340 dollar shopping spree

[FWELR]

I just got my checks from my umpiring gig, what games should I get? I really want to get some good games, but I also want to save a little too. Any suggestions, you can see what games I like in my sig. I also have a DS, and the original XBOX. The only games I'm getting for sure are:
Godfather: Blackhand Edition
Metroid Prime: Hunters

Also looking at some GC games that I might've missed. Any help is appreciated!

invest it in the stock market

nah seriously i miss being a kid with no bills, no saving up for a car, apartment, dog, bf UGH I HATE BEING AN ADULT!!

buy it on frivilous things and enjoy it while you still can buy godfather cause its the sh*t seriously im playing it actually now before i leave for work at 11 tonight (LAST NIGHT OF WORK TILL VACATION BITCHES!!) and whatever else you want, snag it

lucky for me, i got my tax returns (adult talk) and i bought some new summer clothes. had $300 to spend ended up spending 160$ on an entire wardrobe (minus shoes) at the outlets which is my FAVORITE place to shop (for a girl, i HATE shoping)

have fun

considering my job, all my uniforms, guns basically anything police related can be a tax write off so considering my salary and living conditions (one bedroom apartment) and the fact that im still single (not married but steady bf) i wouldnt owe a dime

ended up getting 3 grand from taxes this year. all went to car, insurance, phones, rent ect. fastest 3 grand i ever spent :sick:

[FWELR]

It's a Capcom game. You're basicaly a regular dude who gets sucked into his favorite movie.

The "movie/game" is similar to a lot of hero comics. You basicaly just go and beat the crap out of all the bad guys and bosses.
It's sidescrolling and pretty simple yet fun.

You might not like it but I think it's awsome and it has good reviews.
I'd say rent it first but you can get it cheaper then rental prices

No but if you buy a used copy on ebay or buy new off game selling forums you could get it for around $30.00 which then it *may* be worth it.

High-quality game but kiddie-themed and repetitive.

yeah the storyling and voice acting in Elebits is very cheesy (call it kiddie if you want) BUT a very fun game.

Plays like a FPS game.

Edit Mode is amazing if you know how to use it

QFT.

More then just cheesy, it's also horrible... The voice actress for the story is either stoned/special/or reading translations off of google language tools. It doesn't have to deep of a story anyway so even though it's a poor story with a poor presentation it won't ruin the experience to much.

The controls are very much like an FPS and surprisingly they work very, very well. If only the shooters out now had controls with Elebits quality.

I only played a bit of editing but it seemed realy good. High-end sandbox mode plus you can send maps online.
