Default Re: I may be Retro, but my heart is still NextGen!

Thought it about time to do an update before I get too lazy…

Final Fantasy 13-2 Crystal Meth Edition.
Well… you've got to be out of your head to understand the story, or perhaps I’m just getting too old for JP RPG type games. The pre-order Steelbook is very nice.




Metal Gear Solid HD LE.
The box is not in bad condition considering Zavvi sent it to me packaged in nothing but a plastic bag; it only suffered a small thumb size dent to the top that can be seen in the pic.




Forbidden Planet UK finally sent my Mass Effect Normandy model ships. I can see why it took them so long to get stock when you have to consider that each model has been hand-painted (by rescued one-eyed chimpanzees). Paint job is not so bad that it ruins the models, but could have been better – in my mind.




Alan Wake CE for the PC.
Love it! Especially after picking up an Xbox 360 type controller instead of using keyboard and mouse. Story, graphics, music, all hit the mark for me personally, although perhaps the combat can be a tad repetitive at times. Without giving away spoilers there will be a few memories like the Henderson Farm that will linger on well after I’ve finished with the game.




Other Stuff included Silent Hill NTSC version for the PSone. Pre-owned good condition Uncharted 2 steelbook. Darkness 2 LE with Lenticular cover sleeve. Soul Calibur V CE.




And of course Mass Effect 3 CE for the PC which proved to be such a pain in the arse to get working that I gave up after phoning the EA helpdesk 5 times and bought the standard edition on the Xbox 360 to play instead.

I'm looking forward to Diablo III now, cheers everyone

Exclamation ...

Cool update!

PS
In case your Mass Effect crazy, there's 1 more variant for the ship replica that hasn't released yet.

Welcome to the site! I think I'm at that point in my life where the transitions are heavily affecting my video game passion, thereby making it very hard to pursue that avenue.

I am glad that you were able to get back into gaming and collecting.
