  4 New Xbox 360 Games!

  Well, after making some money doing freelance graphic design jobs, I accumulated $65 in my PayPal account. Originally I was going to just have the money transferred to my bank for cash, but I decided to go fishing on eBay for some cheap games. Anyways, I went specifically for MLB 2K7. I played the MLB 2K8 demo and was horrified to see that it was crap. Well, not too horrified after reading some reviews, but I was hoping it wasn't that bad. It was.
  
  So I ended up winning an MLB 2K7 auction for $15.61 after shipping costs. I was happy, buying it at GameStop would have been $19.99 and then a few more dollars for the sales tax. I haven't gotten it yet, but it should be coming this week.
  
  Next I went for Need For Speed: Most Wanted. I wanted to get a more of a casual racing game (I have Forza 2 and PGR3) and I never got a chance to buy Most Wanted for the GameCube. I had NFSU2 and NFS Carbon, but never Most Wanted. I actually asked for this game for Christmas but my sister could not find it, I wasn't too surprised, it seems to be kind of rare (at least in the original cases, Platinum Hits cases... *pukes*). I won an auction for Most Wanted, it cost me $19.18. I'm cool with that. I should be getting this one in the mail tomorrow.
  
  The next two games were kind of on a whim. I went to the "Ending Soonest" sorting option for the Xbox 360 section and found GRAW for a cheap $5 or something. I put in my maximum bid of $7.01 and ended up winning for $6.01. After shipping it was a mere $11. I was really glad I went to check out the "Ending Soonest" auctions because I really feel like I snagged a deal. Like Most Wanted, I should be getting this game tomorrow.
  
  Now for the last game, I wanted something different than what I already have. My current collection contains mostly shooters, sports games, and racing games. I decided to go back to the early days of the Xbox 360 and find a game that would suit my collection, and that happened to be Kameo. I had been interested in Kameo in the past and I even downloaded the demo a while back. I actually didn't like the demo too much, but I didn't really give it the light of day to understand what I was supposed to be doing in the demo. Anyways, I found Kameo for $10.50 brand new and I won that auction ($15.50 after shipping). This was the last game I bought on eBay and it was the first one I received. Take in mind though, I bought one game Friday night and the rest over the weekend, so I wasn't expecting any games until today, and that's what I got.
  
  I've played Kameo for about an hour and fifteen minutes and I'm liking it so far. I can see a lot of parallels with Donkey Kong 64 (as I was hoping) and I think I'll end up enjoying the game a lot.
  
  I decided that whenever I get a freelancing job, I spend my money on games. eBay has been great so far and I think I'll be able to find some even better deals down the road!
