SHINING FORCE II! The greatest Genesis Strategy RPG Ever? I'd say yes! I still, to this day, want to see all the parts of Shining Force III translated... T_T

WTF? I've had The Dog Island for, like, three months now. The one by Ubisoft, right? Is there some sort of special edition?

Where is Sam and Max!?

When I pre-ordered at Game Stop, the clerk told me to come back the evening of October 6th.

Telltale stated October 7th:

But the Game Stop site now says shipping October 14th:

And the side bar here at amazon.com state October 16th.

When am I finally going to be able to walk over to the Game Stop and pick-up this game?

HOLD IT!

Dog Island and Nitrobike are already on clearance... :/

Pudge @ Oct 6th 2008 12:54PM

They're still making Army Man games? WHO BUYS THESE THINGS!!!

Protospasm @ Oct 6th 2008 2:34PM

No shit? I loved Mario Golf.
*sigh*
I hate when I have 200 left over Wii points, but don't want to go buy 2000 more for a 1000 pts game. :(

I was thinking of getting Breath of Fire II is Shining Force II better??

And does anyone know if Midnight Bowling is better than Wii Sport? I can't imagine that would be the case.

...Wii Bowling is the greatest thing that ever happened to video games and beer.
