I find it useless to complain as well so I was just going to wait until they cancelled my order.

Yadda yadda yadda.

They screwed up my order and sent me a PS2 version and a Gamecube one instead of two Gamecube ones. I'm happy with that though. I wanted the PS2 one in the first place for it's online play... so I might just keep it and only sell the Gamecube one.

If the controls for Bounty Hunter were any more fucked, I'd have better luck controlling Jango with a pocket calculator. Did they try to make the camera as fucked as possible, or did they spend a thousand monkey-hours trying to figure out how to fuck it six ways from Sunday?

Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker ($39)
MOH: Frontline ($15)

I don't know why I'm getting all these Adventure games, like Zelda, Metroid, Bounty Hunter and Rougue Squadron 2. I can't finish them. I wind up playing them until I hit a really difficult part and then - that's it. I just had to buy Zelda though, on top of all the other unfinished games. Why? 'Cause it's Zelda, right? Bah.

I love the cel shading, and no, I don't "play for the other team". I think it's smooth and very submersive. I love the way the bad guys die, in the cloud of purple smoke... it looks like Disney made the game.

Off-Topic: I think Nintendo is going to position itself as the Disney of the videogaming generation, and this will be the first step in a more cartoon-y direction for their tier-one titles.

After a bit of playing Zelda, I forget all about the cel shading and it becomes an interactive cartoon. A very confusing cartoon, but, hey.

I can't figue out the first level, in and around the dungeon. And I have a map! The map is useless, the rooms are all alike... bah. I can feel this game slipping towards the back of my mind already.

I need a good arcade racing game. Double Dash better hurry the hell up and get here!

Medal of Honor: Frontline. I picked it up used (like all my games) for $15. I was curious to see how the controls would handle. I'm a big PC gamer, and I can't imagine condensing the WASD to a Nintendo controller.

I still can't imagine it.

Whoa! What a stinkin' pile of dog crap! I've always though that the PC and GameCube were on the same level, graphics-wise. The computer is multi-functional and super-powerful, but the Cube is specialized, right? Hell, no! The graphics on Frotline would be impressive maybe 5 years ago, PC-wise. Nowadays, it looks childish.

It's like souping up a car to high-performace levels - amazing, right? Not if you drive a Lamborghini, though. I feel like my PC is a Lamborghini compared to the souped-up Pinto of a GameCube.

The controls!? FAAAHHKED!! Theoretically, they were okay. Move with one stick, look with the other. But holy crap, everything's bouncing around! I felt like a BB in an empty mayonnaise jar. I had the precision of a drunken monkey with a case of crabs.

I played the first level, on Easy difficulty, to get used to the controls. As I haphazardly shot at the German towers - not coming close to my intended targets - the game said I hit them! That's acceptable!? No wa-ay! Why not have random Germans die? That's no fun!

So I'm running through the mission... I make the bunker. I get on the machine gun and start hitting the nest of 88s. There's still fire coming from the nest, so I lay it on thick. Good. I jump down from the machine gun and I'm face-to-face with 4 Germans. Crap. Dead. Was there a save spot anywhere? Nope. I'm supposed to do that all over again? Nope. I played this level 3 years ago (I think) when MOH: Allied Assault came out - I know there's quite a bit more to that level. No saves?

In tough situations, like the same scene in AA, I become a QuickSave junkie. F5, baby, every two feet. Well... you get the idea. Now, I'm denied a single save point? That's gonna fly like a lead balloon.

Hey, $15. Do I regret it? No. I needed to see first-hand. Will I sell it back to EB? Hell, yeah.

Why I didn't buy MOH:Breakthrough is a mystery. What the hell was I thinking?

I returned MOH:Frontline, today, and got full store credit. If I were single and about 10 years younger... even my wife said we'd be soul mates.

I immediately used the credit for the game I should have bought in the first place, MOH:Breakthrough! Nice!

Your going to laugh, but I have not played them yet, I can't bring them out of my collection yet cause I can't let the wife know how much I spent this week, I'll have to bring the game out next week

I played Kirby Air Ride in the store and based on that, how well it sold in Japan, a few reviews, and my love of Nintendo decided to get it. When I played it in store I was impressed with the game, seemed like fun and something I can play with my wife or little sister.

I got Freedom Fighters cause of positive reviews and my love of the movie Red Dawn. plus I got all three $50 games for basically $33, I mean when these go down in price in like 6-12 (6 for Freedom, 12 for Nintendo) months it will be 29.99 so I paid an extra 3 bucks to have them now. I'll play it this weekend, but that will be too late for the sale for you.

Oh and when I went home this weekend my sister made out like a bandit (she's 11), I talked my mom into going to Best Buy and Toysrus and she got her 2 pelican wireless controllers, 251 card, Crash Bandicoot, Sonic 2, Monkey Ball 2, and for the free game she picked Finding Nemo for me. Now don't think she is spoiled since my Mom hasn't bought her any game related stuff since June when I talked her through getting the Gamecube for my sister in the first place.

Smack Down! Here Comes the Pain
& Disgaea: The Hour of Darkness, the strategy RPG of all Strategy RPG's. Personally, I think it's better than Final Fantasy Tactics. It's total anime-style, packed w/ over 40 hours of gameplay, and over 150 classes/ranks for your chracters to command. And it's highly addictive.

I picked up the retail version of Soldier of Fortune 2 and Quake 3 Team Arena. Both used - of course.

I played the hell out of the SoF2 multi-player demo. I became a small god of the demo, shooting to the top of the kill/killed ratio in almost any server I played. Nice! I found the Gold Edition, used, for $15. I'm not nearly as good as I used to be with the demo, but I don't suck like I do in CounterStrike. There's only so much humiliation one guy can take. I need an ego boost, fer chrissakes.

I had Quake 3 when it came out. I kept the license #. The disc got destroyed, so I bought it again. Now, I have two licenses. I lent the actual CD to my friend, with one of the codes, so that we can play against each other. Cool.

Now, I have a new HDD and no Q3A.

So, I see Quake 3 Team Arena, new, at EB for $10. Schweet! I buy it.

It's an expansion! Wha!? I still don't have Q3A!!!

Do I buy it a THRID time? Or wait until my deadbeat friend returns it? Hell could quite likely freeze over before then...
