War of The Monsters

Have you ever though of a game where all your favourite giant creatures fight against each other? Wouldn't it be cool? Well, not really, it's a pretty obvious idea. But the game's pretty nice and worth a try. I have two of these editions, but only one is complete with the gigantic poster. There aren't many of these around, each poster is individually numbered which means only a few were ever produced. I don't know how many. By the way the background image (which, by the way, you can't really see...) is from Ultraman. I wanted to add a Kamen Rider or Sentai image because I do like those shows and I don't know much about Ultraman, but that pic was nice and easy to find, so, ... whatever, just cut the crap...

DJ Decks and FX

Whilst I appreciate all sorts of *good* music except hardcore styles such as most Metals and certain styles of Hip Hop, Rap (and I deffinitely do not like Kuduro), my favourite music styles are in fact Dance Music (eurodance style), Trance and House/Club and similar styles (not including mind-blowing and repetitive Tecno). So, here's another special thingy: DJ Decks and FX edition. Silver bag, card slipcase, two discs, manual, nothing else. Looks good, but very simplistic. And yes it's very unusual to find this edition, although it is not worth much.

Killzone Liberation

We do know that Sony enjoys releasing special packs to promote their main games. The ones that are publicitized everywhere. Killzone is one of them. And this special pack is pretty sweet too. Everything you need in war is included: A tactical dossier (information leaflet), Ground assault (the game), Battlefield Intel (press disc), and most inportant thing (not!), the Combat Gear (a t-shirt). Bring it on!

Airblade?

I have not played this game so there isn't much I can tell about it. I found this edition and picked it for a very good price. Comes with a wallet/bag and two discs inside a circle-shaped case. And that's it.

Heavenly Beauty

This ain't your regular edition of the game. Very simple, but great looking. It doesn't contain anything special or elaborated. A black envelope with silver scriblings. Inside, a special artbook/leaflet with beautiful images and drawings from this game. Includes two special discs, one being the review code with a different art work of the original game disc, and the press materials bonus disc. One of my favourite editions.

Gangs of London

To be honest, I don't know much about this game. I've seen many pics and heard about it before it was released but never managed to play it. Then I saw this edition and grabed it as soon as I had the chance. A box set imitating a crime report where the files are in fact promotional papers with information about the game. The evidence is a promo copy of the game. Pretty nice. The edition has an old-fashined look (no, it is not damaged or dirty, it really is like that).

Formula 1

A limited edition of Formula 1 99 released in France only, in a nice box, a t-shirt and a cap. I'm not sure why it was only released in France though, maybe to celebrate something like the Monde des Bleues Edition. The other one is a Formula 1 2003 Press edition with two discs, one of them being the promo version of the game. A nice looking edition.

Eyetoy Chat

Just a promo boxset with two disc and some bonus stuff. Nice and rare, but no big deal. This box is the only Eyetoy edition I have that doesn't come with a camera. Shame, shame...

Patapon

Another great title created by the producers (or makers, whatever) of LocoRoco. Original, one of a kind. Sure, but I am starting to think originality must evolve to something bigger than just games like this one. So many things to be done in videogames... Hope the future is more promising than it actually looks. Anyways, this is another of the many editions I have and just came to my hands this week. Includes a leaflet with pics and information, the promo version of the game and the regular press disc. It was kinda hard to get a hold of this edition since I failed to get two before, and it is not easily found. This one came from Australia.

Corrections and changes

I have been correcting some of the older posts and I also updated some of the pictures. One of my friends complained about my bed's square-patterned bedspread appearing in all pictures. The guy made me lose one Saturday changing the backgrounds of the pictures and updating my blog. Anyway, if you visited my blog before, you know I changed the overall background and added a new layout. Hope you enjoy the banner because I am not skilled in Photoshop and I made that by messing with the tools and reading a couple of tutorials. But I am glad it came out so well. Well at least I enjoy it. Next update will include more regular games but it might take some time. Next month I'll be buying a PSP =)

The latest, not the last nor the least

Here it is, finally. An Xbox 360 Elite, with a free GTA IV game. Was bought last week. Awesome purchase. Unfortunately for me, there are only two main consoles missing... Besides Mega CD, I don't have a PSP and a Master System. Oh my god, the first childhood console, Master System, complete and Mint, given away by my parents and I still did not move a finger to get another one. It will come. I am sure. It will come. Sooner or Later...

ZELDA

As you probably know already, there are some items out there that are very hard to nearly impossible to obtain. My collection has some interesting items, but it is so far away from my goals... Not to mention I don't even have japanese or american games and editions for even a single console that I definitely must buy some time later if I want to have a good collection. And there are some amazing items out there that I never expect to get because they are either too rare or extremely expensive (ever heard of the Tetris for Megadrive? If not, you might be familiar with something more common such as the pal version of Batman and Robin or Fatal Fury Special for Mega/Sega CD...)

...

This month a miracle happened. The next pictures show something I never expected to get in my collection. These are items I saw in the internet and the same minute I knew about them I told to myself... "Don't even dream, you will never have those in your collection". And, this month, I just proved how wrong I was. From this point onward, "impossible" is a word that I will never tell when I talk about my collection. I know that they are not the rarest thing in the world, there are things out there worth a lot more cash. But to me, to actually reach the day I would own these editions? That's heaven... You will not be surprised because you probably already know them, but there they are: all the 3 Zelda Limited Edition Adventure Sets!

Picture Rampage

I promised a lot of pictures, but since my camera's battery is done for, I could not take them. So I'll just add some more that I have in my laptop at this moment. Here it goes...

Been a while...

... since I last updated. So much to show yet, but I'm lazy... I will need to find a job soon and increase my retro game collection as well. Anyway, you can expect a lot of pictures soon. I will be filling the main page with plenty of pictures and no text. I will also start adding my action figure collection too, which is rather small but hey those things are expensive sometimes. Doing my best to increase the number of items and the quality of my collection.

Devil May Cry

When I took my copy of Resident Evil: Code Veronica X off the self, I realized it had a bonus disc. As I was playing the game and being killed by zombies after a few hours of play, I got bored and turned the console off. But then, when I was going to place the disc inside the case... there it was, the playable demo of a certain game called Devil May Cry. Let's try it out...

...I played and finished the demo. I kinda enjoyed the game but money was short and I deffinitely would not buy it, there were other priorities. Needless to say I ended up purchasing the game. Played till the very end, all difficulty levels, even got an S rank in every mission in Dante Must Die. All done. Some time later, #2 came out and I had to buy it. Unfortunately I did not like it as much. The gameplay was fine, but the storyline did not catch my attention. I finished that game, then by the time I made it to the university #3 came out. I never finished the third one unfortunately. And #4 is coming. Damn I have to catch up fast.

The first Devil May Cry was a reference to me. Finally I bought a game where I could do some nice stunts, fast-paced action, it was a great experience... Okay, Enough talk now.

My collection includes the following: The regular edition of the original game and a Special edition promo version that comes in a card sleeve/digipack. Great-looking, but no big deal here. Then I have two editions of Devil May Cry 2: the retail version and the Limited Promo edition with a pretty cool slipcase. It was not pictured though, but if you'd like to see it just add a comment. Finally I have two limited editions of the third game. In fact they are the regular game with a limited edition cover/slipcase, and that's it. There are two covers, one is exclusive to the UK and the other one is exclusive to Germany. They both look really great and I love artworks such as these. I am still missing the Special Edition of the third game, but that one is fairly common and since I did not finish the third game, now's the chance =).
