  Games to get on Black Friday

  What's better than having a huge collection of games? Having money to buy more! Yes!

  This is usually that time of the year where I usually go crazy and buy games I've been holding out on the for the last couple of months.The whole rule is: "If it's not on sale, don't buy it."

  That being said. Here is my Black Friday Wish list:

  • Grimgrimoire (PS2)
  • The Red Star (PS2)
  • MGS4: Limited Edition (PS3)
  • A Boy and his Blob (Wii)
  • Muramasa (Wii)
  • New Super Mario Bros. (Wii)
  • Resident Evil Darkside Chronicles (Wii)
  • FarCry 2 (PC)
  • Crysis Maximum Edition (PC)
  • COD4 (PC) - I'm sure this will be on sale
  • COD MW2 (PC)
  • Tales of Vesperia (360)
  • Forza 3 (360)
  • Lego Rock Band (360)
  • Assassin's Creed 2 (360)
  • Halo 3: ODST (360)
  • GTA4: Ballad of Gay Tony (360)
  • Demon Souls (PS3)
  • Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 (PS3)
  • Knights in the Nightmare (DS)
  • Devil Survivor (DS)

  Recently, I picked up Uncharted 2 (PS3) and Modern Warfare 2 (360). It's seldom that I buy games on its debut but I couldn't wait for those.

  Anyone want to suggest some other ones that are not on this list?

  After all these years I finally have Radiant Silvergun

  ...and I got it for a nice price of $30 - complete. Pretty nuts considering how much this thing goes for on eBay. Some dude definitely did not know what he had in the fleamarket.

  After 25 years of collecting games...

  I've finally hit the 400 games mark. Yay me. A game a month. Not too shabby. Plus, I don't litter my collection with garbage. I like the good stuff. There are a few guilty ones in there but it's mostly because I'm obsessed in completing a series of games.

  Sadly, I haven't beaten most of them. I keep having this notion that one day I'll just retire and finish them all. It's a bit tough when you have a family and it just looks like I'm playing less and less. However, I love collecting games. I don't know what it is about having a crapload of games on my shelf. There are quite a number of them that are sealed and never opened. One time, I sold one of those games and it hit about $150 bucks. Not bad. It's a huge difference from getting shafted by GameStuck when they pay you less than 1/3 the price for some of the more recent games.

  Alot going on.
