:lol Yeah, I noticed. That sure is a lot of compilations. Two of the them are comprised of handheld board games. Woo!
 
I played Darkwatch and BeatDown (demo's)

Darkwatch seemed typical of any FPS--I guess the true 'feeling' of the game will come through the story, atmosphere, and what have you. And that's something you need to play the entire game to enjoy. But it's a solid first person shooter--if not a tad typical.

Beatdown I thought would suck ass, but it was pretty fun. Reminded me of an older game--can't put my finger on it...but yeah, it certainly suprised me.
 
Xbox:
Madden (saw this in motion at Best Buy, they had a copy playing.. I thought it was a real football game from a distance.. good job EA)
HULK

Gc: Day of Reckoning 2
 
Where is the Sonic gems collection that is sapposed to be out around middle of this month?

List sucks.
 
Advance Wars: Dual Strike and Nintendogs: Chihuahua and Friends will be mine.

EBgames.com has it listed as coming out August 16th...
 
GCN 23-Aug Animaniacs: The Great Edgar Hunt (if $20 and not a disaster)
GCN 29-Aug Mario Superstar Baseball
NDS 22-Aug Advance Wars: Dual Strike
NDS 23-Aug Pac 'N Roll
PS2 8-Aug Graffiti Kingdom (if $20)
XBX 16-Aug Metal Slug 4 & 5
XBX 23-Aug Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction
XBX 30-Aug Namco Museum 50th Anniversary

Madden I'll wait to see what the 360 version is like.

S'not bad. Need to save money for the eventual wallet rape in the fall.
 
NDS Advance Wars
NDS Nintendogs
PSP Namco Museum Battle Collection

Maaaaybe that Mario baseball game but probably not.
 
heresjohnnymadden.jpg


"BOOM! Im rich, bitch!"
 
Woooooooo. Nintendogs.

Friggin' finally.

Plus, Mario Baseball and Advance Wars. Awesome.

And the new Hulk game looks cool too.
 
gba- sigma star saga

gc- mario baseball

ds- advance wars

ps2 - ? graffitti kingdom, maybe

psp - hahahahaha

xbox - grits n gravy 2, beat down and madden
 
It's not that bad of a month.

I'm picking up:
GBA: Sigma Star Saga
NDS: Advance Wars, Nintendogs Variants
GC: Mario Superstar Baseball
PS2: Grafitti Kingdom

Also, first week of September sees Rebel Star Tactical Command and Radiata Stories so it makes things better.
 
If I have a PSP by then, I'm getting NamcoMuseum Battle. Killer app! Will it push the 1.5.1 update, though? :(

In any case:
GBA- Sigma Star Saga
GC- Sonic Gems Collection

And that, my friends, is that. Hulk looks very fun, but it's not a full-price buy as far as I'm concerned.

Edit: I forgot NamcoMuseum 50th! How can you say no to Rolling Thunder? (If it's $30, that's how.)
 
Nintendogs
Ouendan
Jump Superstars
Advance Wars DS

Not a bad month, I would say. I'm really going to take it to high gear with Ouendan and Jump Superstars.
 
GBA 16-Aug Sigma Star Saga
GCN 16-Aug IMPORT Sonic Gems Collection
GCN 29-Aug Mario Superstar Baseball
NDS 22-Aug Advance Wars: Dual Strike


This is all I'll be buying.

An Animaniacs game for Xbox? Who's idea was that?
 
Sigma Star Saga, whoo!

Import Sonic Gems is already ordered (SOA's fault for treating US customers as second-class to the Japanese, offering no replacement for FOUR removed games is inexcuseable), and I'll probably drop cash on a copy of Nintendogs...

Eh? Namco Museum 50th Anniversary for the DS? I knew about the GBA version even, but what's going to be in the DS version?
 
For me:

-Sigma Star Saga
-Madden (GCN (Xbox broke), DS (to trade in for PSP version later))
-Nintendogs
-Advance Wars DS
-Mario Baseball
-Sega Gems Collection
-Pac n' Roll
-Darkwatch (PS2)

Uh... I think you've mistaken the PS2 list for the DS list...

How is there a Lizzie Mcgurie 3?
Click to expand...

Games like Lizzie Mcguire, Rugrats, Kim Possible, and other children's licenses sell very well. I guess they're just trying to milk the franchise for everything its worth.
 
littlewig said:
Does anyone know how much Advance Wars and Nintendogs will be?
Click to expand...
Every version of Nintendogs is listed for $29.99 and AW is listed for $34.99. Of course, there will be various deals and you can already do the trade in 4 GBA games and get Nintendogs at EB games.
 
The Experiment said:
I'll be getting Namco Museum for PSP. I will get Mario Baseball but not until its cheap.
Click to expand...

I get not having the money and wanting to wait until it's cheap, but uh.. I'm a little confused.

Mario Baseball is too much at $50, but paying $40 for a Namco Museum game isn't? (And I heard the remixed stuff really sucked, unless that's another compilation.)

Dunno, just seems strange. I'm sure you'd get more play out of Mario Baseball.

(Not telling you what to do.. just pointing something out, heh.)
 
I missed something somehow. What four games were removed for the American Sonic Gems Collection?

Personally I'm getting Big Mutha Truckers 2.

Child recognizes character.
Child demands game in front of parent.
Child get game.
Child plays game for a total of 15 minutes while the mother sees child happy.
Child loses interest in seeing the sprite move and goes back to Bejeweled.

Company's funded.
Mother thought child enjoyed game enough.
Child too stupid to realize they've been tricked repeatedly.

Cycle repeats.
 
NDS 22-Aug Advance Wars: Dual Strike
NDS 22-Aug Nintendogs (Miniature Dachshund)
PSP 23-Aug Namco Museum Battle Collection
XBX 23-Aug Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction

and maybe

XBX 16-Aug Darkwatch: Curse of the West
