PO DS games are now guaranteed to come with case and manual. I'll probably pick up Mr Driller.[/quote]

Smart move by EB. I'm a little dissapointed they don't carry this practice over to GBA games. I consider GBA to be in the same generation as GCN, PS2, and Xbox no reason they can't guarantee those books at least.

Well, probably because besides us collectors (me very much included) a lot of people don't save the flimsy boxes and they wouldn't be able to take many trade-ins at ALL! :)
 
[quote name='punqsux']how is ridge racer for the ds? i enjoyed the ps RR games but this gen has sucked.[/quote]
Its a RR64 port so I wouldn't pay that much for it.

Yea, I doubt many people go through the trouble of keeping the boxes. Manuals are probably shoved away in a desk junk drawer for most people. I keep mine in a box, but I'd probably be too lazy to dig up the manual/box if I'm going to trade it in since they are in my parent's attic.

To be fair, the 64 version was a very good game. Can't say about the DS though, as I've never played it.
 
[quote name='bone_matrix']It is complete, but it is the Japanese complete version, well, minus Xbox live play, but for $2.24, its worth it.[/quote]

It's also missing two unlockable characters and the boss characters I believe.
 
[quote name='urzishra14']can someone link me to a thread for the "good" demo discs or like only the vol 2 come with a complete game? *i'm talking xbox*[/quote]

Well there really isn't a thread with the "good demo discs" but I can tell which ones they are. Really the only great ones were the first two. The first one didn't come with any complete/near complete games but it is the one that came with the extra downloadable content for DOA 3 with the extra skins for characters, etc. The first one also came with some awesome demos and music videos if I recall correctly (note I don't own this one, but am looking for one) Exhibition 2 came with the near complete Capcom vs. SNK 2 and some great demos and some extra content like music videos, etc. None of the others are really anything spectacular. They have some nice demos and maybe a couple walkthroughs and video clips but nothing great. I kind of liked the fifth and seventh one, though, from what I have seen of them.
 
[quote name='urzishra14'][quote name='wageslave']Well, after missing out so many times before I finally managed to order a copy of "oracle of seasons". Hopefully it lives up to the hype. Capcom + Zelda = what could go wrong?[/quote]

i don't know if i would say "its zelda it must be good' but i hope you enjoy the game.. i didn't tihnk zelda was ever an adventure that fit the "small screen" very well.. but ok.. i think i would have suggested that MVC2 that game is the best fighter i had ever played.. ever.[/quote]

I think the original 2d zeldas fit the "small screen" of the GB/GBC/GBA perfectly. The top down view is just awesome and Link's Awakening is still one of my favorite Zeldas, it's actually number two on a top ten list with OoT coming in first.

And I agree, MVC2 is one of the best fighters I have ever played if not the best.
 
[quote name='dcfox']I never played any of the hand held Zelda's but just ordered Oracle of Ages today. Hopefully it'll be good.[/quote]

Are you kidding me? Both GBC Zeldas are in the upper echleons of all games, let alone the Zelda series. Get them both, and I assure you that you'll love them both.
 
dcfox, you really cant go wrong with any zelda games (sans cd-i) if you like one, odds are you will like them all, and while the games all have similar gameplay, they each have so many different aspects to them that no 2 games are really comparable
 
[quote name='dcfox']I never played any of the hand held Zelda's but just ordered Oracle of Ages today. Hopefully it'll be good.[/quote]

As everyone else has already told you, you will like it. Well, unless you don't enjoy excellent games! ;)

As a matter of fact I don't enjoy excellent games. :lol: But thanks for the input everyone. Can't wait till it arrives.
 
Apparantly against popular opionion, I found the Zelda Oracle games to be much worse than Link's Awakening (the other GBC Zelda) as well as most other Zelda games.

Vol. 3 was probably the worst.

Apex, ATV: Quad Power Racing 2, Gladius, MotoGP 2, NBA Street Vol. 2, Return to Castle Wolfenstein: Tides of War, Brute Force, Inside Pitch 2003 and Tao Feng.

Vol. 4 wasn't great either.

ESPN NBA Basketball, Return to Castle Wolfenstein: The Tides of War (Live-Enabled), Magic: The Gathering - Battlegrounds, Metal Arms: Glitch in the System, Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six 3, Prince of Persia Sands of Time, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Voodoo Vince, PGR2 and Grabbed by the Ghoulies.

Vol. 5 had some decent demos.

NBA Ballers, Psi-Ops The Mindgate Conspiracy, Metal Slug 3, Ninja Gaiden, Shadow Ops Red Mercury, Rallisport Challenge 2, Chronicles of Riddick Escape From Butcher Bay.

Vol. 6 was meh.

Full Spectrum Warrior, Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six 3 Black Arrow, NCAA Football 2005, Men of Valor, OutRun 2, Second Sight, Blinx 2: Masters of Time & Space

Vol. 7 isn't bad either.

ESPN NHL 2005, Burnout 3 Takedown, Kingdom Under Fire: The Crusaders, The SprongeBob SquarePants Movie, Dead or Alive Ultimate, Star Wars Republic Commando, and The Incredibles.

I actually am with you, I thought that the Oracles games were below my Zelda expectations. I don't know, I think they just felt a little gimmicky (sp) to me.

What a clusterf***!

Again I see eyetoy Play in stock from a search screen but can't get it in my cart . . . did anyone here buy it?

I did get the Nicktoons eyetoy game . . . which my kids will love.

Whoever beat me was very, very fast

I can't believe Crisis Zone is available still. $27.50 + tax after coupons and card, and it includes the Guncon 2. I almost wish I hadn't already bought it at GameCrazy.

Alright, who's the wiseguy who swiped it out of my cart? I was just putting my codes in, dang it.

Seriously, don't worry about it, win some lose some. I'll be sure to keep my eyes on it in the future, though. Glad another CAG was able to get it. Enjoy the game.

Thanks for bringing this to my attention, guessed. I'd been meaning to grab this once it showed up used. Hopefully it'll be like my used copy of Time Crisis 3 that i got from EB - utterly new with only the outer shrinkwrap removed. :D

There is only one left. It's currently sitting in my cart with my coupon codes in. Please buy it before I do on it on impulse.

Do it, Strider! I've already bought my copy, so it's clear that the copy in your cart was meant for you!
 
So no ones willing to share the link to the pre-played code v and re 3 for cube? im not a hoarder, just trying to get the last two and don't feel like spending $40 on CV. Bah!

How often does this come in stock? Is it super rare at Ebgames.com or can I pick it up next week do you think? I'd like to get this and Vampire Night each with Guncons so me and the GF could play.
