I don't think I have any American friends who read this and have a GameCube, but Toys R Us is having a "buy 2 get 1 free" sale for most of their games. ;_; Seems to be only available in the States, too. Bwah.

Anyhow... EGM had an article last month about showing some young kids (10-to-12-year olds) the games that we used to play when we were young. Games like Pong, Donkey Kong, and stuff like that. It's disturbing. Sit me in front of these games, and I'd love it. Nostalgia, here I come!

This is also saddening, that kids can't see the fun in the games, they need all the flashy graphics and funky ideas and freakin' BOMBS in TETRIS. >o<

(Then again, making the long "Tetris" block red might make the kids think they're dynamite sticks or something... and who says video games make people violent? When I see a kid bludgeoning another kid in the playground with one of the Tetris "S" shapes, then I'll consider it violent...)

i very very much want a ps2. i think that's what we decided our christmas present to each other would be. we'd just buy a ps2 and be like :O when we unwrapped it. i really want the final fantasy games, ico, kingdom hearts, and a few million others...

You've got a good selection of games, there ^_^

I'd recommend Animal Crossing, but you both might get a little addicted to it. :P

Oh, and Eternal Darkness to get the begeebus scared outta ya. ;)

Tetris with Bombs = Bombliss. It's on the old Tetris compilations (a few of them) on the SNES.
