Ray - Paper Mario (VC)
This game is a classic N64 title that was released at the end of the systems lifecycle. Many people missed this game when it first came out. The game involved turn based combat with a mushroom kingdom flair. Many thought that it was a sequel to Super Mario RPG, but it was actually a separate series. I think you will enjoy this game thoroughly and you can download it on the Wii for only 1000 points. Download and enjoy!
Ron - Gamefly
If you want to play a lot of different games and not pay a lot, Gamefly is a great choice. I personally have a hard time justifying the $60 price tag on a lot of games, and have played a great amount of games through Gamefly over the last several years. Shipping times are very quick, and the games are usually in great condition. One bonus option is that if you want to purchase the game and keep it they will ship the boxart and manual out to you at no charge. Definitely a nice service for the ghetto gamer. Jared - Pikmin (GC)
OK now, you are looking for something that is different and will catch your attention? This game is great! As the first part of the series you really understand what is to take command of a bunch of small flower plants and attack bugs while trying to get the parts of your ship. You have a time limit to do it which is a downfall but adds alot of elements to the gameplay. With no time to waste you must lead your flowers to victory as Olimar. If you think you can handle it then you should definitely pick Pikmin up today and tear into it. Plus if I can dig it, then you can too!
Ducky - Eternal Darkness Sanity's Requiem (GC)
What is there to say about this game? If you haven't played it, GO...BUY IT NOW! It is simply amazing! There are two reasons I'm suggesting this game. The first is, it's tight...so tight! Not since Snatcher for the Sega Cd have I sat on the edge of my seat the whole time, ready for whatever might come my way! It's intense! And not the “Grandma might come home and catch me wacking its so I better hurry up and toss these cloth babies into the laundry.” No, this is the nail biting, pants sh*tting, mother of all scary even Satan had nightmares after viewing just ten minutes of this masterpiece type of awesomeness that only Silicon Knights can provide. What set's this game aside? It's not the Edgar Allen Poe inspired narrative, the spell making RPG element, or the violence -to quote Jigsaw “There will be blood.” All I have to say is...Sanity Effect! The ability to hallucinate will either pull you completely into this game, or at other times take you completely out. More than once I had a double take, or was completely freaked out, by the things that happened when the green runs out of your meter. The second reason is, this game is a testament to how awesome Too Human is going to be! So get that on your 360 on release day, and check out this title. Turn off the lights, pump up the Dolby Surround, and rock out to your nightmares come to life. For less than $20 you can't go wrong! Nuggets.
Jeremy - Raw Danger (PS2)
The follow-up to Disaster Report, which reportedly was a disaster but did have some interesting gameplay elements. It was just too overdhadowed by its flaws. Raw Danger boasts improvements all the way around. For $20 retail and $15 from Agetec's website, it's not a bad bet to see if there claims are true.
