I cleared out my Ps2 collection and just barely afforded Xenosaga 2 in store credit. They were pretty crummy games. So far XBOX wins. The controller is too thin and everything moves too slowly.
I had Sims castaway. I couldn't figure out what to do next and contantly making stuff and finding the supplies for it got on my nerves.
Rogue Galaxy. Thought the art was ooooooooookay and it was cheap. I actually liked the fight sequences. I actually got to control every move instead of picking one and watching them perform the move themself.
Kidrobot. For the life of me i couldn't figure out to defeat one boss. I just thought to myself 'this is lame' and turned it off.
I also had Matrix and some racing game, but i never played them.

But Xenosaga..... i mean, the cover looked cool, but the game is soooooooooooo slow. They're telling a story, but im not really interested in it. The character i wanted to play at the start was Canaan, but i got stuck with Choas and had to play all these other characters. It's my fault for jumping in the story halfway, but apparantly they only have vol 2 in PAL, meaning i cant even play the others. Even Rikdo Koshi did fanart for KOS-MOS, which makes me think 'If he likes it, there must be something good about it'. But i just don't like it. I'll finish it, but it's taken me 18 hours and im only halfway through. just hurry up already. It takes too long to figure out what to do in some places. It took me forever to figure out what Stock even does or how to get special moves. And the voice acting makes me cringe. I just turn off the sound and listen to my mp3 player. Canaan had a good voice actor, he wasnt a total dork either. And he was the best looking. Why couldn't I play him?!

Okay, after i made that post, the very  idea of continuing seemed like a sentance. So after work yesterday I traded it in for something new. As a kid, i always loved spyro (He's Ka-wa-iiiiii!) and as simplistic as the gameplay is, i enjoy it - so i got a Spyro: a Hero's tale for $11. I got Kingdom Hearts 2, and have jumped on the bandwagon. It's cute and i like the gameplay. The idea of playing with Disney characters is fun and enjoyable.
Maybe i just like kid games, or something that makes me feel i've covered ground in the time i've played it.

While I was on my trip I found a game store and picked up Parasite Eve 1 and 2 for the Playstation for only $32 all together and they're in great shape!

Upon my return home today I also stopped by Game Stop and picked up Persona for the PSP that I reserved.

I attempted that stream shit when I bought a copy of half life 2, it required me to download the damn thing after buying the disc which was a piss take, so I am no fan of this streaming shit.

I may have the budget of Excel, but I managed to get my copy of Persona for PSP. So excited. I'm gonna have to turn off the background music though. It's cool the first eight million times, but then it gets a bit trying. There are so many random battles too... Otherwise, seems alright, but I'm only an hour in.
I, Pamplemousse, do not believe in alligators.

Pre-ordered Borderlands a long-ass time ago. Finally got around to paying it off.

I also tried to import Ryu ga Gotoku 3 while it was on sale for 50% off, but it's been four weeks since it shipped, and it still hasn't arrived. Fucking Play-Asia... >:(
