I don't have a wii-u or smash bros or anything, but I'm considering picking up this just for figure. I think it looks pretty great, especially since it's so cheap. I'm not a big figure guy (only have leorio from hunter x hunter -- and that was a gift) but I don't know... I just like this and kinda want it :P

Being able to play Liberation on a big screen, on the disc itself, makes this one worth it. Otherwise you'd either have to download it or you'd have to opt for the Vita version (and as much as I love the Vita, I prefer my AC games in HD with no touchscreen controls).
Nice finally getting to play the game. It's slightly lower-end than other AC games; same basic engine as ACIII, far as I can tell, but the rendering work is a little more mannequin-ish. Still, the open city seems pretty lively so far, and the gameplay is all good. Supposedly this one links to ACIII in a similar way to how Rogue links to Unity, so I'm looking forward to finally going through the whole thing.

EDIT: This just came in the mail (awfully quick, since Amazon actually had it's release date listed as today). The Dunwall Archives:

Such an amazing little release, this one is. I remember thinking while playing through Dishonored "how cool would it be if they compiled all of the 'lore' documents from throughout the game into their own book?"
Well, here it is. Doubles as a lore compilation and an artbook, and it's all treated as if it were something actually published in the game world itself. Amazing little companion piece.
The only problems with it are that there's no table of contents (really odd omission), and any documents from the game which had multiple parts to them (such as "A Gaffer's Tale," told in a number of volumes) are split up throughout the book. Presumably they did this to match the general pace at which you would have found them while playing the game, but I think it would have made more sense to have kept pieces like that back-to-back in the book.
Either way, it's still just a phenomenal little release.

Putting these away until Christmas. ;-)

Shining Force 3 is so damn expensive normally, like £160+ but I got it for half the price it normally is! GameCube version of TP is also normally really expensive (in the range of £70-£100+) but got that for a decent price too.

I hope they make an oldschool Fox figure at some point and don't just stick with the Star Fox Assault renditions. I hope that look isn't meant to be the new "canon".

Haven't bought a game in like forever and at $3.74 we're talking cheap bastard territory here. About time I got this sucker. :lol:

Time to gloat part 2:

Super Mario Galaxy for Wii brand new still sealed for £1. But really, that's small compared to these for me:

Mega Man Legends 2 (PSX) for £15 (w/ no instructions) and Misadventures of Tron Bonne (disc only) for £30. Even disc only Tron Bonne goes for £80+ on eBay now, let alone the complete versions which are reaching Suikoden II/Shining Force 3 levels of "wow that's expensive"...it's really shot up in price the past couple of years, especially thanks to Capcom pretty much cancelling the entire Mega Man/Rockman series [like so many of their other IPs...jeez they suck so much now].

Still, doing really well with my buys leading up to Christmas, it's going to be great to finally play all of these old relics, I'm not getting these just to collect and put away to never play them as a way to hoard, but these are rarities that I really want to play, like Shining Force 3 was another one that had eluded me for years and was one of the main reasons for me getting a Saturn. I cannot emphasise how happy I am that I've gotten these games now.

And to be honest, I've pretty much gotten all of the rarities in the gaming sphere that I want now, the only ones left are Panzer Dragoon Saga and Snatcher (duh!) and I can get those after I've finished these other super rare/expensive games and sell them off at a premium price. \:D/
