As you can see, I decided to write about the next updates before posting a single picture. I just felt like doing that. I bet almost nobody reads the text anyway. I bet the few that visit the blog are just hoping for pictures. I'm just a regular guy posting pics of his collection, some of which belong to games I never intended to play in the first place. I also spend a lot of time complaining about... nearly everything so I believe there isn't much point in reading the texts.
So why to I write then? That's easy. Because I like to write about my editions, to say what I think about this game or...

You'll not smile after you die in the first level!!
Deathsmiles. Yeah, another crazy shooter to make me want to tear my hair. Never expected this would have a PAL release. If this game was released here, why exactly the others weren't? Some things just make no sense to me....
€50 the machine gun? I'll just take the helmet thanks.
Another one of those amazingly expensive editions that nearly cost as much as a 2nd hand console... Sony, you are going off the road... These editions might be limited, but of course most dedicated players and collectors will want it, so you know you can make some extra cash of of them. Then I have to blame myself for buying them because I'm stupid. I like them, I mus say I do, but the prices are STUPIDLY HIGH! The price for regular games are already stupidly hi over...
Blazblue Continuum Shift Shipping Box Edition...
Yes, this is a major ripoff!! If you consider the preorder for the collector's edition alone was available for about 22 euros and this edition cost nearly 80... What the hell were these guys thinking???
I mean, they release a very limited edition for the European market to apologize for the extreme delay with Calamity Trigger, which came to here A LONG TIME after the american release date. So they placed for sale this so called "Fan Edition" on this WEIRD website...
Combat of Giants
These editions were only released in Portugal and Spain I believe. I did not find them anywhere else, so I believe they will be rare in the future. They are nothing special, only the regular games with some bonus figures and such. But they look good and there aren't that many editions for the DS such as these so they are very nice collectibles.
The pictures are from Combat of Giants: Dragons with the golden dragon figure, Combat of Giants: Mutant Insects with...
The King of Fighters arrived pretty beaten :(
And besides the PAL collector's edition released in Australia, those fellows also have several other treasures that were not released anywhere else. One of them is this box set: a King of Fighters Collector's Edition limited to only 500 pieces that comes with a Kyo statue and an authentication certificate. However... even a well trained monkey could to a better job to package this edition and sent it to the other side of the world... so it came pretty beaten... :(
There's...
Resident Evil 5 PAL Boxset? I really had no idea!
Ya know that limited edition that came out in several countries with different goodies? Ya probably also know that all we European costumers got was only a crappy steelbook edition with no extra content at all...
Wrong.
The Resident Evil 5 Collector's Edition Boxset had a PAL release in Australia and it's very very similar to the US version. It comes with all the items the american version had. It's an Australian exclusive, but it surely is the PAL version.
I...
Opening the pandora box
And two years after I made this purchase, it finally arrived in the mail: the Pandora portable system, running linux. I still did not have the time to test it, but once the weekend arrives I'm gonna play a littl...
No I did not steal a bank...
... but this made some serious damage that's gonna take some time to recover, and I ain't kidding when I say that. Sooner or later I'll have to go on a videogame diet because if I keep buying games like I've been buying in the last few months I'll never be able to recover from the damage.
You probably already know what it is, no need to mention. The picture speaks for itself...
...
Eggman?? It's Robotnik you fools!
And the mascot we all used to love partially loses its shine when it comes to 3D games. Oh well... Sonic Colours is a good game. I've played just a little bit, but it's not the sort of game that catches my attention. I was fairly more excited about Sonic 4 than this one. And I still did not play 4 (I hate downloadale-only games!). I got this limited edition pack for the Wii. There's also a similar pack for DS but comes with three different figurines. It looks pretty...
Look! That guy killed another one!
I've already gotten Assassin's Creed II Black Edition for the 360 but since I'm taking my collection quite seriously I've kept it sealed and sealed it shall remain. Then the Codex Edition for Brotherhood came out. There was this White Edition I as still missing but I obviously expected to get it. Well, for 30 euros or so, I thought it was a good option, especially because I really wanted to play the game. So I opened my white edition this time and decided to play the...
Enslaved
Well, that's all I can say... I don't know much about this game yet besides the title. I don't have the collector's edition or the talent pack yet. But the press kit is quite something... the complete game plus 2 extra discs (one of them being the soundtrack) and some fancy artwork resembling the Tekken 5 press kit... that was pretty nice! This is another game I expect to play soo...
