Unlikely Bargain

Well today I was out be dragged around looking for a suit for a wedding. As usual I just got the first thing that I tried on and it does the job but that's not what I am here for.

I was looking for a few games to add to my collection. I have not tried the Castlevania series yet but I have seen it get a lot of praise. So I was on the look out for a couple of them but only the sidescrollers (seriously, people underestimate sidescrollers).
Firstly DX Chronicles on the PSP which has a couple of games on it. The main one a remake in amazing 2.5D (that is essentially a 2D platform done with 3D elements). The other one is an enhanced port. There is also the original game that was remade to unlock. Pretty dam good if you ask me!
Yeah well it is nowhere to be found on the high street. Don't know why! It is barely a year old but I guess PSP games are not hugely popular. Oh well that is another online purchase!

There was another Castlevania game that caught my interest. Order of Ecclesia on the DS! There are three of them on the DS so far but this one apparently has improved upon the last two somewhat with new systems etc. Anyway the DS games seem outside the main plot or sort of filler for it so I won't be rushing to get the other ones unless it really wows me.
The only problem is it is a fairly new game here and that means money! Yeah I might not rush for that one quite yet either.
Yeah, yeah I am being stingy! But I am not paying full price! Especially for a third party DS game. Even if it is an awesome game it's gonna hang around and drop in price!

Anyway two dead ends for me! So there were two other games for the Wii that I wanted but these are new/newish and I was not expecting to get them. First off Little King's Story. Just out £35. Not gonna get it. Secondly Zak and Wiki. This was not in Game or Gamestation but HMV of all places! They had quite a few copies actually and for £15! That is a definite buy for me! Also they had Little King's Story and a tenner less than everywhere else! So I bought both at £40. Not bad as I was expecting to part with a lot more and the games are great so far! Although they are both quite childish.

Anyway, HMV! Good for games now as well!
