Ok, I understand you're all sleeping and such, but you only have ummm...... say, 8 hours (give or take) to make my mind up for me.
I am taking a trip into the town on the morrow, were I intend to make a gaming purchase; it is up to you fine folk to decide how my money would be best spent.

Do I buy:

A) Maximo - its brand new, it looks tasty, but is it frighteningly linear?

B) Herdy Gerdy - also pretty new, looks purdy, alledgedly plays v. well.... but looks like Disney.

C) State of Emergency - as Goaty will tell you, its not GTA3, which is good, 'cause i've got that already.

D) Pro Evo - superb game, but not as yet part of my collection, could probably get it cheap too!

E) A spare copy of MGS2 to go with my GAD prize one, much like vienetta, one copy is never enough! Is it?

F) Bully's special prize - could be anything from a trip to the Swiss alps to a potato, but there in lies the fun.



Stop sleeping and get deciding! You lazy, lazy people!

I bought FF VI on the way home from work tonight.

I've only ever seen my mate play FF VII, and I thought that looked boring as hell. But I thought I'd give it a go, especially as it's only a tenner.

Regardless of what I am the Tarrant bought in the end, I actually ended up getting FFVI including the FFX demo.

And a potato.

GUESS WHICH ONE I'LL BE PLAYING THE MOST WITH FOR THE NEXT 50 HOURS AND WIN A POTATO!!!

Don`t buy Maximo. Its quite hard, and you`d find it too difficult/

B) Herdy Gerdy - also pretty new, looks purdy, alledgedly plays v. well.... but looks like Disney.

Don`t buy Herdy Gerdy, the content is probably too mature for you.

C) State of Emergency - as Goaty will tell you, its not GTA3, which is good, 'cause i've got that already.

Its GTA3, you just got confused with your negatives.

D) Pro Evo - superb game, but not as yet part of my collection, could probably get it cheap too!

Pro Evo has rules. You wouldn`t be able to stick to them. Its too much for you.

E) A spare copy of MGS2 to go with my GAD prize one, much like vienetta, one copy is never enough! Is it?

Yes, this is the best choice. That way when you lose/break your first copy, you`ll have a spare.

F) Bully's special prize - could be anything from a trip to
> the Swiss alps to a potato, but there in lies the fun.

Its not quite so much fun when we all know that all you really want is a potato.

Also, another thing to mention. I`m in a very serious mood today.

Hmmm.... You have a point there. Maximo is updated Ghouls 'n' Ghosts, so in theory its already supreme. Especially if they've done it properly (as in Mario rather than Frogger, you know what I mean)

Further thought may be required afterall...

... to the shops Batman!

Personally I'd get Maximo and FF6. Pro Evo will probably be in the Platinum Range next time around so I'll hold out for 6 months and grab it for £19.99 later on.

Herdy Gerdy is also on my list of games to buy, but budget dictates on this one, and Maximo is alleged to be able to bring me back to my arcade days so it's a priority.