The newly released Mega Drive games
I have to say... when I preordered Pier Solar, I never expected that a few guys could pull out such an amazing masterpiece.
THIS GAME IS AWESOME.
All said. Everything about this game is good: the graphics are very impressive for a 16bit game made by fans, the soundtrack is amazing and the improving soundtrack CD that allows you to get a better sound quality while playing thanks to the Mega CD... to me that is something totally out of this world. The package...
Vampires are sexy now. When will zombies become too?
Dead Rising was a game that came out by the time I did not have an Xbox 360. Although I got the game at a bargain price and I'm still missing the tin edition, I decided to pick up this Outbreak Edition for PS3. The Zombrex edition may come to my collection some time soo, especially if it's the 360 version. People talk about how bad this game is compared to the 360 version, but as far as I can tell, according to reviews, the problems are only details. I'm not a graphic...
The next COD game will offer you a real AK7 for just €500.
Yup... for about 130 euros I got the prestige edition with the incomplete hardened edition and the RC car. They surely have some original ideas, but stupidly high prices for a single game. It took me a while until I decided to buy the game. First, I said I wasn't going to buy that. But then... I ended up buying. I am a weak person, really...
Finished the game. Good, but more of the same without nothing original... Storyline is nice but a little confusing. The ending...
Now it's the heroes' fashion this year?
And finally, two games came out: DC Online Universe with a fancy press kit I got for a fair price and Marvel VS Capcom 3. Unfortunately, there is no Limited Edition for us in Europe for this second game. We only got a bonus comic book and Gamestation also released the Tin case for free. But the tin case is nothing but an extra you get with the regular copy of the game. It doesn't even come sealed. Shame, shame! I hate these crappy tin cases. They look good but they...
The Real Driving Simulation. It ran over my wallet!! Twice!!
After such a long time, Gran Turismo 5 is finally here. And with it came a stupidly expensive edition, a press kit and a collectors edition as well. Damn! I'm getting a little tired of editions that almost cost as much as the console itself, it just makes no sense. But still, people buy them and Sony makes more. f these editions get so expensive in the future I won't be able to get them just like that. Oh well...
I must say that I was not really expecting much from...
Happy Birthday Mario! (hey, it's never too late ^_^)
Ahhh... back to the old days when videogames were as fun as ever! This edition is amazing, it's a great way to celebrate Mario's 30th anniversary! I really - really loved this edition and it's contents, for such an awesome price. I only wished they also included Super Mario orld on the Snes, but I'm happy enough! Happy Birthday Mario!...
The game that really stressed me... Is back to stress me again!!
And I swear for God's sake that this will be the next thing I will be playing after I finish the games I'm now playing. I played the first title on the PS3 not too long ago, soon after finishing Resi Evil 5. Oh boy, if it wasn't a refreshing experience in the Survival Horror department... I was the best game of it's genre I have played in a very long time, and it did cause a lot of stress on me because some parts can really scare the hell out of one person. I'm not the sort...
This! Is!.... Ghost of Sparta!
Yes you heard about it. Yes Sony was offering it on the PSN website. No I did not win it. Yes I did pay for it. No it wasn't expensive. Yes I was lucky. No, I did not play this one yet, and I believe it's the only GoW game I still haven't played. And yes I do expect to play the game once I get the original copy.
I know this game stands somewhere after II and before III. I finished the previous PSP game and loved it but unfortunately I now have other things to play,...
Go to Jail!
And with that same edition of 007, I also got this Monopoly edition for the Wii. This is a press kit for sure as it comes with a media disc. I don't know much about monopoly on videogame consoles though but I couldn't let this one get awa...
Nobody really expected this game would return
But Nintendo surprised us by releasing an old time classic: 007 Goldeneye. I must say that I didn't play the first game that much mainly because I was not given an N64 back in the days. I only played at my friend's home and even so the console wasn't his. So, there isn't much I know about the first game besides all the videos and images I saw back then. I believe it's considered one of the best shooters of its age and it's impressive that this particular title saw the...
Guitar Hero, Band hero, DJ Hero, Rock Band... Isn't that a little too much??
Yes, I am sick of games like this. The first... 4 or so were funny. But now? It's just sick. There are way too may now. And most of them have the complete band. That's enough dudes, knock it off... It's not funny anymore, people are getting tired...
I believe this was only available for stores to help promoting the game. It's nothing special, but considering it's not for sale, I thought it was worth to pic...
