Hello again, my friends.

Let's get to all of the gaming goodness.

GLEN'S HTF GAMES OF THE WEEK

Call me a sucker, but this game actually looks pretty fun. The amount on online games that it has seems like a winner to me. Plus, being able to play a "Super Sprint" clone online sounds like a heck of a lot of fun.

Circuit City also has a deal where if you buy 2 Platinum Hits Xbox games, you get one Platinum Hit Xbox game free.

 

[Ben Seibert]

Didn't know Sonic Advance 2 came out this wekk, but since there are no deals I'll wait.

 

[Kenneth Cummings]

Sonic 2 and Megaman and Bass are winners for me, but I will wait until I get the GBA SP to buy both of them.

 

[Dah-Dee]

Saw Mad Catz Dream Pad controllers for Dreamcast, $2.99 at KBToys B&M; best Dreamcast controller IMHO. Yes, I've got the DC hooked up next to the Gamecube. Sega!

Game Express (gexpress.com) has Disney Sports Soccer for Gamecube for $19.50. Shockingly (as it's a Disney-licensed game), it's well done, a lot of fun!

 

[Peter D]

Sega Soccer Slam for the Xbox was also $15 at Target when I was there.

 

[JamesH]

I got Gungrave for $15 last week, I'd say it's worth the money. $5 for the awesome box art, $5 for the cool cut scenes, and $5 for the gameplay.

In fact, I'd say it's more than worth it, as out of the 80 or so next gen games I have, it definately has the coolest box.

 

[GlenHaag]

Could anyone pick up Soccer Slam for me? I'll pay for the shipping. They don't have it at either of the Target's here. I've been wanting to pick up the game for a while, and $15 is a great price. Too bad I can't find it.

BTW, finally picked up Turok for the Gamecube. $10 bucks seemed like the right price.

You still looking for this? I can check for it on my way home.

 

[GlenHaag]

Well, someone was looking for me Roger, but I haven't heard back from him yet.

I'm looking to get the Xbox version.

Thanks.
