Not even going to say much about gta4. it's perfect. that is all. Who cares about system warz, if you have ps3, go buy it. if you have 360, go buy it. if you have both, flip a coin, go buy it.
Mass Effect is, in my opinion, a complete waste of 60 bucks. Overrated garbage. Uninteresting characters, uninteresting story, uninteresting world, and the combat is fucking atrocious. I'm considering going against my "no trading games" policy and getting rid of this pile.
I didn't like Mario Kart Wii at first but it's slowly growing on me, which will probably be even slower at this point thanks to gta4 now. I kinda knew what I was getting into with this game, I paid a little bit of attention to it with news and previews so I knew that there was going to be recycled tracks, but I'm dissapointed in how much old stuff is in there. The NEW tracks, however, are a total blast to play, and despite the head to head video review i watched over at 1up/gamevideos, I actually kinda like the trick system. Mario Kart 64 is still the best one though.

Jesus Christ, the 25 euros I saved by ordering GTA from Canada are starting to look very insignificant right about now.

Ouch, how come?
Either Dimplus or tnt post are to blame. Dimplus claims it has send out all pre-orders yesterday but sadly I got nothing today. I wish hadn't ordered it at all. Should have just walked into the local FRS at 9:00 and picked it up. Now I have to wait another 3 days...Fallout-NL said:

April was an abnormally active month for me:
PS2: Unlimited SaGa, God of War 2, Soul Nomad, Beyond Good and Evil, Kingdom Hearts
Wii: House of the Dead, Opoona, Mario Kart Wii, Wii Wheel
360: Mass Effect, Prey, The Darkness, Two Worlds, Jericho, Grand Theft Auto IV, (not pictured) Viva Pinata Party Animals
DS: My Spanish Coach, theta, Contact, Front Mission, Simple Series DS 31, Simple Series DS 32, Slide Adventure Mag Kid, The World Ends With You
PSP: Brave Story, Crisis Core
PS1: NO ONE CAN STOP MR DOMINO
DVDs: Futurama Season 2, Futurama Season 3, Idiocracy, Fargo, ATL, Alpha Dog, Riddick Trilogy, Knocked Up
So that's 26 video games, 2 seasons of television, and 7 DVDs in one month.
All I can say is that I'm very thankfully that May is a relatively speaking quiet month.

Yesterday evening my copy of FFCC: Threads of... RING of Fate arrived.
Sorry for crappy mobile pic... It's the only working digicam I have at the moment.
100% pure love. The controls are a bit strange, and the kiddie main characters in the beginning annoyed me a bit, but I'm absolutely LOVING it so far. Just beat the Plant boss. Thankfully the kiddy stuff gets severely tuned down after an hour or two, now there's even some semblance of a story. Sure started out slow though.
For the record: Meeth, the pedo Lilty with moogle-killing tendencies, she frightens me. D:

-Eureka Seven Volume 10 (eps 46-50). Longest anime series I've ever bought every volume of... most of them cap at 6 volumes these days.
-SG-1: Ark of Truth. Kinda silly at times, but as good as Stargate gets in these post season-8 times. Not a huge fan of the Ori storyline, though, looking forward to blu-ray Continuum.
-The IT Crowd Season 1 & 2 boxset. This is the funniest britcom since Red Dwarf.

Good Luck PIMPYBLUD! I'm hoping for the best for the next two nights as well...but I live in ritzy south orange county and nobody ever wins around here :-(
Kadey said:Didn't have to preorder. I was planning to get the 360 version but other than achievements and DLC, I don't really care. Plus........peer pressure!!!
Don't worry Kadey. The game is very stingy with achievements. Given the sheer noise level of the 360 version I'm pretty sure I should've gone with the PS3 version since I've the choice. Either way, I'm really impressed with the game. First time I've played a GTA and level of detail in the world is f**king mind-blowing!
No pics, but it's been a heavy volume month for me.

A heavy buying month, due to all but P3 experiencing significant--and mostly temporary--price drops (Amazon). Of course, P3 FES was priced right to begin with.
