I had to hit a couple more Gamestop's on the way to work today to take advantage of the sale on last gen games. Pickings got meager and a few were too pricey for what I think these games are worth. Here's what I got today:
XCOM: Enemy Within: This the expansion to and retweaked version of XCOM: Enemy Unknown. I've always wanted this game. I payed about $4 a game today, which is the sweet spot.
Prey: The 2006 one. I've played it several times, but I wanted it on my shelf in case I want to run through it again. There's still hard mode to beat.
Dragon Age Inquisition: I stupidly got this, forgetting that it also came out on XBO/PS4 in 2014. This is what happens when you can't find enough games to make the sale. Or certain games you want are just way too much.
Call of Juarez: The Cartel: The third and last full Call of Juarez game that came out. I've played 1 and 2 and always wanted to try this. I seem to remember it was designed for co-op sort of like the Army of Two games. This is why Mark and I never got it when it came out. I'm willing to try it though, even if Mark isn't.
Resistance 3: Always wanted to play this and now I have the complete trilogy. Why Insomniac never bundled all three together for PS4 or remastered any of them is a mystery to me. They are totally worth it. They were Gears before Gears, is how I think of them now.
Call of Duty: World at War: The last COD game I played until I played COD: Black Ops just this year. I always liked the WWII COD games. The Modern Warfare ones just asked too much cover shooting for my taste. World at War is a Treyarch developed game. They also did the Black Ops series which I've just discovered is great.
inFamous 2: I remember in 2009 when inFamous 1 came out alongside Prototype, two very similar games. I always wanted to play both, Prototype on X360 and inFamous on PS3. I watched Mark play Prototype and I always wanted to join in and also get the Sony exclusive inFamous. I got inFamous 1 for free one year when Sony was giving it away as an apology for their system getting hacked. I'm just a fan of this style of open world, superhero, building hopping, fight fest. Reminds me of Crackdown or that Hulk Ultimate Destruction on Xbox.
A couple games I really wanted to get but didn't because they were asking $20 for them: Blur, COD Black Ops II, and Orange Box. I like to spend not more than $20 total on three games. That's what I always used to do on this buy-2-get-1 sale at Gamestop. I'm not changing it now.
I've never played Enemy Within because I still haven't been able to beat the first vanilla game. I've tried on Xbox, on iPad, and now sometimes I play the sequel. But never played Enemy Within. You can get it on iOS too, so eventually I'll play on my ipad. Love Xcom type games.
I love the games, just am terrible at getting anywhere in them. I need to look up some dumb cheat. Also, a lot of times I don't want to follow the forumla for success in these games. I just like the simulation aspect of them and make up my own, usually disasterous, strategies.
Hey Call of Juarez. I also played the first two but I never tried the third. I think with the 2nd one I got tired of the franchise. Still some fun gaming.
I forgot there was an inFamous 2 but I probably own a copy. The franchise as a whole was a lot of fun because it was kind of like a dark superhero game.
I lost it in the second Call of Juarez. There was some mission at a farm that I kept failing. I'd like to return to it sometime though.
Never did play inFamous even though I was keen to in order to have any exclusives for Playstation.
