MERCH!
Giant Bomb - a website about video games and the people that make them

Games I have bought and quick stories.


There is a huge difference between a game you have recieved and a game you have bought. 
Every purchase in a sense is a gamble, most new games these days cost $60 bucks. 
If you don't do research, you have the tendency to get burned. 
 
Nowadays, I gamefly almost every retail game, I buy a ton of PSN stuff though.  
Various games from puzzlers to shooters, and there was that horrible period where I bought EVERY game. 
 
This is going to be a mixture of recollection and regret probably, but oh well. 
Buyer Beware.

Demon's Souls

1. Demon's Souls

Bought the deluxe edition for the guidebook. Loved this game, but had no intention to play through it again after completion.

007: Tomorrow Never Dies

2. 007: Tomorrow Never Dies

There were two games I was looking at one day when I was younger, got money for my birthday, and had a choice between Gran Turismo 2 and this game. Guess which one I picked! Yeah, I'm a fool. Horrible game, and I'm not even a James Bond fan! No idea why I bought this.

Final Fight: Double Impact

3. Final Fight: Double Impact

Bought this game to share over PSN with my brother and sister, only to be foiled by the DRM. My sister (I bought it on her account) couldn't play it for the first 24 hours. And after that 24 hours, I couldn't play it at all! Well played Capcom.

MotorStorm

4. MotorStorm

Only bought this because of classic "I bought this new console, now I must buy games for it!" syndrome. Was alright, not a fan.

Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan

5. Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan

One of my favorite games, and one of the only games I have imported. I LOVED Elite Beat Agents, and this game had Ready Steady Go! Yes that was the big selling point.

Moero! Nekketsu Rhythm Damashii Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan 2

6. Moero! Nekketsu Rhythm Damashii Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan 2

Second game I have ever imported. Unfortunately this game borrowed a lot from EBA's story, so it was HIGHLY predictable. Spoiler: "Oh no, the Ouendan have been frozen, I bet a kid is going to start a big cheer that revives...oh, there they go. OU-EN-DAN!!

The World Ends with You

7. The World Ends with You

Came out on my birthday, and was an AMAZING surprise. My favorite DS game, ever. Loved the music, the characters, and the crazy battle system.

Tetris DS

8. Tetris DS

I HATE TETRIS, yet I bought this game. I thought that maybe this time I would finally love it. Nope.

Advance Wars: Days of Ruin

9. Advance Wars: Days of Ruin

Bought it only for the name, wasn't expecting much due to the brand new cast. Pleasantly surprised, made necessary updates to the gameplay, and was a fresh take. Pokemon should take notes.

Pokémon Diamond/Pearl

10. Pokémon Diamond/Pearl

Bought Diamond. Got the fire starter Had to grind to beat the first gym leader. Got to the first cave. Promptly said "**** this game" after running into repeated zubat and geodude, this is a NEW game for crying out loud!! I don't wanna fight 1st gen filler!!
