So Gamestop is having a Thanksgiving buy 2 get 1 free sale, from today to Sunday, so... I got a lot of stuff. This should be it for a while though, for Gamestop stuff anyway, because I got most of the games I'm the most interested in that I saw. There are always more, but not stuff I really need...
Xbox 360
--
Devil May Cry HD Collection - free in a B2G1, complete (would have been $11.70) - I've actually never played any of these games. Doubt I'll love it, but who knows.
Lollipop Chainsaw - $11.70, complete
Earth Defense Force 2025 - free in a B2G1, complete (would have been $13.50) - Some people really like this series, and this is one of the better ones, so I picked it up.
Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII - $13.50, complete - I've wanted to have the last title in this trilogy for some time now, so now I do.
PS3
--
Aegis of Earth - free from a B2G1, complete (would have been $18) - A Japanese strategy game thing.
Atelier Ayesha: Alchemist of Dusk - $18, complete - This series of crafting-heavy JRPGs is something I don't think I like much at all, conceptually, but I've never really given one a chance, and there are six for the PS3 (with US releases) so I decided to get one. This game is the first game in the second PS3 trilogy.
LittleBigPlanet Karting - free from a B2G1, complete (would have been $9) - This team's second attempt at kart racing is hopefully better than the first one? (Which I got for PSP)
Tales of Graces f - $18, complete - This is a port of a Japan-only Wii game, so visually it doesn't match up to the other PS3 Tales games, but it's a bit harder to find than the others, so I'm happy to find it! I wish we'd gotten the Wii version here, but this adds a lot to the original, so ah well.
Uncharted 2: Among Thieves - Game of the Year Edition - $1.80, complete - This is one of several games I got today that Gamestop has raised the price on, but some of the local stores hadn't done their price changes, so I got it for this low price. This is a good deal for under $2.

MySims Kingdom - $4.50, complete - This probably won't be worth it, but it's supposed to be much better than the (bad) DS one, so... got it anyway. Plus the "kingdom" theme is something hard for me to resist... :p
Adventures of Tintin - free in a B2G1, complete (would have been $4.50) - I really like Tintin and own almost all of the comics (and have since I was a kid), and liked the movie this game is based on, so I convinced myself to get this despite it surely being average at best. It's a 2.5d platformer.
Jewel Quest Trilogy - complete, $1.80 - Three games on one disc - Match 3, Shanghai ("Mahjong" as these things always wrongly call it), and a Hidden Object game.
CID the Dummy - complete, $4.50 - A 3d platformer. Probably will be fun.
MySims Racing - free in a B2G1, complete (would have been $1.80) - EA's budget Mario Kart knockoff.
Mountain Sports - free in a B2G1, complete (would have been $1.80) - Winter sports minigame collection, with Motion+ and Balance Board support.
WordJong Party - $1, complete - Like Shanghai but you're making words.

Reversal Challenge - $1.80, card only - It's a cheap DS puzzle game! These are often fun. I did see several other (more expensive) DS games I want, but ended up passing on those... I don't know, I got newer stuff instead. Glad I got this though.
3DS
--
Fire Emblem Fates: Conquest - $34.20, complete - ... I wasn't going to get this, because I stopped in Awakening some weeks back and haven't gone back yet and because, well, I have FE Awakening but not either 3DS Kirby game and I really want them, but they had this and I wanted strategy games, so I ended up picking this up anyway. (The stores I went to didn't have any used copies of Birthright, so I got this. Story-wise that sounds better, but this has better boxart, so I'll go with this. You have to buy one then get the other and the third chapter as DLC to play the whole game anyway, so it doesn't really matter which you get physical...)
Code of Princess - $13.50, card only - A beat 'em up.
Moshi Monsters: Katsuma Unleashed - free in a B2G1, complete (would have been $2.70) - Yes it's a licensed platformer, but it's cheap and could be amusing, so I got it.
Disney Epic Mickey: Power of Illusion - $9, complete - I've heard this game is quite short, but hopefully it's good while it lasts. Visuals look nice for sure.
