To The Moon And Back

This is the most popular topic in twitter now - video games. At least, within my contact list. Everyone seems to want to buy PSP for their husbands (lucky men!) and in order to justify the purchase; we all talked about our favorite video games.

I’ve already said several times how I’m not so crazy about video games but for the sake of making my husband happy, I’m more than willing to do my research. I went online to read on getting started in gaming and searched for PSP games as well:

* Daxter
* Burnout Legends
* Lumines
* Syphon Filter: Dark Mirror
* World Soccer Winning Eleven 9
* Wipeout Pure .
* SOCOM: U.S. Navy SEALs Fireteam Bravo
* FIFA 06
* MLB 06 The Show
* Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories

Now Lumines I can play but I don’t really care for the others on the list. Only when a friend told me that I can download the old time favorite video games did I manage to re-consider getting one. Some of the games that I can download are Mario Brothers 3, Adventure Island, The Sims, Mahjong, Bubbles, Collapse, and hundreds more. Of course, PSP is not just about games. The one thing that really convinced me to get one is the built-in WiFi. I’m a sucker for any gadget that has WiFi connectivity - my laptop, phone and now PSP. And did I mention that we can watch movies and listen to music too? Of course, we already have a portable DVD for that but you can never have enough gadget right?

I’ve never seen so many video games in my life until I visited GameStoreUsa. This site offers Xbox games, PS2 games, Wii games and more. You can choose from new games which are factory sealed or if you don’t mind buying used items, you can purchase used games - all buffed and resealed and still contains the case, original artwork and game manual. Just Search for any games that say Mint or Mint Sealed. Not all of these used games are cheap though because some of them are rare and more expensive than other brand new games.

Personally, I’m not crazy about video games but if ever someone will give me Xbox for free, I’d definitely buy the Karaoke Revolution game or Virtual Tennis. As for my daughter, I’m sure she’ll love some kiddie PS2 games like Dora saves the Mermaids, Nicktoons Attack of the Toybots, and Winnie the Pooh Rumbly Tumbly adventure. There’s no doubt on what kind of games my husband will buy. I’m sure he’ll go crazy when he sees that there are tons of cheap used racing games available. In fact, I might just go ahead and purchase two PS2 games as a belated father’s day gift.
