This Month's Haul: June

[Yoshi]

I'll edit my post, just for you, snookums.

just posting the box of the game is stupid - post some thoughts about the game, price, whatever.

Agreed.

Went to Gamestop while my g/f was at the bank. Buy 2 get 1 free used sale, so I picked up the following:

Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay (XBox): Just played through the first half-hour or so. The atmosphere in this game is second only to HL2. Starbreeze really nailed it. Best movie-based game ever.

Freedom Fighters (XBOX): Rented this years ago for PS2, really enjoyed it, but never got around to buying it until today. This is one of the great unsung classics of the previous generation, everybody really needs to try it.

Mortal Kombat: Deception (XBOX): Haven't played a fighter in a long time, so I picked this up. It's really fun, even though the Konquest mode is really dorky. I love unlocking stuff in the Krypt. Anyone wants to play some Kombat (either regular or Puzzle) let me know.

Oh yeah, I had forgotten that I stopped by and took advantage of that on Saturday.

Got Killer 7, Billy Hatcher, and Kill.Switch.

Is this any good? Read the synopsis earlier, worth a blind buy?

I'm pretty excited to see it. I always spot it on top 10 cheese lists.

I only caught it once on TNT's Monstervision like 6 years or so ago. I'm assuming it was cut up pretty badly but I still enjoyed what was there. In fact, I fell in love with it. It's pretty much an arthouse zombie film that makes you go "WTF?" a lot so make your decisions accordingly.

Got it as part of the Beer 4 Bags dealie Crumpler had going on this week. It cost me one case of Sapporo and one bottle of soy sauce. I'm not too keen on the color but in NYC these things tend to lose their brightness in the span of a week.

i really wanted to do this after finding out about it in the Village Voice daily newsletter earlier that week. i don't know why i didn't go.

Hit Circuit City yesterday, grabbed Diablo II, LoD, and the Starcraft battlechest each for $7.99 (they price-matched LoD cause they were out of HL:Eps. 1). Never played Diablo before, but it seems pretty visceral for a dungeon crawl. Outstanding music as well. Unfortunately, it also seems fairly mindless and repetitive. Does it get better the further you get into it?

I really hope they have more Episode 1's in tomorrow.

New copy. Finally.
