This is what I consider the first "real" Castlevania game that's not for the GBA since SotN. So of course I want to play it. Everything I've read about it indicates that it's a solid game, but not an incredible game. Ah well, whatever, it's Castlevania, and I want my fix. I'm probably picking this sucker up right after I turn in my goddamn aglorithms final. (The drinking will start the next day.)

<b>Final Fantasy Tactics Advance</b>
I'll have to buy a GB Player, but how can I pass up the sequel to FFT? There are other GBA games I'd like to play (Metroid, all of the Castlevanias, new Mario RPG), but this one is at the top of my list.

<b>Prince of Persia</b>
Okay, who <i>hasn't</i> heard nothing but good things about this one?

I like to play FFXI, but that's not even realistic time-wise. I know I'll be able to play at least one of these over my break, but there's no way I could continue to play any game once next semester starts.

Keep in mind that the last game I bought was Zelda for the GC. Be gentle, it's been a while...</div>

<div style='font: 10pt verdana; text-align: left; padding: 0% 10% 0% 10%; '>The only thing I have now is my algorithms take home final. Having a videogame lying around, like Castlevania, would be far too much of a temptation.</div>

you should just get the ROM for FFTA, playing RPGs on the GBA sucks ...

<div style='font: 10pt verdana; text-align: left; padding: 0% 10% 0% 10%; '>Notice I said I was going to buy a GB Player, not a GBA or SP. And if its different, so be it. It looks like a fun game.</div>

Playing RPG's on the GBA SP is way better than playing it on your computer screen or GB player. Higher resolution, and it's much more comfortable (since you can relax anywhere you want and any way you want).

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>I love relaxing lazilly in my hammock up at my beachside cottage with a cooler and beer, a GBASP, a book, and the summer sun =)

It doesn't get much better than that (barring the exact same situation, only with two hot bikini wearing nymphos fanning you off with those big arabian feather fans, and another in a french maid outfit to serve your beer)</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>Um, dude? If you had two hot bikini wearing nymphos (plus one in a french maid outfit) around, why the hell would you be playing GBA games? =)</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>Uh, the Game Boy Player is basically identical to playing a SNES game on my TV. I might have been spoiled by recent consoles, but I'm not going to say that a tiny handheld screen is better than sitting on my couch and using my TV.</div>

The size of the screen is irrelevent, but just to make sure, do you sit a foot from your television screen as you would from a GBA SP screen? Also, on a television screen the GBA games have poor resolution and the colouring is bad, red usually appears as

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>Plus laying back in a hammock under the summer sun with the light summer breeze, a cooler with nice cold beer, is way more fun than sitting under a ceiling, surrounded by walls, inside of a building sitting on a couch with a glass of warm water.</div>

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>Just the fact that they're hot and they're there serving every need (And remember they're nymphos) would be enough to satisfy anyones massive ego. The GBA games will still be just as fun regardless =P</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>I sit back a good 4-6 feet. It looks great to me. I don't see what the problem is.</div>

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>I was going to play it after Tactics Ogre, but then I got Fire Emblem which I just can't put down, and now I have Sword of Mana as well which I'll probably play first (since I loved the original version and I can hardly wait to play this one)</div>

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>The colour is obviously lighter on the TV screen than it is on the GBA screen. It's still the same colour, just a whole lot lighter if you follow.</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>I would like to point out, however, that the apparent fact that you never open your windows or maintain a storage of refrigerated liquids at your residence is entirely your own fault. And for the sake of reference, summer ended some months ago and we are currently in winter.</div>
