I went on a used game binge today and picked up a bunch of stuff. Spent $36 for the lot at various Gamestops. I love the occasional tour of local Gamestops despite having to put up with endless sales pitches for disc insurance, membership renewal, and preorders. I have to say, because of all their aggressive selling, I do this sort of thing much less often than I used to (hope you're listening GS executives). Here's what I got.
Rage [X360]: I always wanted to see what John Carmack's new ID Tech 5 engine could do. Plus I liked the demo.
Singularity [X360]: The last game Raven did before they started doing work on COD. Coming off of Wolfenstein, which I loved, I've always wanted to play this.
Operation Darkness [X360]: I didn't like the camera when I played the demo, but the basic gameplay made me think this was the Valkyria Chronicles for 360. Maybe it is. I want to find out.
Blue Dragon Plus [DS]: I got Blue Dragon on 360 just for getting the achievements, but I quickly fell in love with the game. It's a no brainer for me to go after this DS iteration.
Untold Legends: Brotherhood of the Blade [PSP]: I was surprised to find this at Gamestop since most of the stores have gotten rid of their PSP games, but I had to have the boxed copy in my collection over the digital version on PSN, because I have fond memories of playing this to completion with a friend over the PSP's WiFi network. It was Baldur's Gate Dark Alliance all over again.
Can you image what a crazy mash up all these games would make? I'm thinking of a very dark take on Skylanders featuring dragons throwing wingsticks and a time control mechanic.
Operation Darkness is a great game the cameras not as bad as they said it is, it gets hard toward im guessing the end since i haven't beat it but i had a blast with it and Rage is a good game i did really like this as well.
Cool. I want to like Operation Darkness.
Wingsticks! Fun word!
I remember when Rage came out, reviewers were saying the Wingsticks made the game too easy. That you could decapitate suckers at will. Sounds good to me.
LOL. I laughed at the title and remarked "John's playing too many games!" to Jason. Glad I was wrong and you just went on a spending spree.
Now I'm paying back the loan I took with myself. Luckily I don't charge any interest.
I first heard of Operation Darkness in the last couple years from an article on Hardcoregaming101. I'd love to play it 
Oh man, That article is good. I'm even more psyched to play it now.
