Just purchased Lost Planet: Extreme Condition (360) on Amazon. It should get here within the next couple weeks.

Too be honest this purchase is long overdue. I've wanted to play it for a very long time, but just never got around to it, lol.

@SteveButler2210: I almost never buy pre owned games but am happy to by DVDs off ebay. I had a game on the 360 and the copy was scratched in particular area of the disc. Game played fine until a cut scene bam game crashed, disc made weird sounds disc read error. 30 hours in on Blue Dragon 🐲 took that back and another swapped for another game which never run at all.

I miss carts.

Purchased Battle Fantasia (360) on Amazon.

It looks like a decent little fighter, and a good way to kill some time if I only have a few minutes to spare.

@RR529: I bought that game a few months ago when it was on sale on XBL. It's actually a really fun fighting game and if you like anime I am sure you will enjoy it alot.

Yeah, I actually first heard about it when I saw you mention it on NL, and after looking up a couple of reviews, I decided I'd get it myself eventually.

@RR529: Yeah the only reason that I saw that caused it not to sell to well is that it came out around the same time as Street Fighter IV which, because of that caused it to go unoticed. Still it's a great game it's it's one that's easy to pick up and play. Some fighting elitists might not like it cause each character has a small list of moves but that's the charm with that and makes it nice for the casual fighting game player.

Yeah, I've always liked fighting games, but it's simply not fun to lose against the final boss 10-20 times before you beat it (each darned time), or get kicked out of an online lobby "for not playing it right", so I think I'm going to enjoy my time with it.

@RR529: Yeah I know what you mean. Back when I was younger I use to be really good at fighting game particularly Mortal Kombat 3, and Super Street Fighter II both on the SNES and Tekken 3 later on on the PS but that was when I had time to dedicate to learn all the moves and each persons strengths and weaknesses. Now I with a son and a job I don't especially when these fighting games have 20 + fighters in them each with a move set as long as the nile.

That's where I like Battle Fantasia it has a small amount of fighters with a small move set which is perfect for a causal fighting game player such as myself.

@Tasuki: @RR529: Not a game, but still a game-related purchase, and kind of relevant seeing as you guys have been discussing SF - this t-shirt just arrived yesterday, and I love it!

@SteveButler2210: Nice shirt there. Kinda jelly since Ryu is my favorite SF character.

My latest purchase would be a Sega Genesis lot I won on an Internet auction. World of Illusion, Sonic, Sonic 2 and Decap Attack all CIB with manuals they whole lot for 15 dollars.

I recently ordered NIER (PS3) for $39.99 New from Amazon, hopefully it's worth the extra money I spent.

Especially since I've never played any of the Drakengard games before.

@ToddlerNaruto: NIER wasn't anything to do with Drakengard was it? At least, it wasn't as far as I could tell! It was an alright game though, but I definitely wouldn't have paid more than a fiver for it nowadays. There was a lot about it that was rough around the edges, and the story could have been done a bit better. You need to replay the second half multiple times to get all the story, but it didn't do enough to make me want to bother.

All the same, once you get the hang of it the combat was alright, and I really liked the soundtrack definitely not the best game in the world, but it is something a little different, which is never a bad thing! I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on it when you're done, as I know very few other people that have played it!

EDIT: hush my gums, looks like it was related after all - I had no idea it was tied to the first Drakengard game!

@SteveButler2210 I know I could have bought NIER used for alot cheaper, but same reason why I bought Heavenly Sword for $24 New...

Anyway, I won't be playing NIER for a long awhile, I've got other games in my backlog that have higher priority.

@iDangerMouse_: yeah the soundtrack was typically brilliant SE stuff! I've got a SE song book with loads of piano sheet music from various games, and it has a few pieces from this in - they're really fun to play!

@kyleforrester87: I'd argue it's the Vita's best game, brilliant characters with a great story, but it's a little slow to start so you'll next to give it a chance to warm up.
