I've played A.R.E.S. and while the setting is somewhat similar, it's much more of a slow platformer rather than a fast, action-packed title like one of the Zero games. I've looked for a while now and it's a shame that I haven't found anything that remotely resembles any Mega Man Zero game in terms of gameplay or setting. I guess Mega Man Zero hits such a perfect balance in speedy action where few other games have even attempted to venture into that type of gameplay.

I'm finally going to get Megaman 9. It's a shame it's taken me this long to purchase my favorite Megaman game. How are the controls to anyone who played it with a 360 controller? The analogue stick work nice and responsively? I can't wait to finally play it. Anyways, the help I really need is after getti hat game I'll have points left over. So should I get Super Meat Boy or Megaman 10?

I found MM10 pretty disappointing. As for Super Meatboy, play the demo at least. It's a pretty good one that shows off different elements of the game. There's also a demo for Mega Man 9 (and literally every other XBLA game) so you can see how it feels before you decide whether or not to buy it.

Well, loving Megaman 9 right now. The controls are still solid too, that's great. I mostly hear Megaman 10 is a bit dissapointing compared to 9. And I loved the demo for Super Meat Boy. Turns out it's 1200 points though. Should I wait for a sale or get Sonic CD? Or Bomberman Live. I've played the demo for hours with my brother.

Do you have Portal: Still Alive, or Battlefield 1943? I don't know how you feel about first person games, but I really enjoyed these two (especially Portal).

How much is portal on XBLA? I may just go with that. How good is it compared to 2. I really want 2, but I want to play 1 first.

I recommend Sonic CD. Fun game with a great soundtrack.

If I'm not mistaken, it was 1200 points when I got it (a couple of years ago), but they may have lowered the price (I don't frequent the 360 too often, so I'm not really sure how they do things). Still, even at the 1200 point range, it's still one of my favorite 360 games.

EDIT: Haven't had the chance to play 2 yet unfortunately, so I can't compare them.

S even with Demos I'm having a tough time choosing. Super Meat Boy, Portal, or Megaman 10? Leaning more towards meat boy or portal.

Ya I might be getting $200 of free spending,I was wondering what should I get with it and my choices are:
A)a few 3ds games/eshop cards
B)Ipod touch
C)3ds xl
what do you guys think?

Do you have any sort of recent MP3 player already? If not, I'd definitely go with the Touch. Otherwise, I'd probably save it for the upcoming 3DS games in the fall.

I just got $110 today and got 2 eshop cards,but sometime this week I get another $100

Totally agree with Mickey on this one. With Epic Mickey 2: Power of Illusion, Castlevania and other big 3DS games coming out here soon I would just put that money away, but than again I dont know if those are big games for you or not.

well some money is going towards NSMB2(just for the hell of it) and black ops 2,so thanks guys probaubly will save my money for upcoming games.

Deciding between Devil May Cry 4, MGS4, Valkyria Chronicles, or Raging Blast 2. I'm feeling for something with lots of action so first things that comes to mind is DMC4 and RB2. However I never played a DMC game before so I don't know if I should start with 4 or not. Oh and I don't if I can get MGS4 with my $10. So yea, any recommendations?

THIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIS

Actually no just get Nier.

Of those 4, MGS4 and Valkyria Chronicles are of the highest quality. I get you're looking for action, but Valkyria Chronicles is fantastic, and should definitely be experienced. There's nothing like it, outside of its sequel, of course.

This thread needs more Tales of Madness, GotY 2012!!!

You might enjoy the first part of DMC4 more if you never experienced Dante, but then the second part would be even more of a drag. Just get this instead.

Oh yea I forgot about the collection. Might just get that. VC is a RPG which I personally think I have enough of atm. So yea, thanks guys.
