Topic: Recent Retro/Misc Gaming Purchases? (Not PS4/PS5)

My most recent game purchase for a non- Sony console would be, Fire Emblem Fates; Birthright and Conquest

Recently picked up Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga on the Xbox 360. I beat both Lego Star Wars years ago a few times actually. However I didn't have both games on the same system Lego Star Wars I had on the GC and Lego Star Wars 2 I had on PS2 so I never got to transfer my save file over.

I am having alot of fun replaying this game again but, being that these were the first two Lego games they are a bit dated and alot of the features in future installments have like two player split screen this game don't have and it makes it a bit of a challenge with camera angles and such.

Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary (360) - Arrived in the mail today, though I haven't yet tried it. This will be my first in the series. I'm usually not big into FPS games (I've played through a few of the CoD's years ago, though that's it), but I figured I'd give it a try.

I picked up Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance for Xb0x360 for under £5 brand new. Is is ridiculous. I also bought a second hand PS Tv which is actually working pretty well so have been playing some Fez as that was recently only £2 on the PS Store.

Pacman, Galaga, Dig Dug triple pack £3.99 psstore for ps4.

@RR529: Halo CE really shows its age, great game but you really had to play it at release. The must play in the series is Halo Reach. Give that a shot no prior knowledge of the other games is necessary and its easily the best Imo.

@themcnoisy, actually Reach was the other game I was considering as my first in the series (since I knew it was a prequel), but I decided to go for the remake of the first because I figured it might be harder to go back to the older games if I started with Reach, and wanted more.

Despite it's aged moments, I am really enjoying CE Anniversary too (last play session, I just finished up the second section of mission 8).

I just bought a brand new 500GB PS3 bundle with CoD: Ghosts and a wireless limited edition CoD: Ghosts wireless controller for $148.97! What a fantastic sale! 0_o

Monument Valley (Android)

It was on sale for $1, and since I had a bit left over in my Google Play account, and since I heard good things about it, I bit.

I've played through the first 5 levels, and it's absolutely mesmerizing. I was thinking about holding off really getting into it until I finish Dokuro, but I don't know if I'll be able to resist, lol.

Bought Sonic the Hedgehog 2 3D on my New 3DSXL. In terms of Sonic, I only really liked Adventure, but the classic ones are great and the music is radical.

Bought these from a flea market today $5 for the both of them

Also I got something off line, which I will post about when I get it.

Picked up Doom and Doom II on XBLA for 2.50 each. Been wanting to play these 2 again since it's been years since I have played either and at those prices why not. I will say nothing is more satisfying then the feel of a shotgun blast to a demon's face.

I got a repro copy of Mother 3 for my GBA. Great game btw, possibly better than Mother 2 aka Earthbound!

Front Mission Evolved (360)

Hope I get to try it out soon.

@Tasuki:

Thats a pretty nice pick up, Quake on the N64 was a pretty solid port, and Shodown on the Genesis was superior to the SNES version (just plays smoother IMO).

Did you ever play Quake 2 on the N64? The campaign is mostly brand new when compared to the PC original.

@sub12: Funny thing is I never knew that Quake 2 made it to the N64 till a few days ago lol. So yeah I am looking for that one now.

Just picked up Dishonered on Xbox One in the sale for £8.99. I have it on 360 but haven't really played it much and 99% of my gaming time is on my One now so for the low price I though I'd jump in.

@crippyd: I still have dishonored in my 360 backlog to play myself. Alot of people have told me goof things about it so I am hoping to get to it eventually.

@Tasuki the little I did play on the 360 seemed very good, kinda like Bioshock mixed with Assassins Creed and a Victorian Splinter Cell.

@get2sammyb Welcome me to the club!!!

Got it complete, with the manual and everything. $25.

@Tasuki: Yes! That's so awesome!
