It's been nearly a month since I talked to you all last, but I'm back now!

My collection has kinda grown drastically from last month.

First of all I finally replaced my original PSP (that's over 5 years old), with a new PSP 3001 model. On top of that I got a few games for it and a couple free games to boot too!

Obtained:

PSP 3001 - New, $129

Littlebigplanet, PSP, new, free (came for free through a promotion with Gamestop!)

Knights in the Knightmare, PSP, New, $20

Yggrda Union, PSP Download, Free (came for free via a voucher with Knights in the Knightmare)

Prinny: Can I Really Be The Hero?, PSP, New, $20 (comes in a big box with a music CD and all)

Adventures to Go!, PSP, Used, Excellent shape, $5 (a really neat take on the strategy RPG genre with fast battles, and different gameplay)

----

That aside with the points from Gamestop I've earned I used some to obtain two prizes:

A Fling Smash Plushie and A Pac-Man Plushie.

----

From my flea market travels I nabbed a few retro games:

Popeye, Nes, cart only, $3

Dragon Power (aka Dragon Ball for the rest of the world), Cart only with manual: $3

Zoda's Revenge: Startropics II, NES, Cart only, $3

Super Mario Kart, SNES, cart only, $3

Space Invaders, SNES, Cart only, $3

Pilotwings 64, N64, cart only, $3

Koudelka, PS1, Complete, $8 (a ps1 4 disk RPG by SNK? Woah. And it combines a strategy rpg with elements of survival horror.)

Area 51, PS1, Complete, $2

----

Also, I actually a wii points card and got some games for my Wii (which hasn't happened in forever...like over 2 years?)

Donkey Kong Country 3, (SNES) VC, 800 Points

Super Metroid, (SNES) VC, 800 Points

Super Castlevania 4, (SNES) VC, 800 Points

DoReMi Fantasy, (SNES Import) VC, 900 Points

My Life As A Darklord, Wiiware, 1000 Points

Star Parodier, (TFX Import) VC, 900 points

Grill off with Ultra hand!, Wiiware, Free (free with club nintendo points)

----

And finally the last thing I got this month was this:

Yeah first of all I'd like to say I caved: looking into the system more and more, and being the tech junkie I am, I just couldn't resist. I'm amazed at how much stuff is given to you with the system, and Super street fighter 4 is awesome in 3D. I won't be buying much software for this for quite a while, maybe Pilotwings resort or Ghost recon next month, but as for right now I'm enjoying what I have. Plus with my emplyee discount I got 30 bucks off! :D

Obtained:

Nintendo 3DS, Aqua Blue, $250

Super Street Fighter 4 3D edition, 3DS, $40

Collection update: I also donated like 10 Ps2 games (mostly sports titles) to my GF's nephews.

Have a good weekend! I'll post a update on what games I've been playing later this week!

Did you watch it? :P what are your thoughts?

Over the last couple weeks I've managed to get a Nintendo points card for free, plus accumulate about 600 ms points for free.

So today I decided to cash them in.

I got via the points card:

Kirby Super Star (800 Nintendo points)

Ogre Battle 64 (1000 Nintendo Points)

Also with the 600 ms points I've earned:

After Burner Climax (on sale for 400 MS points)

Unbound Saga (On sale for 160 MS Points)

4 free games without paying a cent :P

----

Besides the 4 free games, I decided to pick up 2 PSP Titles:

The 3rd Birthday, PSP, $29.99 (Been hyped over this for a while, I'll start playing this one tomorrow)

Invizimals, PSP, $29.99 (This comes with the PSP camera included, and is a really neat game where you find creatures in your environment, fight other players creatures, level up and do all sorts of stuff. It works amazingly well. No wonder it's won a lot of awards.)

Heyas Gamespotters,

What's your gaming plans this weekend?

Mine so far has consisted of some Killzone 2 multiplayer, more Cross Edge, and been playing Legend of Mana (already clocked in 8 hours so far on it). Also been checking back on Modnation Racers to see how I'm doing. Classic Snorlax mod has made it to 50 downloads already xD I'm at 200k total exp.

Have a good weekend!

Yet another, yes, yet ANOTHER Square Enix ps1 classic is coming to the psone this week:

Legend of Mana – The world of Fa'Diel is a formless mass. It is up to you to create the world, using artifacts that are spread throughout the world. At the beginning of the game, the player must choose a female or male character, a starting weapon, and place to start. Once in the starting area, the player will be able to complete a small quest and find more artifacts. With that done, the new artifacts can be placed on the map to create new areas that have their own unique mini-quests. There is a total of 60 quests and artifacts to discover. The best way to think of all of the stories is to consider them the songs on a record. Individually, they are great; however, when combined they make up something much larger. The world of Fa'Diel will become what you make it in Legend of Mana.

I remember renting this as a kid and loving it to death. Awesome game.

