Well, I'm pretty terrible at them, but the strategy aspects (I've been watchin' a lot of youtube commentary videos of people playing) of Shogun 2 has really interested me. It's simplistic yet incredibly complex in it's simplicity which is what really interests me about it.Quote:

Ehhhhhh ... that's a bit of a stretch, imo. Unless they changed something specifically for Shogun, there's still empire building and all of that involved. Now, all of the empire stuff on the map is turn-based, so you have time to do one thing at a time and take all the time you want. But during a battle, there's still a healthy amount of micro management involved. Make sure you play a demo before you commit to that.Quote:

I was feeling all hyped up to start a new rpg on the DS. I wanted to play Dragon Quest VI, but as i opened it and looked inside i see....Dragon Quest IX. I already own DQ IX but haven't played yet. I really hope i can find my receipt and get this fixed at GAMESTOP. I guess it's wise to always check your games after u buy them but damn....thought i could trust.
If you paid with a credit card, I think they keep receipts in the store computers for like 30 days.
I've bought 3 or 4 used games from Gamestop in the past, only to open it and find no disc at all. I still don't understand how you could forget the main part of the purchase.
But yeah, they'll probably let you swap it out without a receipt. If not, give them a little grief and I'm sure they'll be able to help you right out.
Cause the PSP actually has more than 4 games to play. Wait until Nintendo releases a new Super Mario, Zelda, etc for the 3DS and it'll blow the PSP out of the water like always.
Fancy Pants Adventures came out on PSN yesterday and XBL today. I definitely recommend this $10 title. It's kinda like a Sonic-type game, and the art style is really cool.
:D

NEW YORK (AP) - You've seen her in concert, music videos and in the movies. But a video game maker says the reason you haven't seen Beyonce in a video game - is because she backed out of a project for one - and they are suing the entertainer because of that.
Gate Five LLC has sued Beyonce claiming that she signed in June for a deal to do a game called "Starpower: Beyonce." But before the project came out, the company says Beyonce demanded a new deal - then backed out altogether.
The lawsuit claims Gate Five lost nearly $7 million in investment in the Beyonce deal and estimates it lost more than $100 million in potential profits. And on top of that, some 70 people lost jobs.
Beyonce's publicist didn't immediately respond to inquiries about the lawsuit, which was filed in New York City.

Interesting.
Not sure how that's gonna work out for them. At $2 a day, that's mighty expensive quite quickly.
That would be perfect for one night platinum runs.
Not many games you can do that with though :D unless you don't sleep.Quote:

Well...yeah. :PQuote:
