These first three I got today, $10 for all three games.
DS
--
Hot Wheels: Track Attack - Racing game of course, from a developer who made a few racing games that didn't get great reviews but I like, such as the DS/Wii Trackmania games and NFS: The Run's Wii/3DS version.
Space Bust-A-Move - The second DS BAM game, I've really wanted this one but never had seen it cheap... it's great to finally have a copy!
GBA
--
Gumby vs. the Astrobots - An average-looking licensed platformer starring that popular '80s cartoon character Gumby. I needed something else for the 3-for-10, so I got this because Gumby was a kind of weird thing and the game has some nice visuals. Oddly enough, this is the only Gumby game ever made...
Additionally, for $3 I got a PS3 Blu-Ray remote. I actually like that X360 remote I got not too long ago and use it often for things like Youtube (as well as DVDs), so I'd been thinking about the PS3 one, which should be better than a controller in movies and the like. I'm not paying the $10 to $13 other stores like Gamestop want for these things, but I found this one at a local pawnshop for $3, and that's the kind of price this is probably worth! This one is the model which supports TVs as well as your PS3, so you can change the channel, turn the TV on and off, and the like with this remote; there is also another model only for PS3 Blu-Ray stuff, but this is better. It's not nearly as slick-looking as that X360 remote is, but it should work.
PC DD - Got on sale on Steam yesterday

Shmups Skill Test - $3.99 - As the title suggests, this is, well, a shmups skills test game. It's from the same developer as Minus Zero, Trizeal, Deltazeal, etc.
MINUS ZERO - $1.49 - This is a basic shmup with only a targetting-laser weapon. Looks cool.
Phantom Breaker: Battle Grounds - $2.39 - A pixel-art beat 'em up from Japan. Looks fun.
Phantom Breaker: Battle Grounds - Kurisu Makise Character Pack - $1.19
Nintendo 3DS DD (eShop)

SpeedX 3D: Hyper Edition - $1, on sale - This is the second version of a game where you go really fast down a tubular track, trying to avoid objects and get as far as you can. Originally a mobile game, this version is 3DS-only. The first 3DS version apparently has more features than this one, and it's on sale too (for $2, so you do pay less for this feature-lighter release), but on the other hand it also apparently has a better framerate and sense of speed, and the new Hyper button the title refers to, so there are some new things as well. Specifically the first version has some difficulty choices, but this has only one mode to play. It's fast, fun, is 3d, and runs great though, so that's okay. I like this kind of game, so sure, it's worth a dollar.
