The last game/game-related thing you bought

3D Streets Of Rage 2 on the eShop.

Today I got what I consider to be a pretty darn great deal. While I did enjoy playing EVO: Search for Eden earlier this year, the fact that the final boss is basically unbeatable due to a few flawed mechanics was very frustrating and unfortunately, diminished the game as a whole for me. On top of that, a few later bosses were also frustrating for the wrong reasons (challenge is fine, but challenge due to faulty mechanics...ehhh....). As I'm not a collector, I decided to see what our local retro game store would give me for it as I probably wouldn't be playing it again. I went in with the game...and walked out without the game and instead a used but well cared for 3DS XL Pokemon X and Y Red edition (and as I discovered later, a 4 gig SD card still in it), a charger, a nice case, Okamiden and Pokemon Alpha Sapphire (let it be known that the last time I played a Pokemon game was probably the original, on a friend's Game Boy for a few minutes way back in the 90s). However, as that store wasn't accepting more recent games, we then went to Gamestop where I know I can turn them in. I got more for what I had than I thought I would, enough to cut the price of the 3DS Smash Bros (new copy) in half. Setting up the 3DS gave me plenty to do this evening.

I also took advantage of some Steam discounts this week and got Payday 2 and all the Risen games.

I mentioned elsewhere that the Best Buy Black Friday in July sale was abysmal, but I did get one good gaming related deal from it: Borderlands 2 for $4.

If BL 2 is anything like the first, that is a GREAT deal. Did you get any of the DLC with it or the GOTY edition?

Nope, just the plain old game, sadly. I decided to get it even without any of that. I know the basic gameplay from watching Youtube videos a while back, so I have a good idea of what I'm getting into with this game. The deal would have been even better if it was the GOTY, but I honestly couldn't see myself being interested in most of the DLC that I'm aware of.

I've heard that the Tiny Tina expansion is the best. I've not played it myself, but I want to, and BL2 is one of the games I'll be playing for my thesis experiment on my PS3 and Steam (got it on a great sale). What platform did you get it on?

Got my Okami 3DS skin...and it's awesome.

I only have a 2DS so no skins for me ;_;

A shame, too; one of my friends promised she'd get me a Sailor Mercury 3DS skin if I ever got a 3DS.

I got the Shovel Knight amiibo

Pokemon Red on the eShop. My boyfriend got Pokemon Blue.
