hopefully you have a decent place to rent games, its at least worth a rental, there are many games that are great, but so quirky, its plain to see they are not for everyone.
Animal Crossing and Pikmin are prime examples, they may be a big suprise, but certainly one to not rush into buying if your unsure.
I wish I had a good video store around, I like to rent those types(beachspikers, animal crossing), I want to play them but not buy them, but my Blockbuster is the only store in 100 miles that has GC games, and they get nothing but crap,(got Capcom Vs SNK, Scorpion King , Universal Studios and such, but passed on beachspikers, Soccer slam and Animal Crossing)
what a frustrating mess
