… but I should have some new reviews coming up soon. The reason my time away from posting has been good however – I have a slew of new games I’ve gotten my mitts on recently (Record of Agarest war – a turn based strategy game, the new Transformers: War for Cybertron, NCAA Football 2011 and Lego Harry Potter). I’m also headed to Gamestop a bit later to burn through a giftcard I got – and they have a pretty good deal going right now – buy 2 used games/accessories and get a 3rd one of equal or lesser value free. That deal ends today however. They’ve got another as well where if you trade in any 3 games from Wii, PSP, PS3, 360 or DS – as long as the trade-in value exceeds $1, you’ll get a bonus $10. So armed with a trio of beaten games and a giftcard, I’ll probably pick up a few older games today as well.
Last up, IGN is running a promotion with Microsoft to give away 20 free copies of some of the new Xbox 360 live arcade games here. Might be worth a peek – I entered, and they are doing a new one every week for the next few weeks. Check it out – and I’ll be tossing up some new review shortly.

Updated to add: not bad – I snagged Super Mario Party 8, Red Steel 2 and Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn from GameStop and I was out .78 cents after trade-ins and my gift card and weekly deals. I’ve been looking for Fire Emblem for awhile (I’m a sucker for strategy games) – but the disc does look a -bit- rough. Going to have to test it and make sure it works. It’s the only copy I’ve seen used at any of the GameStops around here though over the last year of looking. Hopefully this means some new reviews soon though. Anyone played any of those 3 games or the other 4 I’ve recently acquired?
Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn
Red Steel 2
Mario Party 8
Record of Agarest Wars
Transformers: War for Cybertron
Lego Harry Potter
NCAA Football 2011
Curious what your thoughts on them are, if so.
