13. Want

After having cut back on spending and keeping focused on our budget, I no longer am able to go out and purchase whatever game I happen to desire.  I had a couple gift cards that I saved from Christmas and my birthday to purchase some of the games I knew I wanted.  Most of that money is spoken for, but here is the list of games I want but don't have budgeted.

1. Space Invaders Extreme, PSP - I know that the core gameplay is from a 30 year old game, but honestly the modern upgrade is as beautiful as it is fun.  I've already played the demo for many hours.  I'm sure the main game is just as amazing.  ($20)

2. Penny Arcade: On the Rain-slick Precipice of Darkness, Mac or Xbox 360 - I honestly don't know if I want this game yet or not, but the Penny Arcade brand is hard to ignore.  I love their website, their comics, and even their gaming politics... I really think I would like their game. ($20)

3. Echochrome, PSP - I wasn't all that excited by the demo, but now that I've seen what some of the advanced maps look like I really want to play the game.  It does look like a fun, portable, puzzle game. ($10)

4. Bionic Commando: Rearmed, Xbox 360 - I didn't play much Bionic Commando as a kid, so I'm looking forward to this gorgeous remake.  The trailer looks like a lot of fun. (not sure)

5. Boom Blox, Wii - This game started with negative press and slowly moved its way to being critically praised.  I would like to try the game prior to ever purchasing it, but from all that I've read I can't go wrong with getting this game. ($40)

6. Mario Kart Wii, Wii - I realize that this Mario Kart is not as good as the previous Mario Kart games, but I don't care.  I've always enjoyed Mario Kart and think I would enjoy playing this version as well. ($40)

7. Super Smash Brothers Brawl, Wii - Use the description above, but in all instances you see "Mario Kart" replace it with "Super Smash Brothers" ($40)

There are more, but this is all that is coming to mind at the moment.  How much does a kidney sell for nowadays?
