For the past seven or so years, I have been saving the points under the caps of Coca-Cola beverages to use with their My Coke Rewards program. Initially I started saving the codes because I saw that there were some Wii games available and thought, “I drink enough pop, I can start saving!” So after several years of saving points I managed to garner enough points to purchase some SkullCandy ear buds, a few gift cards for flowers to give to my girlfriend, plenty of free photographs, and, most recently, a GameStop gift card! I don’t know why, but I’ve been itching to spend my money lately (Perhaps because with my new job I’m making more money than I ever have before). So with a fresh $20 gift card in my hand, I went shopping.

Unfortunately I think DS games are on the way out of GameStop. Well, at least housing them in the store complete with boxes, manuals, and anything else they originally came with. I found this game with probably 100 others at the checkout counter inside some old CD slip cases. There were some good games included in there, and I decided to give this one a try. I mean, the price wasn’t an issue, and the reviews are good. |

This game has been on my radar for some time now and this week I finally bit. Drawn to Life originally started out on the DS, created by 5th Cell, the same team that created the Scribblenauts series (which I think is great!). Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter is the sequel to the original game, and much like I discovered with Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands two weeks ago, The Next Chapter differs between the DS and Wii version. The DS version is created by 5th Cell and features a different story than the Wii version, while the Wii version isn’t made by 5th Cell and is considered to be the lesser of the two. The more you know! |

Speak of the devil, another version of Forgotten Sands! I really am intrigued by the different platforms’ games being totally different from each other. The Wii version here is still a 3D action game, but features a new storyline, new weapons/powers, and even multiplayer (to an extent). Now I just need to hunt down the DS version (which I know I’ve seen before) and the PSP version (which will likely be a hard copy to find). |

The sequel to the PS3’s biggest launch title, Resistance 2 was part of a 50% off sale when I visited this store. At just $2.50 I decided I should own the trilogy of Resistance games. I already own a copy of the first game (still wrapped, actually), and the third game was also on the 50% off sale, but I decided to wait on it because it was still going to be $7. My thinking was it’ll be around for a long time, seeing as the Resistance series is one of the biggest on the PS3. Time will tell if my hypothesis was correct. |
