The 2DS is a fine device. Hope you get one, one way or another.

Sweet battle!

PS2 is a great system and they released FIFA 14 on it just last month! So many games for that system. I'll never give up my Silver Slim PS2. I play all my PS1 games on it as well. It's really refreshing to plug it in. No muss, no fuss. Play my Dragon Quest VIII. Oh yeah!

I have one retro store that opened up in the mall a year or so ago, so I have one option at least. All the local Gamestops around me sent their PS2 games to the city stores last year, where they still sell, but I guess they're leaving those places too.

I saw the Rayman Origins game on Wii-U a while back and was really impressed.

Leaps now are small but noticeable. I was thinking today that Oblivion is a bad comparison. I should compare a game like God of War Ascension or last year's COD: MW3. The differences would probably be pretty minimal. I don't know though, I'm still thrilled to play Killzone: Shadowfall sometime when I can afford a PS4.

It's inevitable - sigh - that improvements will come along and make your beloved games look lousy. I guess, though, that a game like Wizardry, with almost no graphics, is still appealing to me despite all that.

I really like the evolution mechanic in Pokemon. It's really cool. Squirtle becomes Blastoise? He daikaiju, fight Godzilla!

Oh yea, I heard Hydro Thunder was really good and worth the $15.

I can't wait for Angry Birds Star Wars to hit XBLA (Oct. 29). I wasn't too into the Trilogy (I watched my buddy play it and teased him mercilessly for playing a casual game - just kidding of course), but I am all over AB Star Wars.

     I've worked my game spending into my budget now so I can reign it in. Otherwise I start overspending. I end up overspending anyway sometimes, but having that number stare at me in the face makes me think twice next time. I do a straight 10% of income for fun stuff. It's for all needless spending, but games is what I've been using it for lately, and the occasional movie.

     It's really hard to resist the temptation. I know that all too well. Just remember how much free stuff is out there. If I was stone broke, I could still have loads of free games to play and talk about. Sometimes I like the limitations - less stuff to obsess over. As someone once said, "more money = more problems".
