Latest Purchases

Heh, your review made me finally click the buy button. Helped that I found it for a good price.
As for JUS, eBay Mobile and the notifications function were a godsend for that. Some guy puts up a copy, I swoop in. Haven't seen it below £25 anywhere else.  It's just Radiant Historia and ToS: Dawn of the New World I'm aiming for now.

Lego Harry Potter 5 - 7 on Xbox! Great fun with the girlfriend

Silver chrome series 360 pad to go with the red one I bought a few months back. 35 from Sainsburys! 

James Bond Colection on DVD, i was going to get 007 Legends to celebrate 50 years of Bond but its shitty reviews have put me off...i was hoping it was going to be good darn it!

Also got; Smallville Series 10, UP, Wall-E, The Incredibles and the Lion King all on  Blu-Ray and all from Sainsburys online, 

Also purchased Kirby's Adventure Wii! Will have to give that a whirl at one point!

Really hope we get that pre-order bonus here in the UK too.

Went to Yo! Sushi for the first time yesterday, put down some decent money!!

Haven't bought much lately, some books for Uni annnnd tickets for this weekend's MCM Expo! I'll be there Saturday and Sunday!

Haven't bought anything off the Wii Shop channel for a looooooooooong time, so thought I'd buck the trend and use some Club Nintendo stars on a certain RPG;

Have only ever played the PSOne version, and have since heard that its the worst one for loading times etc, so I hope this represents the game's legacy better. ^^

You got a Vita for free? WAT. As much as I'm not really keen on getting a Vita (not many of the games interest me) if I was offered one for free, I would most certainly take it. xD

Yeah I was never too interested in getting a vita, but on phones4u.com they had some pretty good offers with free gifts like a ps3 or xbox360. So I thought I'd get the vita since I didn't have it xD
Forgot though I needed to buy a separate memory card since it doesn't come with one so I ordered one off shopto for a tenner.

My phone of about 4 years or so died today. Had a look around and managed to pick up a budget HTC.

My initial experiences with it are great, does everything I want it to do and more.

How do you like the Windows Phone experience?

A nice bonus is the ability to be able to access your Xbox Live account from the phone, using it to send messages to friends or earn achievements in certain games. I've also tested out the SmartGlass app, just to control my Xbox Dashboard. Pretty neat, though I wonder what other things you'll be able to do with it in the future.

Yet another arrow to add to my growing quiver of top Wii games. Saw it for a fiver in CEX and couldn't say no.

I love the clean look of the game; Wii titles with that kind of artistic direction translate well to HD tvs, and it should look even better going through the WiiU's HDMI cable.
Shame about the lack of voicework though; text is all well and good and the animation stops it from getting stale but some good voicework would have been icing on the cake.

Now I know how Samus feels. Please excuse the crappy picture.

I'm probably going to regret this, but my latest review has somewhat rekindled a little love for the franchise, so I'm diving in again!

Shoulda gone for the sequels instead better in every way.

Virtue's Last Reward [3DS]

PS. to all you 3DS gamers looking for something to try, this, the 999 sequel, is one of if not the best game on 3DS so far.
If you liked Ace Attorney, Ghost Trick or Layton even slightly, you'll love the hell out of this (and its prequel)

And that's me plugging the Zero Escape series again.
(I'm serious, it's cheap, buy it).
