Used and more then 3 months old. About on par with the average thing one is able to get from blockbuster because nobody is rushing to get it then so you're able to.

Eh. Blockbuster ain't bad when it comes to renting new games to see if they're worth it or not.

I can never get a new game at BB. They're always sold out.

There's a horribly perverted joke in there somewhere...
Mrs. Limburger : Crashing, and banging, all kinds of weird noises. Howling, moaning, frightful grunting, things falling out of closets, all over the place!

Quite.

In other gaming news from the Belmont front, Soul Blazer is a very good, and very under-appreciated game. I liked it better than FFVI. Better background animation (some fucking GROUND-BREAKING stuff there) and quite possibly better music. More entertaining, more challenging, FAR less repetitive game-play...
then again it's an action-rpg...

You really should give it a go. After the first hour it's pure joy.
Sure, it doesn't have a complicated story like FFVI
basically it's : You're a homunculous and avatar of "the master". Go destroy warped spirits to free the pure spirits imprisoned within. The world's on the brink of ruin and needs to be rejuvenated in this manner, due to humans summoning the "king of evil" (you know how Enix is) Death-toll.

But sometimes simple is good... There's a bit more to the story, and I prefer it over FFVI because FFVI the most depressing RPG in exsistance. FFVI, the game where no matter how good you are, no matter how much you level up, just about everyone dies for no real reason and the world gets destroyed anyway.

...yeah.

And odd quirk of the game is that just about everything's alive, and since you're basically the messiah you can talk to everything. Including doors, forrest animals, chests of drawers, house-cats and tulips. Takes some getting used to, but is ocassionally pretty funny.

Yes. They can even dream.

Oh, that's another cool thing about the game... you get the "dream rod" very early on, whenever someone's asleep you equip it, "talk" to the person and you get to go inside their dream. Sometimes this results in plot, fore-shadowing, getting a rare item, or unlocking a new area.

Personally, I thought the talking rafts were funnier.

RTM-- really? That makes me sad. I hated illusion of Gaia. It didn't make any damn sense! even with, by all counts, being 85% through Soul Blazer, remembering what I do of Illusion of Gaia makes me shudder. But if you say it's good I'll try again...though I remember it being damn boring.

Jewthulu-- Heh, yeah. Here's a thought: have you seen the controller design for the revoloution? I think the reason why it's got a grip is because they incorporated the zapper.
/obvious,
I know, but I haven't seen anyone else mention it.

IoG's ending sucked. Otherwise I remember it being quite fun.

((I MIGHT have one of those too, but with the way the government is these days I fear saying anything about illegality in a place they may hear!))
