    Rogue Galaxy just gets very dull quickly and is full of padding. It feels like ni no Kuni except ni no Kuni is much worse in that regard.

    Thanks for the heads up on this lads!
    I remember looking at Bluetooth keyboards 3 or 4 years ago and the cheapest at the time was €70.

    The other 2.4ghz wireless keyboards with the dongle were cheaper but not this cheap!
    I bought an a4tech one about the same size and the range of the thing was so crap it didn't work half the time, even after I soldered a WiFi antennea inside it.

    Going to mainly use it with my iPad, its an absolute bargain.

    Picked up this pair in Xtravision, tenner each. No idea if Darksiders 2 is any good, only played the original which I know plays slightly differently (more puzzle-orientated I think?). Heard Zombiu is fairly decent so worth a punt for the prices I figured. Actually, one good thing about the relative unpopularity of the Wii-U to date - pre-owned discs are in superb condition! :pac:

    Picked up new mario bros on the wiiU In hmv for 30, cheaper than I've seen it anywhere else.

    They also had a few wiiU games for 15, batman armoured and mass effect 3. Tekken too I think.

    Just picked me up a copy of Skyward Sword and Kirby Epic Yarn in Argos.

    €12.50 each is a great price imo.

    Its worth noting that Skyward Sword is not the one they show in the picture in the catalogue http://www.argos.ie/static/Product/partNumber/2049526.htm

    Its just the regular version. Part of me is happy as I'm definately opening it to play it. If it had been the special edition I'd have had to buy two. One to play and one to leave in its wrapper so to speak.

    They both join the ever growing back catalogue. I sometimes wonder why I bother buying new/old games at all. I need to clone myself to have the time to play half of them! :(

    good pull this weekend :D.
    My mother visited us from france and brought my old Amiga, tons of floppies and my Master System games ... (MSX2 the master system are still there and coming next time)
    Then we stopped by chance at a car boot sale and scored two PS1 with games (nothing good) and controlers and a PS2 with GTA san andreas, need for speed underground and state of Emergency all working, for €30.

    nice!

    Nice one, I'm not a fan of GTA SA but State of Emergency is brilliant

    That's the first time I heard anyone say anything nice about state of emergency. Thought the game was god awful.

    Actually, My mistake.

    Sorry :(

    I was wondering. We slag you about your taste in games sometimes but I didn't think it had fallen that low. State of emergency is Rise of the Robots levels of bad. I heard tales of shops buying hundreds of copies since it was released after GTA 3 on the Rockstar label. They were really caught out when it was a total dud and failed to sell anything.


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 34,526 CMod ✭✭✭✭CiDeRmAn


    That's what happened to Driv3r as well.
    Utter tripe, Gamestop bought tons of them, I got to play it a week before release.
    It was sh1te.
    Brought it back and gave them my opinion, faces dropped and many many ended up returned and sold discounted.
    Dreadful game with no redeeming features.

    Haven't been around for the last few weeks but our latest bundle of joy just arrived home, it's our third in the house. Sure it will be all new again and a bit of a struggle but soon it'll be second nature. There will be plenty of late nights, tears and laughter but know you'll be loved by all the family. I'm over the moon at the moment, must put a picture up later.

    Picture as promised. He's green and white all over and weighed in at 336 grams. We're going to call him Yoshi, the new communal 3ds for the house.

    It will be well looked after, I want to get something like this. http://www.aliexpress.com/item/High-Quality-Clear-Transparent-Crystal-Case-Cover-For-Nitendo-3DS-XL-LL/1232007766.html
    It would be a shame to cover the artwork, tbh I blame Andrew for posting the link over the other thread.