Parasite Eve, Vagrant story, Xenogears, and now Legend of Mana. with the rumour being we might get Parasite Eve 2 as early as next week.

With Dissidia 2, prologus, and 3rd Birthday coming out this month as well, Square Enix is in freaking overdrive.

Also the new Ghostbusters game comes out. I'll prolly try the demo at least. The demo for WWE All stars comes out too.

Like my new Prinny new look for the blog? it's awesome, d00d. :P

I've picked up some more ps3 games to expand my collection, d00d!

Check it out d00d!

Cross Edge, PS3, used, paid $20

Star Ocean: The Last Hope International, PS3, used, paid $15

Uncharted 2, Among Thieves, PS3, used, paid $24

I've been playing Cross Edge since about 7 am this morning (1:30 pm now). It's awesome, d00d. Dunno why IGN gave it a 3.5. Guess 'cause they got issues d00d!

Also, picked up some goodies due to the sale on psn as of late:

Eat Them!, PSN, $4.99 (about half way through already)

Parasite Eve, PS1 Classic, $5.99

Age of Zombies, Mini, $2.50 (short, but awesome)

Final Fantasy Dissidia 012 [duodecim] Prologus, PSP, $2.99 (this one is awesome, it's like what Dead Rising Case Zero for xbla does for Dead Rising 2. It's a meaty chunk of the game that is of it's own - it has it's own story, arcade mode, and unlockables that can be transferred to Dissidia 2 as well as it inlcudes DLC for a new charcter - Aerith from FF7 for the new Dissidia game. People have been getting this wrong as paying for a demo: it does demonstrate what the new game is capable of but it's all it's own with plenty of unlocks, it's own story featuring Lighting from Final Fantasy 13, and 7 characters to use for it's two arcade modes. Plus you get DLC on top of that. It's awesome, d00d!

and this is from a while back but I also got:

Blast Factor, PSN, $2.00 (got it, played it, done. Game isn't worth ten, but for two bucks ain't bad. It doesn't capture me like geometry wars, d00d)

Sky Fighter, $2.50 (pretty neat game, little hard to get used to at first, reminds me of a game on Steam, d00d. Almost finish with it.)

Crash Bandicoot, PS1 classic $3.00

I'll have to report soon on how good Ps+ is, but with all the savings I've made, plus the free games, it's really worth it. I'm shocked, considering I was skeptical at first. I'll post the stats down the line.

...d00d.

Classics never go away, they just go on vacation and return:

This Tuesday Parasite Eve comes out on the PSN store.

Parasite Eve – A fateful night at the opera house triggers in one woman the power to cause all those around her to spontaneously incinerate, and in another woman an innate resistance to the attack. You assume the role of the second woman New York cop Aya Brea as she comes to realize that the fate of humanity will be determined by her actions.

Also, Dissida 2 comes out, MK demo for regular users, plus other things. Another solid week.

Here's some more mods and karts I've made:

Final Fantasy 13 Lighting

This mod is HIGHLY detailed.

Hatsune Miku

Major props to you if you know who she is. :P I've gotten pretty good at making eyes/faces in this game. A single eye of hers is made up of almost 20 shapes.

Evil Sailor Moon

Don't ask me what possessed me to make this mod. AllI know is when I was finished I just HAD to upload it. I kinda like the blood effects and fangs I added. :P

Pilot Kirby

A year later, I finally made a kirby to match my Kirby's Dream Plane Kart.

Kirby's Dream Plane

This uses the same technique I showed you with the Mets; a dark body where the head shows the creature. This makes it look like it's just kirby itself. Pretty neat right? :P

Pac - Attack Car

Another older car I made from the past. Works extremely well with the Klonoa mod Ishowed you before.

Bumper Kart No. 5 Toy

An older kart I made as well. An original creation that people seem to really like.

So what ya think guys and gals?

I had my doubts but after playing the demo, the game is officially on my hype list.

The gameplay is incredibly smooth, feels like mk, very violent, and the move lists are great - they really allow you to develop your own combos, and find hidden combo.

It looks great, plays great, and man do I WANT!

Btw, here's a secret move for Mileena users:

[spoiler] Tap forward then back then triangle to jump in the air and place a dagger in your opponents back. Then tap back then forward then triangle to normally do her leaping neckbite. Instead she'll pull the dagger out of the opponents back and repeatably stab the opponent in the face. Neat little secret I found. [/spoiler]

Also, fatalities are amazing as ever!

Later today, for PS Plus users, the Mortal Kombat demo hits!

The demo comes with four playable fighters: Johnny Cage, Mileena, Scorpion, and Sub-Zero and you'll also get two environments: The Living Forest and The Pit! W00t let the blood sport begin again!

BTW, apparently there is no parasite eve this week. that's okay, cause we're getting 10 psone games In the same day o_0
