Prophet of Mike Zagurski 0 Report post Posted January 9, 2009 Virgin Megastore is probably out of business right now but last week I picked up GTA IV and WWE SDvRAW 2009 together for $60. I wish they would have marked the games down further but I'm happy with them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I hardly ever pay full price. Plus I play them all. It's just that some get less play time than others. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In 2006 or so, Sir Richard Branson sold the stores off and they were rebranded as Zavvi. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Boner Kawanger 0 Report post Posted January 28, 2009 In the next Mario & Luigi RPG on the DS, not only do you control the Mario Bros AND Bowser at the same time, but Mario and Luigi are inside Bowser.

Seems interesting, though I wonder how well the Touch-Screen added attack powers will play out during the game. Some people I knew 8 years ago or so would probably use this to try to make a "Science of Mario's World" site. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
