final fantasy 12
DBZ:Burst Limit
Magna Carta 2 (god this game was such a clusterfuck)
A Boy and His Blob
Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles [the one for the wii] (it was fun but the gameplay pretty much eliminates any replayability.)

I'm sure there are more, I can't think of them right now though.

Final Fantasy 13 - shit game in comparison to the rest of the series.
L.A Noire - Overhyped, repetitive as fuck.
MVC3 - I never got into it like I did MVC2 and SSF4, haven't touched it since March(?)
3DS - I haven't touched it since I beat Ocarina of Time for the billionth time in my life.

This is pretty true.  I typically feel bad for paying full price for a game when I know it'll just drop in price in a couple of weeks to months. :'(

seriously what that game is fun as hell and probably one of my favorite ps3 games. I'm guessing my sound system helps because holy shit I love blasting the volume on this game.

And I bought mine with a gift card, I picked Super Stardust (boring) and Infamous (fine) as my free games. Dead Nation looks pretty lame and my uncle lives next door and has both LBP games if I want to play them.

it's just too much of another typical racer for me :'(

yeah the vehicles fly and it's futuristic and whatever but those are superficial differences :'(

The only racing series I've ever liked is Mario Kart. >.<

besides being futuristic the style is still fairly unique, and i don't think the flying thing really matters much at all.
the races get fast as hell and i guess in some ways in like f-zero, but you actually have to make tight turns and whatnot in this game, plus weapons and such.
there's also brand loyalty (wooo Icaras) and again, THE MUSIC.
There's more modes than just racing and time trials as well, there's the elimination mode, the demolition-style mode, and the one where the whole game looks like tron and it just gets faster and faster until you die (EQUALIZER ON THE FLOOR AWESOME) and then that mode that's kind of the same as that but with obstacles you have to shoot, and then there's also that mode but against other people to get to the fastest level, etc etc

I'll give it another shot, but I'm not really a big fan of top-down shooters in the first place.

I'm not used to thinking this way because I've until very recently stuck with just Nintendo, who leaves games at full price for years goowan

I believe every PS2 game I have was bought used at Gamestop in the past two years or so. For PS3, I bought just one game at full price: Portal 2.
Considering I got it like two months after launch, I probably was barely too early to get the price drop

i managed to get Portal 2 discounted because of a special "buy anything by EA with a rewards card and you'll get $10 off" or something thingy that Gamestop had going on at the time, and i happened to be with my friend who had a rewards card

it's applicable to Portal 2 because EA distributes the game for Valve, apparently, even though (thankfully) the EA logo is nowhere to be seen on/in the game

yeah pretty much

they can't make any games themselves, but since they're good at marketing and distribution, they feel the need to charge extra for shit and plaster their name all over everything they publish for real developers

thank god portal 2 did not get that treatment
