First off, read my last blog for my story. /mandatory advertising After that, my day. Exciting much? Yes, I played GAMES! :P Today I went to Best Buy, because my Dad was looking at Blue Ray players and a replacement modem so the internet can finally work more then half the time (He got both), and I got to look at the game section. Best Buy is not the place I go to buy games, they're a little more expensive then Gamestop overall and don't have last-gen. But they have a ton of demos set up, and I got to play several of them. First off, I finally played the 3DS! Pilotwings Resort, of course. And to tell the truth, I was a bit disappointed. The graphics were better then ever, the game was decently fun, and the controls were great, but the 3-D was rather, meh. Sure it's a floor model, a real one would be better I'm betting. Sure it was also corded so my ability to move it was limited. But still, it was a bit meh. Second, I went to a Wii demo and played Donkey Kong Country Returns, and got totally owned. :P The game was on 2-7, and either the tide or the stupid crabs would kill me. >_> And finally learning row to roll didn't help, the crabs are roll-proof. Ah well, still a decent game, doubt I'll buy it though. Third, I watched someone play Carnival Games for Kinect. Major meh, if I want to act like I'm shooting baskets I'll head to the local park and shoot baskets! Got that Microsoft? :P Finally, I played Portal 2 for the XBOX 360. And if that doesn't surprise you, how about the fact that I enjoyed it? Sure it's first-person, a rather annoying view in my opinion, but besides that I had some fun. I got in right before the "spoiler" in chapter one. Stupid blue-eyed robot whose name I never learned, what'd you have to do that for? :P I probably won't get it still, but it looks fun enough. After that we left Best Buy and eventual went to a Gamestop, the only one in the area that supposedly had Metroid: Zero Mission. You know where this is going, right? First off, we (my brother, who was hunting for Kirby Nightmare in Dreamland, and myself) asked to see Gameboy Advance games, the guy behind the counter said, "They're over here." I thought there would be the usual case and looked for one, not noticing for a bit that he pulled out two long red plastic boxes with a jumble of games in them. >_> I'd read on Gamespot about people seeing them, but seeing them for myself really made me sad. I still have seven GBA games to buy, and this Gamestop was the only one in the area with two of them, and now look! It didn't have it either, or my brother's game. He got nothing, I settled for Super Mario Advance 4. Nostalgia!!! :D They didn't have FFIV either, the other game that only it has (supposedly). So now I've got my own copy of my favorite games ever (finally). And, that's it. More eventful then most days I write about though, easily. :P See you around, mariostar
