KOF "2006" (MI2) is good. I've been playing quite a bit of it these past few days. I really am surprised at how good it is, really... sure, it has some flaws, but the core fighting game is very solid and well made. Up is jump and down duck, while you use a button for 3d movement, like many older 3d fighting games and unlike many of the more recent ones. This makes it feel more "2d" than many 3d fighting games, and more like traditional KOF, which is a good thing in my opinion because I love KOF. It's really very much KOF in 3d, done fairly well. It does have some problems, such as balance issues (some characters are just plain better!), but overall, it's good.
Anyway, today's new game. From ebay, for $7.89:

Dungeon Lords: Collector's Edition, complete in box in good condition. It comes complete with the box, manual, map, all three discs, and warranty card... and for cheap too. It's too bad that this game wasn't very popular, I actually like it, and have been kind of annoyed with myself for years for not buying it back when it came out -- I loved Wizards & Warriors, Heuristic Park's other game, so when this was announced I was pretty interested. While the game isn't the great game that W&W was, and is much simpler as well (Dungeon Lords is an action-RPG, not a more traditional one like W&W), I played some of the game and did think it was fun. Critical opinion disagreed, unfortunately, and Dungeon Lords got many poor reviews, and despite decent sales the expansion pack and sequel haven't happened and Heuristic Park may be out of business or something now (haven't heard anything from them in several years now). It's really too bad. Anyway, I just never quite got around to buying Dungeon Lords, despite repeatedly telling myself that I really should buy it... Well, I finally got myself to get it. I will definitely be playing this game. :)
