It's another impulse buy. I went and got Marvel versus Capcom 2 for the PS2 today which cost £19.99 pre-owned. I also traded in about 8 games just to get £13 off. Thats like £2 a game. They were mostly decent Xbox games that I had finished or just didn't play anymore but I still think I should have kept some of them. I mean, Unreal Championship 2 is good right? It's shocking what they offer you when you trade games in. They have to be worth more than a pound for games like Half-Life 2. I bet they will sell it for like £10, although Xbox games don't seem to be selling much these days. Thats probably why they're almost worthless when trading in. Damn, should've thought of that

At least the game was worth it this time. It is pretty fun to play even the computer and I've barely gotten into it. I have been playing loads of fighting games recently, I picked up Street Fighter Alpha Anthology a few weeks ago and blew the dust off of King of Fighters '02 earlier today. I even got a fighting game controller for the PS2 with the six button layout. Only cost £10.

I just wish I could play some human players...

Everyday this month I walked past my local Gamestation and noticed a cheap Dreamcast in the window, it was only £27 with 4 (crappy) games. After checking the other DC games they had in-store about 20 times, I decided to just go for it. So when I went in today the guys behind the counter were glad when I asked for the DC. They wanted to get rid of it and a huge pile of games they had in the stock room. They even dropped the price of all the games to just £1 each. I thought that I might aswell go for it and get loads now while I could for so cheap. The whole bundle included:

The Console, 2 controllers and a Memory card

Aero Wings

Charge 'N Blast (free since it was just the disc)

Crazy Taxi

Ecco the Dolphin: Defender of the Future

Grandia II

Jet Set Radio

Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver

Metropolis Street Racer

Sega Rally Championship 2

Shenmue II

Sonic Adventure (with another free copy)

Sonic Adventure 2

Soul Calibur

Star Wars Episode 1: Jedi Power Battles

Star Wars Demolition

Star Wars Episode 1: Racer

I actually intended to get a Sega Saturn but the bundle I wanted was sold just yesterday! It came with Panzer Dragoon Saga, Sonic Jam, Virtua Fighter 2 and Command & Conquer. Gutted

I just bought a DS and yes it was worth it! So far I'm very impressed, I got New Super Mario Bros with it and its great fun. Even my none-game playing family love it.

At first I kinda regretted blowing £120. Then when I got home it didn't really matter that it cost so much, it was money well spent in my honest opinion. I was never really into handhelds but this totally changed my mind about them. It even got me playing old GBA games again

Now I have to start saving for a xbox 360 all over again...

My first paycheck came through today So now comes the dilema - What to buy! I've pretty much narrowed it down to either a Xbox 360 or a new Bass Guitar. Its difficult to choose because I can think of plenty reason why I should and shouldn't get either.

For a start, I've already got loads of games (some of which I haven't even started!) to play and I know that I dont need more. I havent always got a lot of time to play games often anyway. But I am looking for an excuse to get a 360, Xbox Live certainly is enticing...

Also, I already have an electric guitar and my brother has a tattered old bass that I sometimes use so maybe I dont need one just yet. But he doesnt let me use it most of the time and its just a cheap 4-string that doesnt sound great. I am pretty sure that I'll play it all the time if I get one. (gonna go with a EDB605 if anyone knows what that is.)

My birthday is coming soon so I might aswell wait till then and get both if I cant decide

Yep, I've started college this week and my first job starts on Saturday. I'm not going to have a lot of time for gamespot sadly, or anything for that matter because college is during the week and the job is all weekend. How crappy is that gonna be! During the past few months I havent had to do anything since I left school. Late nights, very long lys in bed... and now I'm straight in the deep end with 6-7 day weeks.

There is a good side to this though, the money is well worth all that since I get paid to go to college so in a few weeks, its time for a 360 and xbox live me thinks!!
