January 2005 Games

Minish Cap will be mine...I've got to decide on how to get it, though. I can either order it online, get my parents to buy it here at home and mail it to me (I'll be back at University) or take a bus ride into the nearby EB. I hate Buses, so we'll see what I choose.
 
Resident Evil 4 and Suikoden 4 is all I need for this month. RE4 comes out my second day of class, so I can easily go over to Gamestop and buy it on one of my class breaks.
 
Minish Cap & Zoo-crack-keeper

and of corse RESIDENT EVIL 4 BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!(oh it took you long to come out!)

Heard good things about this, plus it's gonna be $19.99, plus it's an "old school" platformer w/ pretty good visuals. Sold.

Well, duh.

Gameboy Player how I love you.
 
I just preordered Suikoden. None of the others are very interesting.

Oh, and for the love of any deity, AVOID Getaway 2 like the plague. It's WORSE than the last one. We're talking 4/10 here.

How is RE4 a maybe?
Becuase I've got Metroid Prime 2, Knights of the Old Republic 2, Metal Gear Solid 3 and Prince of Perisa: Warrior Within all sitting on my shelf, unopened. I'll definitely snag RE4 one of these days, but I don't know if it'll be at release.

You are, good sir. You are right. Why all good gamers signed a clause at the beginning of this generation! Make it be so, sursly fellow!
 
Anyways, getting back on topic: Depending on the reviews, I may or may not get Banjo Pilot, as well.
 
Done Minish, was fun ride. Suikoden IV is so mine!! Though I'm not liking these rumors that my S3 data is useless :( I may deleted S1 and S2 but I finally remembered to keep S3 all these years, apparently for nothing too.
 
Depending on the reviews, I may or may not get Banjo Pilot, as well.

So far I believe it's got a 7 from GI. Hardly promising, though they did give Papaer Mario a worst score so I'm not about to listen to them alone.

Why can't I find Banjo Pilot on Rare's own site?
 
I thought the Mercenaries demo in OXM was good stuffs, so +1 purchase.
Probably pick up the new Oddworld, just because I'm a masochist.

The real pathetic bit is that I'm really tempted to pick up a GCN and play MP1+2, RE4, and Skies. Argh...must...resist....

Yeah it got beat out by only halo 2 in virtually every list. It held extremely high in the biggest release year ever despite being released in March. Not bad I would say.
Yeah, but it LOST. It was not "GOTY", even with your supposed virtually always second only to Halo2. Society's point stands.

Besides, NG is only the most prominent example of a ridiculous trend on GAF.

Is it wrong to want more GBA games than console games this month?

Not in my book.

That about wraps it up for this month's selection for me. Other than that, I'm eyeing games that I missed over the last few months, like Katamari Damacy, Alien Hominid, and Pinball Hall of Fame.

Don't expect too much from Pinball Hall of Fame. It's buggy... like, "OMG, the ball just went through my flipper!" buggy. I've spent $20 on worse things, but this game needed more bug testing before release.

I'm still trying to figure out where my ball went after it leapt off of the Victory table. Grrr...
 
After watching the EGM disk, I'm not sure if I'm getting Oddworld. Its very different from Munch's Odyssey. They seem to have gotten rid of all the platforming and puzzle parts of the game. Instead it looks to be another spin on a type shooter. I'm not sure how long the fun will last shooting with various types of "live" animals and sneaking into different bases.

It does look pretty though.
