Thought I'd start the ball off on the modern gaming purchases. List what you have bought below, and if there is a bargain others may want to know!

I bought Tekken Dark Resurrection for PSP for £7 and two UMD Videos, Hitman Extreme Edition and Underworld Evolution for £3 each, all from HMV. They have a stack load of used PSP stuff at the minute, and pretty much everything is sub £10, the majority of it below a fiver. well worth checking out :).

Sweet pickups! Speaking of Tekken, I forgot to mention that I got Tekken 6 plus arcade stick for £40 from GAME. Might be worth taking a look in your local, I got the last one in Maidstone!

I bouht Beatles Rock Band for the PS3 yesterday for 9.99. Didn't really get it for the game though, it came with 2 SingStar microphones which I've never seen that cheap before. A good backup in case mine break :lol:

Recently I've bought Fallout 3 and Assassin's Creed for PC and Sonic Colours for DS. Fallout is great, if a little buggy, and I'm sure it's gonna take me an age to finish it. Sonic Colours has been a right blast! It's by far the best DS Sonic game IMO. My girlfriend has the Wii version so I'm looking forward to having a crack at that.

NFS: Hot Pursuit for 360.

Damn good game, possibly my game of the year in fact. Like Burnout and NFS of old rolled into 1.

Mind you, Pacman CE DX is awesome too!

It's excellent. The combat is great, the music is lovely and the story seems to be pretty good. It's not as good as Dragon Quest IX mind, but then again, not many RPGs as that good :D

Brilliant! Will probably put it on my Xmas list, but then again I've never got around to finishing Chrono Trigger on the DS lol.

My most recent purchases, but somehow I forgot to take a pic with GT5 in it.

And the latest issue on NGamer arrived after I took the pics.

Super Mario All-Stars for the Wii.

Wasn't going to bother but got it for a tenner from a guy on RG so thought why not. Also means I can preserve my SNES copy and play this one on my TV in the living room.

I don't really do current gen, but i had a look at Dragon Age Origins: Ultimate Edition on video review for PS3....got to say i thought it looked amazing, so for £17.99 from Amazon, i thought it was worth a gamble :)
