Hope you enjoy this, its one of my all time favourite RPG's. Very linear to begin with and the main character starts off as an absolute douche but stick with it and incredible :D

I love the Tales series so I'm looking forward to playing this one :)

Finally picked up a copy of Asura's Wrath on the 360 for £18, been dying to play this but it's just been a bit too expensive - even the local CEX was selling it for £32. Good old shopto had it all packaged and ready to go in about 5 minutes!!

Hopefully you'll enjoy it :D Its by no means a great game gameplay wise but it is pretty awesome at what it does.

i meant to say earlier, that i picked up the batman arkham city for £15 that's been kicking around in morrisons as a deal since christmas, but out of stock for most places. they did have asura's wrath in there for £17 but i didn't pick it up. i probably can, and possibly even tomorrow (if still in stock), if anybody wants me to check. send me a pm though, so i get a message on my phone.

Looks almost like an interactive anime to me from what I've played of it - amazed by the production values.

Received Resident Evil Zero for the Gamecube today. It's been ages since I crossed something else off the GC list but this one is a good 'un :)

Picked up one of the two 360 games that I've been after recently in the form of Deadly Premonition.

Now just need to find Tomb Raider Anniversary.

Don't forget to buy the proper ending DLC!
Good ol' Capcom. Where would we be without you.

It felt more like an expansion pack (like the Alan Wake expansions released) seeing as the game has more than one ending on the disc already. That and it was uncharacteristically cheap for Capcom, I expected them to charge 800 points at least for it...

I'd love to see some pics of that MM game, I'm not sure if I have one from Tectoy or not :D

The Korean PC releases are all really nice, not sure if they are official or not (I'm guessing not judging by a couple of the games including and artwork used) but they are all really nice and boxart wise much nicer than most of the stuff Capcom used for their official Euro releases! Here's an older pic of most of my Korean games:
