Welcome toThe Haul.

So I got some stuff.  Some games (some good, some great).  A peripheral.  And no time. Gears 2 is spectacular.  The whole Patton-esque segment after the prologue had me in awe.  Purchases will be on a much smaller scale for an indefinite time period after this.  My money will be going to Christmas gifts and the like.  A question for the ladies: how can a purse possibly cost so much?  I guess I blow tons of money on games, but it's hard to justify a purse purchase.  At least I can play my games... A purse just needs to hold stuff.  Oh well, I've never pretended to understand the opposite sex.  On to the games (I've gotta get this thing up before it hits midnight EST and they turn into pumpkins).

Get ready to be neglected Mr. Dog!

:-)

Woohoo for MGU!

Hahaha.  That is awesome.  It's always fun to see some well-intentioned mischief.

I love this guy.  He's great on all of the Futurama commentaries.

You're killing me!  I gotta play this game.

@Milkman:  Links to the GiantBomb pages are found at the top of the blog, giving my readers the option of which site they would like to use.  Please read more thoroughly before making condescending comments.

@Albedos: Exactly my thinking.

@tekmojo: $14.

@Bartiemus: Yeah, there are quite a few good PS3 games, but my Netflix subscription has me using it almost exclusively for Blu-Rays.

@Brandy:  The action figure isn't bad, but I don't collect them so I really have nowhere to put it.

Fallout 3.

Sounds great.

Welcome toThe Haul.

The purchases are kept to a minimum this week, with two sale offerings and another regrettable purchase of a Collector's Edition. Next week is going to be bad. And by bad, I mean expensive. And by expensive, I mean very expensive.

Since I've almost completely forsaken proper blogging, I'll give a quick update here. I finished Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia (DS) and Half-Life (PS2) this week, which frees me up for some gaming. Next on the docket (and in no particular order) are Fable 2, Fallout 3, and Gears 2. Possible short reviews for a couple games and maybe even a video blog (*GASP*) could grace these pages in the near future. Spooky indeed.

Genj: Days of the Blade - New

• Price: $11.17
  
• Location: Target through Amazon.
• Comments: Doesn't look particularly good, but it is a PS3 exclusive and those are the only games I bother with for my Blu-Ray player, err... PlayStation.

Overlord - New

• Price: 13.99
• Location: Amazon
• Comment: I always thought this game looked great, so I jumped on the cheap price.

• Price: :(
• Location: Amazon.com
• Comments: This game is supposed to be excellent and, once again, it is one of the few PS3 exclusives. The CE is actually pretty standard and was probably a poor choice. I'll likely be seeing these for half the price I paid in a few months. Comes with game, Chimera figure, downloadable multiplayer skin, bonus DVD, and art book.
