I'm 19 today - rate my birthday haul.

So far, all I've gotten is a wireless router from my Dad, and will be getting two of the five guaranteed:

Ape Escape 3
Dragon Quest VIII
Lost in Blue
WarioWare: Twisted!
Pikmin 2

With Ape Escape 3 being the game I said that I wanted the most. o.o

So, good birthday?

Two out of three? I see five games.

Or do you?

Anyway, as for Lost in Blue, I tried it, and I thought it was pretty fun, and the reviews talk about how repetitive it is, and I always had a thing for repetition in my games. :D
 
Good list though I dunno how Lost in Blue is. Pikmin 2 is also a little lame compared to the first game, but it's not bad.

I realize that Pikmin has its own little qualities about it that make it better, but I thought it was just too stressful. You weren't allowed to play on your own time, so you could never explore the environments.

I'm sorry? :lol The gap between 18 and 21 is so uneventful.

Thumbs up to DQVIII, Wario Ware Twisted and Pikmin 2. Not so much on Ape Escape 3 and Lost in Blue.

Overall, a nice haul though. Congrats!

Yeah, Pikmin 2 is both less stressful and more at the same time.

It's less stressful because you don't have time again you.
It's more stressful because you can't get new Pikmin while in long long dungeons.

I found the random dungeons to be too long, too repetitive and a bit of a bore. I much prefered the gorgeous looking overworld of the first game and didn't mind the time limit.

19 and you're gettin videogames! Might as well just ask for money at this point!

But, it's the thought that counts! And besides, I can't do the BB deal anymore.

at 19, you should go scour some 16 or 17 year old booty. The 3 year law will protect you.

One step ahead of you - although, I wasn't overage then. c_c

You were adopted.
Your parents don't love you.

No, I'm sure your parents love you, I just love that quote from Dodgeball. Me, I can't stand people buying me games. Just gimme the cash and I'll get what I want. You don't let Blockbuster pick what games you rent, why have the 'rents pick your games as presents.

I was thinking the same thing. 18-21 is anything but uneventful if you look at it that way -- good luck ever getting a piece of that (without looking like a creep and/or breaking the law) once you're over 21!

That's a decent list, you'll have some solid fun with any of those titles.
Pikmin 2 you could player multiplayer mode with a family member :) (awww).

That's the great thing about birthday lists. o.o
 
Ape Escape 3 -- crap
Dragon Quest VIII -- decent
Lost in Blue -- crap
WarioWare: Twisted! -- decent
Pikmin 2 -- good

I rate it a 6.5/10.

Hey guys, I'm 19 and I've had sex! Plus I have video games! Don't you want to be me? Don't you want to be meeee!?

/sarcasm
 
Nothing I would play personally. If you're not happy in the future you should create an Amazon wishlist and send people an email when your birthday is coming up.
 
Ape Escape 3 (return it)
Dragon Quest VIII (FUCK YEAH!)
Lost in Blue (eh, good for some, shit for others, play it)
WarioWare: Twisted! (ditto)
Pikmin 2 (great!)

DQVIII and Wario Ware are thumbs up. The rest is good stuff, but not super amazing or anything.

Drinky rated a non-Zelda Nintendo game "good."

Great, now I may actually have to buy it myself and see how this can be so.
 
Hmm I was thinking to buy Wario Ware Twisted. I've got the origional and the DS version but I was hoping that Twisted would be better than those two.
