Just bought the following for GameCube:
Resident Evil Zero
Resident Evil 2 (Brand New)
Resident Evil: Nemesis (Brand New)
Resident Evil CODE: Veronica Complete (Brand New)
Looks like I can't go on my annual "First Week of June Dreamcast Shopping Spree" that I've done the last three years.
Although I did go on a DC shopping spree back in March, so I guess that makes up for it a bit.
I missed my annual "Spring MegaDrive Shopping Spree" that I do every April or May as well.
Dammit....

Xbox:
Destroy All Humans!
Conker Live & Reloaded
What Destroy All Humans! lacks in gameplay it makes up for in atmosphere and humor. And Conker Live's multiplayer isn't very fun and it just seems unnecesary to remake the Bad Fur Day portion. Needless to say I was dissapointed in both games, but if I knew what I know now I'd probably have bought them anyway if they were both in the $20-30 range.

Well, its gamerankings.com average for the PS2 version is 77% and that's about what I'd give it. Initially it is extremely fun, the main character Crypto has some psychic powers he can read minds and pick up objects and slam them into walls or throw them, but it starts to get really dull and has little to no lasting appeal. Furthermore the game is extremely short, the levels are very small (also there are only six of them IIRC) and the whole thing lasts only 8-10 hours. It is very easy, save for two or three difficult missions. From a technical standpoint the game is very unimpressive, the Xbox version appears to have no advantages over the PS2 version graphically, so both versions look just so-so.
HOWEVER aside from all those shortcomings, it makes up for them somewhat with great atmosphere, voice acting and humor. It's set in the 50's and it really does the B movie thing well. The voiceactors for the two lead characters are great, your CO type guy Pox is voiced by the same guy who did Raz in Psychonauts, and Crypto sounds just like Jack Nicholson (he isn't though). There are some great lines in the game, from scanning people's minds or just the regular dialogue. My favorite line from the game is:
"Crypto, the United States isn't the only place that has humans, there are humans all over the world"
"That's not what everyone here seems to think"
When all is said and done, I'd still recommend it, but not for $50--try and get it when it drops to under $30, which shouldn't take long.
Recently Bought street racer for the sega saturn, its not a bad game. I had the snes version and i thought it would be a port boy was i wrong it definetly looks so much nicer with 3d levels on the saturn. Also Bought Sonic 3D for the PC (sux compared to saturn version)
I picked up a few Atari 2600 Games today: Asteroids, Defender and Superman. Asteroids still has the manufactures seal. I'm not a collector, but when it costs $.50 more to get a brand new copy, hell yeah. I had to pop it open and play. Has anyone seen one of the Atari catalogs they packaged with the games? Damn those things are funny.

Friday: Gamegear and official battery pack, GG needs solder repair on the power connector, battery pack needs connector cable repaired, and a screw to hold it on. Road Rash, MLBPA Baseball, Desert Speedtrap, and some other baseball game, all $3.
