Leveling Down

Spent some time bullying people around since I’ve got nothing to do

Quick thoughts due to the lack of a 360…

So I’ve been spending the most of my time playing Retro Game Challenge on the DS, and it’s pretty fun. I’ve finally unlocked the RPG, so I’m looking forward to playing through that. The nice thing about the challenges in each individual game (which you need to finish to unlock new games) is the fact that very few of them involve completing the game, so the process doesn’t get tedious. I’ve played through six of the games, and since I don’t have too much to write about, I figured I’d write my thoughts on each one. Check them out plus some thoughts on Bully for Wii after the jump.

I was getting worried that with Circuit City gone, Amazon wouldn’t be price matching much. But with Newegg going crazy with the deals, Amazon is practically matching every deal, so we consumers totally benefit. Of course, Newegg has some great deals that even Amazon can’t match this week…
