    I went on a used game binge today and picked up a bunch of stuff. Spent $36 for the lot at various Gamestops. I love the occasional tour of local Gamestops despite having to put up with endless sales pitches for disc insurance, membership renewal, and preorders. I have to say, because of all their aggressive selling, I do this sort of thing much less often than I used to (hope you're listening GS executives). Here's what I got.

Rage [X360]: I always wanted to see what John Carmack's new ID Tech 5 engine could do. Plus I liked the demo. 

Singularity [X360]: The last game Raven did before they started doing work on COD. Coming off of Wolfenstein, which I loved, I've always wanted to play this.

Operation Darkness [X360]: I didn't like the camera when I played the demo, but the basic gameplay made me think this was the Valkyria Chronicles for 360. Maybe it is. I want to find out.

Blue Dragon Plus [DS]: I got Blue Dragon on 360 just for getting the achievements, but I quickly fell in love with the game. It's a no brainer for me to go after this DS iteration.

Untold Legends: Brotherhood of the Blade [PSP]: I was surprised to find this at Gamestop since most of the stores have gotten rid of their PSP games, but I had to have the boxed copy in my collection over the digital version on PSN, because I have fond memories of playing this to completion with a friend over the PSP's WiFi network. It was Baldur's Gate Dark Alliance all over again.

   Can you image what a crazy mash up all these games would make? I'm thinking of a very dark take on Skylanders featuring dragons throwing wingsticks and a time control mechanic.

Operation Darkness is a great game the cameras not as bad as they said it is, it gets hard toward im guessing the end since i haven't beat it but i had a blast with it and Rage is a good game i did really like this as well.

I remember when Rage came out, reviewers were saying the Wingsticks made the game too easy. That you could decapitate suckers at will. Sounds good to me.

LOL. I laughed at the title and remarked "John's playing too many games!" to Jason. Glad I was wrong and you just went on a spending spree.

Now I'm paying back the loan I took with myself. Luckily I don't charge any interest.

I first heard of Operation Darkness in the last couple years from an article on Hardcoregaming101. I'd love to play it Smile
