Shopping for PSP games is an exercise in pain.
My brothers were given the option last Christmas to buy into a handheld gaming system. Spence went with the DS and Taylor with the PSP. It's Tay's birthday today so...
Ever seen the PSP section in a video game store? It's almost always shoved into a tiny corner. And, when you find it, it's like the same five games on every shelf. I'm not sure if it's actually the same few games or if the covers all look the same. Also, the shelf life of these things isn't very long! If you're looking for a game from a year ago, kiss it good-bye.
But, you see, not EVERY game store has the same five games. They each have a different selection of five games. If the game you want isn't there, you have to go to the next one and search there. And then the next. And the next. Sorry, but our princess is in another castle.
Needless to say, I went through FOUR stores looking for something that my brother would enjoy. I finally broke down at Future Shop and grabbed that a game that I knew was decent and that I hoped he didn't have. Yay for present.
Tay is a mystery to me. Spence is easy to shop for and James is very simple minded. Tay, on the other hand, is pretty much all over the place. He's multisided and you worry that if you buy something, it won't clash with one side or the other. Guys, ugh.
I took Mike's advice and went up to 401 Games for my WoW TCG starter deck. Cost me less than $14 and I now have an Dwarf Warrior. I am the girliest tank in the land! 0_0
I actually got the Night Elf Hunter in one of the boosters and a lot of the gear cards from the warrior deck can be used with hunters, but I don't have any hunter ablities or ranged weapons. D: I did randomly get two pets, though.
I also got a voidwalker. It's so cute but serves me no purpose whatsoever. XP
