Panzer Dragoon Zwei (Saturn) - $11 or so, disc only, from EBay. I finally caved and bought this game, which I think often goes for a bit more than I paid for it... only played a little so far, but, well, it's Panzer Dragoon, and thus it's amazing. Need more be said? It's a must-own, I'm very happy to have it!
Nightshade (PS2) - $4 -- Been thinking of getting this for a while, and it was cheap enough that I got it. I don't have that many 3d action games like this, actually... I played the first three levels. There's definitely some challenge here, particularly if you want a rating better than C (that's all I've gotten in the first three levels), but it's not impossible or something so far. Seems pretty fun, if with some sometimes iffy controls. I'll be playing this more.
Knights in the Nightmare (DS) - $25 -- We'll see if this was worth it... I know you won't find it for much less than that so it wasn't a bad deal, but I don't often spend that much on a single game anymore. It's been a while since the last time I spent that much on a game, I think... and the last game from this team was Yggdra Union, which was initially interesting but I ended up disliking because of the not very well told, overly depressing for no good reason, and very poorly explained story, as well as the deeply flawed gameplay that often made actually playing the game really, really frustrating. It looked awesome, but the gameplay and story... no. I loved Riviera, of course (the team's first game in this series that changes genres with each title), but considering my issues with Yggdra Union, we'll see whether this game was worth it or not... hopefully it is and I didn't waste my money.
