Well, I disagree completely. I have tons more fun with Dark Souls than Skyrim and, from what I played of the demo, Reckoning, mainly because I play with a friend of mine and we have some pretty hilarious moments during coop. Skyrim is great, but it just has a completely different appeal to it, so it's really a matter of taste.

Soon as Dark Souls my friends and I took to calling Skyirm "Easy Mode Dark Souls"

Dark Souls is phenomenal.

Demon's Souls is phenomenal! Dark Souls follows suit. I haven't finished Dark Souls yet, but I finished Demon's Souls 3-4 times. I believe the best part(s) of those games is not knowing what enemy is around the corner, and level of discovery in the games. It's so awesome finding a new weapon, or facing an enemy you don't know how to face. Just figuring out their tactics is amazing. I know most people tend to diss this game because of the difficulty, but that's the joy of it. I also enjoy the random encounters with black phantoms. I could go on and on about this game series. If you enjoy a challenge, pick this one up.

I'm with you....If I was in high school or college still and had some free time, I would have loved it.

But, I have an 18 month old and another baby on the way in a few months. This just isn't the type of game where you can hop on for 45 minutes and not touch it again for a few days and play for around an hour again.

From what I played, it seems like a great game for those who can dedicate some time to it. A great buy at $25.

I guess I would say the fun to investment ratio is a lot higher for Skyrim and Reckoning. Dark Souls is great but requires some patience and a cool head.

Are these good prices? I just bought a Wii and want to pick them up at a good price. I already bought Goldeneye and Super Paper Mario, any other quick recommendations?

Super Mario Galaxy $14.02


Epic Mickey $14.13

Had to jump on BF3...Was waiting for a deal on that one.

Super Mario Galaxy is an amazing game, I really enjoyed it on the wii, and I highly recommend you pick it up! As for Epic Mickey, I've never played it, so can't help you out there.

Snagged a $37.49 like new Rocksmith for PS3 earlier. The only time I've seen it cheaper was $35.99 acceptable for 360 the last time it was $50 new.

Okay thanks I'll pick it up.

Also found SSX Blur for Wii for $6

No Problem!!!

Never got around to playing SSX Blur, for this price I might bite.

Blur is pretty terrible. It's actually the reason i bought a wii. ( Yep, I was that much a fan of SSX. ) Save your money.

SSX (2012) will be out shortly too

Was it like any of the other SSX games?!?!
SSX (2012) I'm anticipating that release!! Looks really good.

Batman Arkham Asylum
Good - $15.15

Prey
Like New - $8.87

I highly recommend De Blob. Very underrated game. You should also pickup Donkey Kong Country Returns and New Super Mario Bros, both are very fun.

Have you gotten around to playing De Blob 2?!?

Not yet, but I want to get it soon.

It might be hard to find a complete copy, but Prey is $3 used at Gamestop.

I really fell in love with De Blob on the wii, and I just never got around to playing the second. Suprisingly, I haven't found anyone that's played it, I just want to know if it's just like the first.

I never finished the first one, but I'm struggling through the second one. I feel like the controls aren't able to keep up with the more ambitious level design as the game progresses.
