Tales of the Abyss (PS2)
~ Pokemon Diamond (DS)
~ Tales of the World (PSP)


And one final thing... I JUST found out that The World Ends With You comes out this week... I find this lovely because I was going to get this game when it came out. But seeing how I've got far too many games to beat... yea.
