    Went on a bit of binge this week.

    I picked up the following:

    Okami (Wii)
    Madworld (Wii)
    Resident Evil 4 (Wii)
    Muramasa: The Demon Blade (Wii)
    The World Ends With You (DS)
    Starfox 64 3D (3DS)

    You can't beat a good bulk buy. Curse my Mt. Olympus backlog though!

    Okami is simply amazing, probably the best Zelda game that didn't feature Link or.... Zelda!
    RE4 is great on the Wii, plus widescreen and 480p support, afaik
    Muramasa, I'm playing it on the Vita right now and it has almost converted me on the subject of sidescrolling beatem ups! In fact, it's one of a series of purchases from the developer Vanillaware that includes Muramasa Rebirth, Dragons Crown and Odins Sphere, on the Vita, PS3 and PS2 respectively.
    There's another called Princess Crown that's also gorgeous but it's only on the jap Saturn so I'm waiting for a patched version in english.
    Starfox 3D is great, feels just a little like a missed opportunity, why couldn't they have included the Snes game too??

    How much did your haul cost btw?

    It cost €70 in total delivered, all second-hand though from CEX however all in great condition. They seemed to be the cheapest around by a fair bit when compared other sites. Muramasa for example has held onto it's value quite well.

    Those are a few titles you mentioned which are new to me. Look well though from the screenshots.

    Picked up Heroes of Ruin in CeX today for 3DS for €12 and Sonic Chronicles on DS in a charity shop for princely sum of €3, no book but did have the box.

    When I find a great great game, like Dragons Crown, I look at the developer and see what else they've released and in their case it has bee a series of innovative RPGs that are played out like a Arcade brawler, but much better.
    Similarly, Grasshopper have released so many good games, and plenty of weirdness but always worth picking up.
    The granddaddy of this is Treasure, so many amazing games with only one or two ropey numbers, well worth investigating in Gunstar Heroes or Dynamite Heady

    So CEX can deliver now? I guess it will be a great for bargain hunting!

    Yes they do. Although it's less of a hunt and more of a grenade in a barrel of fish! Still, it's a great resource to have.

    I spent €40 today on ps2 games. My wallet hates you all.

    Great resource for those of us who only get near a cex every blue moon.

    Picked up lego city on Saturday for 25 quid in gameshtaap. Second hand but heard it was good. Bloody load times are the worst I've seen though...

    That's a great price there.
    I was thinking of picking it up myself, though loading times would put me right off tbh.

    Lego city will be on my radar too. I love lego and that game supposed to be good.

    I almost bought on amazon zombieU, Re revelations and Raymon legends. Was working out only 45eu in total. Had to stop myself though, as I realised that I am on crack called monster hunter and those games will never be played... :(

    Just a word on Lego City. That game has no right to be as good as it is. It is the first game I can remember in my adult life where I actually laughed out loud, many many times. The humour has a very Leslie Nielsen feel about it which I love. I didn't think I would like the general gameplay either but the simple act of collecting Lego bits is unusually satisfying.

    It's a simple and enjoyable love letter to all of those cheesy cop shows of the 80's and 90's and it makes no apologies for it. 'Tis full of movie parodies too. Have a look at this cut-scene to make yee open your wallets:

    I have to say it was sneaky, but fair play to you sir. I though codes were one per account.

    Amazon had it last week for £25 pound and i picked up 4 copys of it so i said why not ?. Stock up on Wii U games.

    Set up 4 accounts and just put each code into my account i have on my Wii U and download them so i have 4 extra games now.

    I was reading there on HUKD that some people used 10 codes on there account to get every game that they had on the offer

    I've heard that Ninty have been removing the free games from peoples' accounts citing "eBay code abuse" - there was a guy on HUKD I think talking about having redeemed 5 codes and the last 2 disappearing from his eShop history.

    So take a photo of yourself holding your 4 copies of MarioKart before you sell them on :) Amazon Abuse may not be regarded as a crime yet in Nintyland!

    Got myself a blue 3ds xl with firmware 4.5 on it ;). Not going to say anything more about that as I think I would get a ban for it lol

    Only 140 In a pawn shop in Waterford delighted with it the body is not the best but I will probably replace that down the line.

    Have to sell my white 3ds xl with Mario kart on the sd card now lol. Was thinking 150 ? Are they worth that ?
