Ah, Black Friday. I've honestly never been out shopping on Black Friday before today. I had tried to get up early to go with friends in the years past, but never really saw the point when I could just sleep in instead. I actually decided to pull an all-nighter last night so that I'd be ready to leave this morning. So at 4:30 this morning, with a 16 ounce cup of Wawa coffe in my hand, I set off with my friends to go experience Black Friday for the first time. I must say, my day has ended up rather well. The whole experience was fun despite being crowded and rushed. I'm sure some of you already know GameStop was having a buy 2 get 1 free sale on all pre-owned games. So the one thing I'm here to tell you about today is my DS pickups. I've got 7 new titles to show you, two of which were free. Yay!!!

Number one... Scurge: Hive.

I've actually already played through this one before. My friend gave me the game when I first got my DS, but he didn't have the original case. Because I like collecting games, I like to have the original case. I'd seen this one in stores before for around $12 on average, but I knew I could find it for cheaper. Today I got my break at FYE. They had this one sitting on the shelf for $4.99 so I grabbed it without a second thought. Now I'll finally have the case in my collection.

Number two... Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor.

What else can I say. I'm sure you've heard it's fantastic, just as I have, so I can't wait to get started on it. Atlus rules.

Number three... Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia.

This is the first Castlevania game I've picked up for the DS. It's been on my want list for a while now.

Number four... Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow.

The second Castlevania game I've picked up for the DS.

Number five... Big Bang Mini.

This shooter never really caught my interest until recently. I'd heard good things about it, it just never took hold of my curiosity. So I finally decided to pick it up today. This one was free.

Number six... Advance Wars: Dual Strike.

I've played Advance Wars games in the past. They've always been a fun portable strategy outing, so I'm going to try it out on the DS.

And lastly... number seven... Dragon Quest IV: Chapters of the Chosen.

This was the second title I got for free. I've never played a Dragon Quest game before so I'm ready to find out what I've been missing.

It was a big day for me. 7 games may not seem like a lot, but it'll sure provide a lot of play time.

I hope everyone has been enjoying their Thanksgiving holiday. Hope the rest of it goes just as well.

Thanks for reading. See you later.
