One new game for each Nintendo platform this week: and they're good ones!
Just picked up a new DS game... one that I should have gotten a long time ago.
*Cries*
Why oh why did it have to be released before the WFC went online?
Puyo Pop-styled puzzlers are probably my favourite kind, and the new rules in Puyo Pop Fever really add to the gameplay. It'd be awesome if they released a sequel with WFC capibilities. I can never get any challengers IRL =/
Little update for my PS2. Fun, but not necessarily worth the price.

It's just as well; I suck at it.
I guess we're gonna have to wait until the Tetris DS game comes out...
Picked up a couple PlayStation 2 games yesterday that I'd been meaning to try for a long time. Namco has a way of making games actually FUN.
Duh, I forgot to update with a game I bought last week. If only my Enamel Navy DS Lite would arrive so I could play it on my OWN DS... :-\
First-ever PSP game. Woo.
QQ, you make me want to buy a PSP... just for THAT game ;__;
Anyways, figure I'll start extensively updating some of my lists again (not gonna bother with the consoles/handhelds I haven't added yet, though). I'll go by QQ's style and just write NEW by the games that I recently bought ^^
Problem is, though... I have a tendency to buy a game and not play it for months
Hmm... I need to redo my list somehow. It's tough to read through the way it is now, but if I put a space between every game it'd be too freakin' long x.x
Edit: I've fixed up my listing style to make it a bit more readable and added my PS2 collection. I know I own more games for it than that, but they're either missing (like Kingdom Hearts) or I can't recall them at the moment ^^;

Added two new games an a new system.
You must be loaded...
That's QQ for you ^^
And even if there's no way I could have a DS Lite now considering I didn't order one, I'm still freakin' jealous
How's it feel in your hands, and how's the screen lighting? Find yourself using the strongest setting or sticking to the low/medium?

While you may not be awe-stricken by the size of the DS lite at first, you come to appreciate it quickly. It's noticeably lighter, definitely thinner, and each half is not much taller than the size of the screen it needs to hold, which makes the folded product much more pocket-friendly. It's not so small that your hands get cramped or anything, though.
The screens are brilliant. You can't ever imagine going back to the old system once you've tried it (kinda like how you couldn't possibly go back the the GBA after the GBA SP...or even the old GBA SP after the DS...or even the DS after the GBm or new GBA SP). The new placement of the mic feels more comfortable (in Feel the Magic: XY/XX I'd always bend down towards the corner of the mic to blow, but now with The Rub Rabbits! on the DS lite, I don't feel inclined to move a muscle).
The buttons are different. Not better or worse, just different. The + Control Pad and A, B, X and Y buttons are springy, but not so springy as the original GBA's or the GBm's: they're much firmer feeling. The Start and Select buttons are clicky, and their new placement takes some time to get used to, but just as always, you do eventually. The L and R buttons are probably the best I've felt on a handheld since the GBm: shaped like the GBA SP's, but built so close to the machine they feel like they could never come even the slightest bit loose.
I'm sure you've all seen enough comparison shots of the old DS and the DS lite, but I'll show you some of my own, anyways. Here are the styli, the screen brightness (old DS vs. DS lite and DS lite vs. GBm) and the sizes.

Impressive.
Heh, you got the dark one.
That's the one I want. >:-D *steals*
I'll probably wait the UK release out since it's not likely to be too long - primarily to avoid problems over the charger. Stupid new special one.

Don't worry, I've got a second one coming in the mail. Oughta be here in the next week or two. I'll sell you that one for a super-inflated price.
Forgot that with the new DS lite comes a new Mario Kart DS friend code. Feel free to re-register me in the event that we ever actually schedule some kind of Pokécharms race.

Third post in a row! Yay me. ^_^
So I picked up the stupidest game I've ever seen for GameCube. You have no idea how ridiculous it is. It did, however, receive the highest rating ever for a microphone-controlled Japanese feudal combat pinball game, so don't think it'd bad.
Besides, it has an awesome cover design complete with gold letters.

The best part about the "software application" I got for the DS today...is that it only costs $25! Huzzah!

Got all my Cube, GBA and DS games listed - didn't describe the last few DS games.
Might look over my older systems later tommorow or at some point in the near future.

Gogo gadget game!
Yeah, picked up a new game today... Target didn't have Tales of Symphonia...

^_^ Glasses glasses, indeed.
Okay, the second Target didn't have Symphonia either, so I got a different game.
Heh, it's not quite like that. I had been thinking about buying Chibi-Robo for quite some, and when they didn't have Symphonia, I decided to go for Chibi Robo instead.
Yeah. But to do it twice?
Mm mm. The first trip to Target was to get both Symphonia and Brain Age.
Take that.
Take that.
What? You mean you DON'T have it yet? Are you INSANE?! Go buy it! NOW!
(If you want to know what 'it' is, check out my list.)

I don't have it yet because I'm saving now for a convention in a few weeks where I may (don't want to jinx it) be able to find a motherload of different games for 3 or more consoles.
I got it today also.
So yeah, I got a new Game Boy game this weekend. It's one I'd been looking for for quite some time, but I'd never been able to find until now. It's pretty pretty cool.
I have a ton of new games, and I should probably update...later...
Ah, I see somebody took advantage of EB Games's Game of the Day. Good show.
I want to live in that store for this month ;D
Sadly, though, it's about a 45 minute drive away from here. [Probably] no more cheap games for me
Well..I just got my DS Lite! Woooo! I'm amazed at how bright this thing is....and the stylus is much improved. The only complaint are the edges. They dig into you're hands.
