$5 seems reasonable enough. Oddly, $8 for a GBA or $10 for a SNES game is not. They need to(but wont) chill with their VC pricing.

 

Considering that it's the easiest thing in the world to pirate NES games nowadays on just about every platform imaginable, I think even 5 dollars is a bit much.  If they were priced in the 99 cent to 2 dollar range like phone apps I think they'd be a lot more tempting for impulse buys, but that's just me.

Speaking of 99 cents, I just bought the first 3 crash games, Crash Team Racing, Spyro the Dragon, Gex, Tokyo Jungle, and Back to the Future on PSN for a measly 8 dollars.

 

I know the tradition is to post pictures of the games but one of them was using an image extension that "isn't allowed" here and fuck if I was gonna bother finding out which one.

Both were grabbed over the course of the sale GMG just had. Typing was mostly out of humorous curiosity but it's actually kinda funny, enjoying it so far. Plus, turns out it includes the actual House of the Dead: Overkill game, so it's not just a joke game.

 

Doom 3 BFG, well, even after all these years I've yet to actually play Doom 3 all the way through to the end and this seemed like the best version to do it with. I've been eyeing it for a while, the price just hadn't gone low enough for me to bite until now. I know a lot of people think it's inferior because it lacks mod support and such but I'll take proper widescreen resolution support over mods any day. Doom 3 suffers from a stretched HUD when you force widescreen and that shit drives me fucking nuts.

This one was kind of a last second impulse purchase. I've been hearing it's decent for a while but I've ignored it until now, in part due to everything that happened surrounding 38 Studios and the uncertain future of the IP. Curiosity got the best of me, I guess. That and it looks like a pretty solid WRPG. I've built myself a bit of a JRPG backlog for the summer so I thought having a different kind thrown into the mix would help keep things interesting.

The only two games I tried so far worked fine, so maybe they're getting better as they go along? I installed them through the humble app rather than downloading them from the website so I don't know if that made a difference too?

 

It was the actual game of Carcasonne that I disliked, it was just really pointless and not at all fun. I only paid under £3 for the bundle, which is less than the Room 2 cost at the time so I've not really lost anything (I tell myself unconvincingly)

*sigh* Once again, I break my physical-only rule for console. Damn you and your Steam-like deals, Sony! I was going to wait until after I get around to playing Tales of Xillia (grabbed that one a couple months ago) but it was 10 bucks after PS+ discount. Even if I'd waited, I'd never get a physical copy for that price. I guess Sony are really starting to get digital distribution. When your price is so good I can no longer argue against buying digitally, you're doing it right. This is like the third time they get me.
