Two is nice, but.....

Are you in the mood for some DS but realize that you've just about exhausted your meager collection of games? Well then, Best Buy has the solution for you this week: Just buy any two DS titles and get a third free! Hmm... that sounds a little too good to be true, right? You must be wondering what pitiful selection of shovelware titles are being offered as the free one, I imagine. But that's the best part: You can pick any game (of equal or lesser value, of course), including expensive Square Enix ones, making this a pretty sweet deal!

Of course, the only problem I have is that every awesome title on Best Buy's shelves, I already have on my shelves at home. But since my girlfriend had her eyes on a couple of games, I decided to look and see if I could find just one that I wanted. After a few minutes of fruitless searching I came upon an unfamiliar box with the words Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor on the front. Okay, I've heard of this series, I thought, but have never actually played any of it. Could be worth checking out....

Of course, I wasn't feeling quite daring enough to buy a game I knew nothing about, but after a quick browse through 1UP's review, I decided I should give it a go. I haven't started playing yet, but plan on giving my impressions when I do. It sounds quite different from many of the RPGs I've played recently, and I'm always happy to try new things, especially on the DS where you don't run the risk of blowing 60 bucks on something that turns out to be a lot less fun than you imagined!

So head on down to your local Best Buy and take advantage of the three-for-two sale yourself. It runs until this Saturday, but I wouldn't dawdle if I were you, because I've heard the DS is rather popular. Not sure what to buy? Well, why don't you start here.
