Those long boxes are kinda annoying. They always come with one corner broken so they don't stay closed too well.
It seems they wanted to differentiate themselves from music CDs by making those long boxes, but I guess cost drove them to go to standard CD cases anyway. I couldn't really find a good explanation online so I'm going with my guesswork.
All the Sega CD games are in long boxes I think.
Just discovered Howlongtobeat.com so here's a breakdown of play times just to do the main story, no DLC, to help you make a decision.
Resonance of Fate: 45 hours
Dishonored: 12 hours
Deus Ex: Human Revolution: 20 hours
Fallout New Vegas: 31 hours
Dead Space 2: 9 hours
So I'd say start with Dead Space 2, then Dishonored.
Interesting. I always wondered about that. I still see ads for DVDs all the time. I guess it's just me then. I haven't bought a DVD in ages.
Civil War: 1863 I believe and it requires iOS 4.3 or later. Arghhh! It looks awesome! I'm going to have to look into getting a new iPod Touch that can take a higher iOS. This is unbearable!
I know a Gamestop near me that still has a copy of Persona 3 Portable complete in the box. I think it might be a collector's edition or something. I'm so tempted to go get it.
Ecco the Dolphin frustrated me too. I really wanted to see all the underwater graphics in the game, but the gameplay was difficult in parts and the goals mystifying. I'll have to go through it with a guide to see everything next time.
That Space Invaders graphic with the modern warfare hardware below is really cool.
I just discovered my version of the SP is not the brighter backlit one. There's a better GBA SP out there, the one with Model Number AGS-101, that has a brighter screen. I'm going to have to keep my eye out for one.
I love the size of that thing, so compact. I just wish it had a headphone jack and a brighter screen. I have the Tribal Edtion.
What did the fever dreams tell you to play?
