Lots of new games out today.. anyone play..

[Raedon]

Something like 16 games hit the shelves today.. Though I don't think I'll be getting Deerhunter 2k4 or Pro Cast Fishing..

I've had Soul Cal. II for PS2 JAP for a while and think it does the game justice.. I hear the Xbox and cube versions are better (the ps2 graphics are getting pretty dated.)

anyone get Tron 2.0? I don't think it came out today but it looks cool.

[dave2236]

Best Buy had a bunch of Tron 2.0 right by the door when you walked in. I read the box, but it didn't have a price on it. They had about 20 of them I think.....I did buy Two Towers and Animal House on DVD

[Raedon]

I thought about buying Two Towers but I can't do it when I know a 4 disc collectors set is already in the works.

[AB Positive]

Only Washington State and Texas got SC2 today, but I'll be there at the opening hour for my copy on the GCN!

they have a 10 minute preview for the 4 disk set on this 2 disk one. scenes with Borimer and his family, plus some more Ent scenes.

Looks awesome plus a preview for Return of the King

I was at Wal-Mart this morning...didn't really notice anything new in the way of games but I did see some new discount-priced DVDs. Almost picked up 9 to 5 but didn't. Later on, I did receive the PS2 game "Maximo" in the mail...

Bought F-Zero GX today, and came home with that SuperGrafX :D .

I forgot about SC2. Too bad I'm broke...

That's why it's on my "wait and see" list.

I did, however, pick up F-Zero GX, and I can happily report that it's not different than the Japanese version I imported for $100 three weeks ago. :D

And it's damn tough.

Most reviews have said all versions are virtually identical save for extra characters....

[josekortez]

Circuit City is giving away a $10 gift card and a t-shirt with the purchase of Soul Calibur 2. Anybody know about a better deal?

I wasn't going to buy it, but I'm a sucker for a free t-shirt, and I'm going to buy Street Hoops with the gift card.

Oh, and I'm getting the GameCube version just for Link, if anybody's taking a tally...

[SoulBlazer]

I do plan to get the new F-Zero game, but I'll probaly wait a few months and pick up a used copy cheap.

There IS one game that I have pre-ordered that is due out today (Wed) -- Republic: The Revolution for the PC. Susposed to be a wonderfull sim/RPG/action game where you are the person in control of a political party at the end of the Cold War that just overthrew the Communists in a Eastern European country. Been getting rave previews. The game has been delayed a few times, but I'm hopefull EB will finally call me with news of the game coming in. :)

[MarioAllStar2600]

Around here S.C. 2 hits shelves tommorow. I reserved the game a little while though. One problem, havn't gone to work since before cge. :/ . Good thing is my b-days thursday so my parents are going to pick it up and give it to me as a b-day present. I never played Tron until CGE this year. Looking foward to playing Tron 2.0, I enjoyed the first one. Anyone playe dit yet?

[Mayhem]

The PS2 version of SC2 is easiest the least of the 3, but that's not saying much. Sure some of the resolution and textures are off compared to GC/Xbox and the loading times REALLY suck (GC loads each fight in about a second!), but it's still a damn fine version.

F-Zero GX is just the shitnaz though LOL

Buy both people... I've been enjoying them for ages, so you should too :)

In Kansas, the GS I go to got the PS2 version last night and the rest arrive today. I'll be there to pick up my 3 copies tonight. Yes... I'm that stupid! @_@ Most of the other major stores don't get it until tomorrow.

[Gamereviewgod]

After playing all 3 versions of SC2, I love the GC the best. The X-box has the buttons all mixed up (granted, they can be set differently, but still), the PS is fugly, and the Gamcube has Link. That, and I have a strange attachment to the GC standard controller and this game....though I have NO idea why.

[Nature Boy]

Been getting rave previews

What game *doesn't* get rave previews these days though?

The only thing I bought yesterday was Two Towers. I barely watch 'extra' DVDs anyway, so waiting for two months for 2 discs I won't watch doesn't make much sense. Besides, the extra 45 min attached to the movie itself makes it even *tougher* to find time to sit down and watch 'em - back to back of course :D

I'll probably pick up Bombastic when I see it. SC2 I'm gonna wait on for awhile and get a used, Gamecube copy at some point.

[buttasuperb]

The only reason the PS2 version of SC2 doesn't look as good is because of the other systems ability to display in a higher resolution.

Link is a panzy.

[Drexel923]

I'm waiting to see if I get a job at GameStop before I do anything. If I do then I'll grab SC and F-Zero for Cube and save 20 bucks. If I don't then I'll probably just wait a while for price drops.

[AB Positive]

Playing through SC2 (GCN) now for a bit, and Link doesn't seem to be as overpowered as everyone was making him out to be. Yes, he has projectiles, but I've been having a lot of fun with Ivy's sick whip distance with her sword. I'm surprised how much range she has.

Right on about Bombastic. I hope this one catches more folks' attention. Devil Dice is one of the best PSX games, no doubt.

I also want E Jay Clubworld, another music making title, which sells for $9.99. Gave it a try, not badat all-though MAGIX Music Maker might be a bit better.

And Drexel, that's a great idea. You have no idea how nice that discount really is. :D

[l_lamb]

I'm on the lookout for Bombastic (what a crappy name!) right now. I still play the hell out of Devil Dice (no pun intended).

I'm also waiting for the LOTR: TT 4-disc edition in November. My little Blockbuster store sold 78 copies of it on the first day, and about a dozen customers said they'd be back to get the 4-disc version. I did get the Simpsons season 3 set.
