Look, I know it was licensed, but I remember being pumped about Batman Returns. It's cruel what game developers and publishers did to kids back then. Now, that I think about it, that's what the NES and SNES and everthing that came before it was all about. Just throw a bunch of shit at the wall...

You gotta be kidding me. I may have an ulterior motive since I have a journalism degree (most of us are tools, yes) and review games for a newspaper, but this is a ridiculous statement, as are most blanket statements. "Regular people with journalism degrees" are presumably trained in not only...

This is the right attitude. I'm lame as hell, but I get a small boost to the ego every time I walk past my shelf and see Nocturne and Digital Devil Saga and my Legend of Zelda Collectors Disc and my sealed Persona 1 and 2 and my Brigandine...blah blah (pointless bragging). It is nice to have...

There's been a lot on here about the playing or collecting aspect of Nocturne. I see it both ways. I don't think there are a lot of people out there hoarding this for value. I think most people got it to play it. I know I did (actually bought it off a dude mint w/guide for $25). The thing is, I...

I am like, really impressed by this. It will be the crowning achievement of my life when I cross the 100 mark this winter. It's funny how pretty much everyone on here ends up with the same games in the end. I think this system is the one that really took a lot of people from just buying games...

Is that the one you had to reset the Genesis to advance past the 5th level (Mojo's world)? That was its only redeeming quality and probably among the first instances of really breaking the 4th wall or whatever they say. That game was pretty decent. This thread is sort of hollow. It either boils...

It's amazing how many great, great RPGs there are. I mean, it's a relatively small market, I guess, but we get lots of stuff to tide us over. Shit, I mean I guess I'm not really a hardcore RPGer, but it's my favorite genre and starting a new one is always an event for me. I mean, I don't just...

This is unbelievable. You gotta wonder if the universe was simply responding to what people thought. I started this series like 7 years ago, and always planned to go back and finish it. I think I left off with Winter's Heart, the 9th book. My buddy was looking at my shelf and saw them all and...

I think it was mentioned, but my CC (Clarksville, IN) had VP 2 for $11.36 before tax (they have about 10 copies) and I will be happy to grab one for somebody. Also Just Cause rang up for $2.36, but from what I hear that may be YMMV.

I have sort of an interesting job, but I am still poor as hell. I am a writer for a newspaper around Louisville, Ky. Since I work in sports, I get to do cool stuff like dick around all day at the Derby for free and all that. Plus, I am 26 and have two semesters left as an undergrad and am going...

Oh, it didn't happen to me. I was the prick that did it to the guy. I know the sale was final and I would have felt bad for him. But who sells a pristine system that way? Me? Sell to GameStop? Bwahaah. Only when I flip games (which is wrong, but feels...oh so good). Basically, the employees...

As long as it doesn't stop you from getting your game, you'd be surprised what you can take. If I hadn't had a copy of that game...well that kid was fuckin dead. In a way, it's not their fault. That company is pretty crazy, but hey we love games and they sell them. We're stuck together. When I...

I used to work at a GS and I worked with some real dumbasses. You had all the stereotypes: the 16-year-old girl who plays her DS on the sales floor and ties up the phone calling her douchebag 22-year-old boyfriend. The Pokemon kid who, well, just plays Pokemon. It's not any worse than any other...

I've been waaaay more into VC than I thought I would be. Up until recently, I've purchased something nearly every week. I own: Gunstar Heroes Super Castlevania IV Contra III Super Mario World Super Mario Brothers SimCity Kirby's Adventure Kid Icarus LoZ: Link to the Past Streets of Rage Bonk's...

I was so interested in this, I took a little tally of what everyone had said. Surprisingly, the Devil May Cry series is actually winning thus far Here's how I scored it: Devil May Cry (1& 3) Okami Final Fantasy XII Metal Gear Solid 3 ( I didn't put this on my list because it appeared on XBox)...

These threads can be annoying, but this is actually a good topic, just because of how varied the PS2 library is. My God, I've had one for six years and my collection has spilled off the shelves and into stacks on the floor. It's the first console I owned tht I was old enough to work and buy...

This is pretty dead on. Here's the thing about the PS2: it's versatile library has changed the way I play games. Coming into this generation, I played Metal Gear, the first-party Nintendo stuff, every stupid year of Madden. I was, oh I don't know, 75% of gamers. The dirty, casual kind. Now...

I wasn't saying that this is true for every store in the system. Just the ones around here. I think the disc you get is dependent on how busy it is at the time and how well they know the person. My point when i worked there was that they should be more choosy about what they take. All the stuff...

I am starting this thread because there seem to be some misconceptions about what really goes on at EB/GS. I'm not trying to bash the company in any way, but there are things people should know. As for me, I worked as a manager at a GS in the Louisville/Southern Indiana area. I was hired in as...

I worked at a Gamestop here in Indiana as a manager over the summer. Sounds absurd, but I quit a $35,000 a year job to go back to school and work at GS. ANYWAY - We did not test systems UNLESS the person trading it in looked shady. By this I mean reeked of smoke, looked suspicious (and in a...
