That's a better offer than two months - yes, thank you.

It actually wasn't that bad. It's a bit short. And it has online multiplayer, oddly.

Yeah. Send me your address. It'll take about two months though.

It wasn't that long!

<£5> for Loco Roco so I can check whether the UMD drive on my PSP actually works or not. As the battery life is pretty shite already when playing downloaded demos I've got a horrible feeling that I'll get about five minutes of actual playing time out of it when it's got a physical disc to spin up.

I haven’t bought any Xbox or iOS games this year so far. Doing quite well, I reckon, and there really isn’t anything on the horizon I’m looking forward to or even really aware of.

Jelly Defense <1.99> after seeing it on Rachs instagram feed. It's a lovely Tower Defence game.

<£0.76> on recently released and temporarily cheap Super Monkey Ball 2 for Android.

Edit: a purchase I'm now regretting because they've cunted up the controls for a game with the simplest control method in the world. Jesus fucking Christ Sega.

Bamba · **Joined:** 25th Jul, 2010 **Posts:** 11128

And now an extra <£5> on the new Indie Royale bundle. Mostly for DLC Quest which I played the demo for on the Xbox and was amused/entertained by but I also enjoyed Hard Reset and might give that a go at some point as well. This is a fucking ludicrous justification of course given that I could have got the Xbox version of DLC Quest for about 90p. *sigh* The sites I have in my RSS feed list are supposed to save me money but instead they keep drawing my attention to stuff I'd otherwise have been blissfully unaware of.

<£19.99> on Marvel vs Capcom 3. I love it, and I don't understand why I didn't get it earlier.

Is that the utterly ridiculous one we played at the cottage?

Yes. I love it to bits.

A few quid on a some PSP games having noticed that Gamestation had slashed their prices. So that's <£2.98> on LittleBigPlanet, <£1.98> on Tomb Raider: Legend and <£1.98> on Prince of Persia: Rival Swords.

Bobbyaro · **Joined:** 18th Apr, 2008 **Posts:** 11843

okay, so far this year:
bioshock 2 <4.99>
Dead Space 2<9.99>
Dark Souls <14.99> I think
Also <8.50> on MS points
and <6.99> for Metro 2033
Also (If I ever receive it) 5.99 for Fable 3.
So a total of ~50 quid for 5 games and 1000 points. Not bad really.

Edit, removed fable 3 as play are shit bags.

Gunstringer and Fruit Ninja Kinect (360) - <£7.16>

Because I said to wait for Ultimate MvC3?

I'll buy that too, at some point.

TheVision · **Posted:** Mon Mar 26, 2012 11:11

Just thought you might like to see my average gaming spend. My spreadsheet doesn't have the price of every game I've ever bought, but it does have all of 2010 onwards.

It's interesting as you can see that I don't like spending much on individual games.

Plissken · **Posted:** Mon Mar 26, 2012 18:10

That is the weirdest case of OCD that I have seen for a while.

<6.49> Humble Bundle for Android 2

I got that yesterday (it's free on Android, though).

I thought it was a bit meh after a while. Seems too random.

I really didn't enjoy the original one at all and barely played it but the addition of the space physics makes the new really good fun I felt. Setting up chain reactions of objects to drift a pig into the gravity well of a nearby planet and watching it accelerate to it's death on the surface is surpisingly satisfying.

Cardfighters Clash (Capcom Version) for the Neo Geo Pocket Color - <14.99>

Played it before and I've got the SNK version already but I fancied running through it again.

TheVision · **Posted:** Fri Mar 30, 2012 22:51

I got quite distressed today when I realised that a game I own was missing off my spreadsheet. I don't think I'll be able to sleep tonight thinking about it.
