Every once in a while, GameFly throws a storewide sale our way. Fortunately, now is one of those times — until May 19th, at least — so it’s worth checking out the used games that the site has to offer. Whether you’re looking for something fun to play during Game Night or just want to pick up a cartridge that you don’t already own, there are a lot of noteworthy titles available.

Here are some that we found intriguing, either because they’re awesome games or they’re just too cheap to resist (or some combination thereof):

Those are just the ones that stuck out to us, though. Let us know in the comments if you see any others worth a mention.

The ancient prophecies foretold of the one time someone would put a custom painted DS Lite on eBay and it would not look terrible. This Hero of Painted DS Lites, now revealed as viper640_0 from the idyllic POWER SELLER VILLAGE, whose early efforts lacked magic.

Now, however, he has acquired the Airbrush of Paint and defeated the Impulse to Use Questionable Color Schemes, and has returned from his quest with the Triforce of Pretty Good Paint Jobs. And, uh, he’s selling it on eBay. We would be proud to carry this DS Lite around in Hyrule or even somewhere that existed.

51cdb_godot051308 Has Phoenix Wright 3 been removed from the docket in Europe?Capcom released Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney in Europe last week despite the fact that its predecessor, Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney: Trials and Tribulations has yet to come out. We thought it was bad enough when the games were being released out of order, but now two pieces of tenuous evidence suggest that Phoenix Wright 3 may not see a European release at all.

The first (less convincing) sign is that Apollo Justice’s (loud) Nintendo Europe webpage has the string “AceAttorney3″ in its URL. That doesn’t really mean that the third Ace Attorney game isn’t happening, rather that Apollo Justice is the third Ace Attorney game to be released, and that whoever created the URL didn’t save a space for the real AA3.

More troubling is the fact that there is a site for Trials and Tribulations, but there are no longer any links to it. Could this point to a cancellation? Court Records members speculate that T&T would get a higher PEGI content rating than the other Ace Attorney games, and because of that, Capcom wouldn’t benefit from releasing it. In any case, both the U.S. and Japan have cheap and plentiful Trials and Tribulationses. Feel free to partake!

[Thanks, Maz!]
