I got Battlecorps. First impressions: "Mechs! Cool!" Good music too. Got to love those oldschool games though, you get three lives, one continue, and 13 levels... and run out of lives and it's back to the beginning. :)
... I also got Koudelka for PSX... ($5 for each of the two) they also had FFVII, but that was $10, and just like all the times I saw the PC version years back, I convinced myself out of getting it without much trouble... the fact that I only had $15 in cash and would have had to use debit when I didn't really want to was an added reason, but "I really don't need another PSX RPG I won't play anytime soon" sure was part of it too... :)
I mean, I have Persona 2 (good but it's got a few annoying flaws like "run in circles to level" and I have some issues with the plot presentation... still worth having though...), Grandia (Zzzz), Final Fantasy Tactics (I got it more to have than anything else, I don't have the time for this game right now...), Alundra 2 (decent but ultimately dull), Star Ocean: The Second Story, and now Koudelka (Survival horror RPG, really... the RPG combat is not as scary as a Resident Evil, but its fun anyway... decent plot and a nice battle system. You move around and stuff, I always prefer that to "two lines stand there and hit eachother"...), and the only one I'm even 10 hours into is Star Ocean (which is the best of them, of course, which is why I'm farthest in it... reached disc 2 recently. Awesome game...)...
Oh yeah, and Yoshi's Island is good, but not quite as good as Super Mario World I'd say. Now if I can only find some of the Kirby games... :)
