See, it's funny, I didn't like Izuna 2 that much, and I really dug the first. Part of the problem was that the new character swap option just makes the game far too easy compared to the first. And, I don't know... the game just kind of lost its charm when it became bigger in scope and had more...

There's still a place for them. The ability to sit down with a tangible product in your hands just can't be replaced by the internet, and while kids these days may think books and magazines are old fashioned, people like me who grew up with a love for print media will always have a special place...

Hah.

Now, see, I reviewed it (for Play), and what I found was that while the standard controls did feel rather hard to get used to, going stylus control actually worked far better than I had expected. Stylus control allows you to "buffer" certain things that otherwise are all single commands. (Such...

I can tell you this: when I was picking up the second copy of SNK vs. Capcom today, I saw a lady checking pricing and putting new clearance price stickers on stuff. I'm pretty sure the pile that was getting the new pricing stickers had a copy of GeoWars Wii in it.

Another one: SNK vs. Capcom Cardfighters Whatever (NDS) - $5 down from $10 I picked it up last night for $10, asked my friend if he also wanted a copy, then went back today to get one for him. Kind of did a double-take when I saw it was $5, when not even twelve hours before I had paid $10. (I...

Checked two Targets today - one on North 72nd, and the one at Crossroads - but both of them have VP at the standard $29 price tag, and Fantastic Four was standard $19. Both stores also had Eye of Judgement, but they were all at the standard $59. Sucks.

I'm going to hit a couple stores tomorrow to see if I can luck upon an Eye of Judgement (since I'd SWEAR I've seen them at Target in my recent trip), and when I do I'll try to check for those two.

BRAHMA Force: The Assault On Beltlogger 9 - PSX release, K-A rating (before the current scale) Not sure why, but some friend of mine and I thought that "beltlogger" sounded like a nickname for a certain type of person who likes to do certain types of things.

Oh lord...

I picked one up last week, I think, right around when the 30% off deal started. My kit said it expired in March 2007 as well, but I logged into my 360 account and tried putting in the number and it worked like a charm.

Coming from a time when I was working the graveyard shift, and would listen to Art Bell's five hour radio show, there's no way in the world the CAG Cast is currently too long. 2~3 hour podcasts are great. Think it's too long? Don't listen to the entire episode. Don't fight to get the show...

You didn't need the fire extinguisher in Code Veronica, silly Cheapy. If you wanted to snag the Magnum, you needed it to put out the fire, but otherwise you could continue on with the game just fine. I know this for a fact, because I screwed myself on having it later in the game as well (I left...

Omaha, NE: Checked the Wal-mart out on Irvington, the Target on Saddle Creek, and the Super Target out on Maple. Nothing at any of them.

I reviewed the game for work back in late March. Very cool game, especially if you love the Advance Wars series (which this basically is.) There are a few minor problems with the game, but nothing that reduced the amount of fun I had with it, though the overall presentation could use a bit more...
