Take a look back at Engadget's favorite Game Boy Advance games
On the 20th anniversary of the Game Boy Advance, the Engadget staff looks back at some of its favorite GBA titles.
Twitch Plays Pokemon continues, 30k tune in for start of Emerald
After more than a month of combined playtime and a bajillion-and-one views between Pokemon Red and Pokemon Crystal, the Twitch Plays Pokemon community has moved on to Pokemon Emerald. Approximately 30,000 poke-trainers showed up for the start of the Hoenn region adventure, which has the added feature of a display that shows the party's current pokemon. It's okay everyone, we don't need to press start to see who's in the party now and listen to Bulbasaur's cry for 15 minutes! The first TPP playthrough brought us gods and religions, the second gave us a battle against those same deified creatures. The third playthrough's running meme thus far seems to be that the player character, a female avatar named "A" (short for "Anarchy"), is a psychopathic murderer. Because sure, why not.

Get your Pokemons for cheap at Circuit City
Circuit City seems to be the place to go for cheap Pokemon games this week. While a few stores are offering Pokemon related deals to celebrate the release of the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon games, Circuit City has some of the better ones that we've seen. The best deal is Pokemon Emerald for the GBA, which the retailer is offering for $14.99. If you want something more modern, though, you could pick up either Diamond or Pearl, which are marked down to $24.99 for the week. Also, if your sights are set on one of the Mystery Dungeon games, purchasing one at Circuit City will net you a free Pokemon action figure. Unfortunately, we don't know what these figures look like, but since they're free with the purchase, we're not all that concerned. The best part is that these deals are offered online at CircuitCity.com, too, so you don't have to actually leave the comfort of your own home and, you know, socialize. [Via CAG]
